What is the best way to protect your garage floor?

Your garage floor is an important part of your home, and it's worth protecting. Knowing the right type of coating for your garage is vital to getting the garage floor that you have always dreamed of.

We know that there are several different types of coatings and coverings you can put down on your garage floor and we want to help you understand the pros and cons of each one.

Here are your options:

  • Solid Color Epoxy/ Polyaspartic Floor Coating

  • Flake Floor Epoxy/ Polyaspartic Floor Coating

  • Metallic floor coating

  • Tile floor covering.



Which style of coating would be best for your garage floor?


Option 1. Tile floors for your garage floor.


Installing these tiles on top of your garage floor can be easy and make the garage look clean. That might be the only benefit of using tiles for your garage. As your vehicles bring in grim and dirt, and chemicals from the roads, they will fall onto the floor and then down in between the floor and the tile. The problem is that now all that dirt, mud, and chemicals are on your floor and can not be cleaned up without taking all the tiles out.

There seems to be no aspect of protection to your garage floor, and it may seem like the garage floor is clean after you have pressure washed, but the dirt is still there under all the tiles.


Option 2: Metallic Coatings for your garage floor.


This is a very stylish and creative way of coating your garage floor and can create a very unique look. The price on these types of floors are much higher than a solid color coating or flake floors.
And they may look good for a time but the problem with these coatings is that it is much easier to see any scratches in the floors from studded tires or from rocks that get stuck in your tires. Whether they are micro scratches from rocks or someone dragging something sharp against the floor, the metallic floors can look pretty worn out quickly, especially for the price of the floor.


Option 3: Solid Color Epoxy/Polyaspartic Coating for your garage floor.


This is your entry level coating for any garage or shop. It is more affordable than most other floors and it gives the same benefits that a flake floor coating will. Those benefits are that they are easy to clean, protection from chemicals and look amazing.
Unlike the Metallic floors, you will not be able to see micro scratches in the floor and they will look amazing for years. If you are going to do anything for protecting your garage floor, this would be the perfect fit.




Option 4: The best option for coating your garage floor is a flake floor coating.


With this style of floor you get the added bonus of additional coats of product to offer a lasting and the strongest floor. You get the added bonus of a decorative flake blend added to the floor of your color choice. The flake floors in our garage floors not only looks amazing but it helps keep the floor looking cleaner longer. You will not be able to see micro or larger scratches in the floor. These floor still are amazingly easy to clean and offer the most protection from chemicals.






It's a question that's on everyone's mind these days: Why should I bother to spend time and money protecting my garage floor? After all, it's just a room for storing stuff. If it gets dirty or damaged, who cares?

1. Protecting your garage floor means that it will last longer. When you take care of your garage floor, you'll be able to use it for years and it will always look amazing.

2. Coating your floor allows that floor to be easy to clean.
