Ever walked into a garage and thought, “Wow, this floor looks amazing!?? That’s probably epoxy flooring working its magic. But how does it actually happen? Let’s break it down in simple, human terms.
1. Grinding the Floor
First things first – we grind the concrete. No fancy cleaning, just grinding. This roughs up the surface so the epoxy can really grip. Think of it like giving your floor a good handshake before slapping on its superhero suit.
2. Fixing Cracks and Holes
Concrete isn’t perfect, and neither is your floor. Cracks and holes get patched so the surface is smooth, solid, and ready to hold the epoxy like a champ.
3. Laying Down a Primer
Next up: primer. It’s like the glue that keeps epoxy stuck tight to your concrete. This step makes sure your shiny new floor lasts and doesn’t peel over time.
4. Mixing the Epoxy
Epoxy comes in two parts: resin and hardener. Mix them together, and they start a chemical reaction that turns into a super-strong coating. Timing is everything you want it mixed just right.
Reclaim Your Garage Space
Deep cleaning and organisation to turn clutter into a functional, usable garage.
5. Spreading the Epoxy
Pour it out and roll it across the floor evenly. You can even add decorative flakes for a speckled, fun look that hides dirt and adds personality.
6. Let It Cure
After it’s spread, the epoxy gradually hardens into a glossy, chemical and scratch-resistant surface. It’s like watching your garage floor transform into its superhero form.
7. Optional Topcoat
Want extra shine and protection? A clear topcoat seals the deal, giving your garage that showroom-quality finish.
The Bottom Line
Epoxy isn’t just about looks it’s tough, low-maintenance, and makes your garage feel upgraded in every way. If you want a floor that’s as functional as it is beautiful, epoxy is your go to.
