What is Epoxy Flooring?

You may have seen one of those satisfying “how to epoxy floor” videos on the internet. Your eyes were amazed at the shimmery, glitter epoxy floor coating that workers diligently spread across a garage floor.

This effect is made by mixing one part resin and one part hardener to spread across the floor. When these parts mix, it creates a chemical reaction that results in a hard plastic-like floor coat.

The way it hardens makes epoxy flooring very durable. Epoxy is also stain-resistant, which is why it’s so popular for garages.

You can use clear epoxy floor coating so that your original flooring shows through, or you can choose a colored epoxy to fit the look you’re going for.

Epoxy Garage Floor Cost

The cost of an epoxy garage floor varies a little. It depends on if you want to do it yourself or hire professionals to coat the floor for you.

According to Home Advisor, epoxy flooring materials will cost around $2 to $5 per square foot. Expect to pay $1 to $7 in labor costs per square foot.

Altogether, you’re looking at spending between $1,433 and $2,950 to get epoxy garage floors. If you do it yourself, you’re at the lower end of the estimation, and the higher end if you hire professionals.

Is it Worth the Cost?

While epoxy garage floors are durable, stain-resistant, and easy to clean, they also have some cons. Epoxy flooring can only be installed in certain temperatures, it fades in sunlight, and can form bubbles during its long dry time.

If you want your money’s worth, consider Garage Force floor coating for your garage. Essentially, Garage Force is stronger epoxy that can be installed quicker and at almost any temperature.

Unlike epoxy, Garage Force is resistant to ultraviolet rays and it’s less likely to form bubbles because of its quick dry time. It’s also unable to be scraped by heavy equipment, unlike epoxy flooring.

If you want more bang for your buck, consider Garage Force floors over epoxy garage floors.

Fabulous Floors

Now you can make an educated decision and get the garage floors you’ve been dreaming of.
