Polyurethane floors – softer than epoxy and more elastic, PU floors are more resistant to scratches but less hard-wearing. They can cope with extreme cold temperatures. It should NOT be used with epoxy. The following video shows a before and after for an epoxy garage floor using Permagard's epoxy garage floor products. A spatula is helpful for cleaning the floor. This can be used to remove stubborn dirt and dried paint stains. Afterwards, a vacuum cleaner helps to remove dust and loose dirt. Make sure to remove oil stains with a suitable oil stain remover. There is now a better option available, one that provides extra UV stability, abrasion resistance, and durability. The option for many is now Polyurethane Resin. Polyurethane offers an extremely hard-wearing coating and is generally used where large commercial operations are being carried out. This type of flooring is necessary for this type of environment and is designed to last for a very long time.

All that’s left to do now is provide some protection to the walls of your garage. Some extra wide masking tape or painters tape can be placed around the wall floor joint and you may also want to attach some plastic sheeting to the lower half of the wall. Is a sealing of the garage floor afterwards even necessary? What do you need a sealing layer for? The additional sealing is particularly worthwhile if you have scattered colour chips. But a sealing layer can also be helpful without colour accents in the coating. Because without sealing the epoxy resin layer, sharp edges can remain. These can be softened or even completely smoothed out with the sealing. With a garage epoxy floor, you will want to add at least two coats. Allow at least 12 hours to dry between coats and no more than 48 hours. Although the floor will be touch dry after a few hours, it takes a few days to cure properly.
Benefits of Epoxy floors for garages
For example, if you use a degreaser to remove grease, you need to ensure that all traces have been removed once the chemicals have done their job. You will need to do this by hosing down the area and allowing to dry. Any traces of the degreaser in the concrete can reduce the bond with the epoxy.
