Epoxy coating has been used as the standard for a tough, beautiful floor surface for many years. However, many people still confuse epoxy with paint. It is not surprising to hear someone make reference to “epoxy point”. In reality, epoxy and paint are totally different products with different chemical composition. Even if you could differentiate the two, choosing the best epoxy resin for your floor coating may still be hard. For this reason, below is some insight to help you choose the best epoxy coating for your garage floor.
For a tough, durable garage floor, two
part epoxy coating that do not contain solvent (100 percent solids) are the
best choice. This type of epoxy coating hardens through a chemical process leaving
behind a thick, hard and appealing surface. It may be a little more expensive
and a little more demanding to install than the options below, but 100 percent
epoxy coating is certainly a DIY- friendly project. An example of this product
is epoxy master.
The two-part solvent based epoxy
resins are good but not utterly great. They are water based and are therefore
easier to apply and clean up when compared to 100 percent solids epoxy
coatings. The major draw-back is that these products provide a thinner coating
which is not likely to last as long. Quikrete, Rust-Oleum and Behr are the most popular
epoxy coatings of this kind readily available at your home improvement store.
One-part Solvent-based epoxy coating
is not a true epoxy coating. A true
epoxy coating comes in two parts: the resin and the hardener. However, one-part
epoxy coating is pre-mixed. This may be convenient, but the product doesn’t
perform much better than paint. You can only choose this if you are not going
to use the garage frequently and/or is ready to do the floor
Epoxy coating is really effective when Best Epoxy Floor Coating is chosen. I would suggest that two part epoxy coating that do not contain solvent (100 percent solids) are the best choice for durable garage floor.
ReplyDeleteKaram, I totally agree with you. it may not be as easy to apply and clean-up as two part solvent based epoxy, but the durability is second to none...
