The purchase of flooring is an important choice to make for your home. Every type of flooring has its benefits and its drawbacks. However, seamless epoxy flooring provides numerous benefits.
Epoxy floor coating is a flooring surface made up of multiple layers of epoxy applied to the floor. Epoxy is made up of resins and hardeners. The resin and hardener are mixed together to chemically react. When the mixture hardens, it forms an extremely durable surface coating.

Epoxy can breathe new life into old floors and a great way to beautify new concrete floors that have a smooth, boring, or generic finish.

Epoxy floors come in a variety of colors and styles. There is also the option of adding color flakes and a clear coat, giving floors a showroom appearance. Materials used to make epoxy floors are stronger than concrete.
Coating used in seamless floors is UV resistant against rain and sunlight, designed to shine for years. Epoxy coating is very easy to clean and it does not pick up dust.

Because concrete is used in areas of the house with a lot of traffic like garages, walkways and patios, abrasion and pressure is prevalent which cause damage to the concrete floors. Pressure and abrasion accelerates the deterioration rate of your floors. Damage to your unsealed floors is also caused by a vast array of various chemicals and other substances which can be accidentally spilled on the floor at any time. By adding epoxy protection to your floors, they will become stunning high-gloss features to your property as well as being scratch-resistant, slip-resistant and serious protection from accident related insurance claims.
In addition, epoxy flooring makes concrete visually appealing and simple to clean. In terms of style and look, epoxy coated flooring is one of the best and fastest ways of giving that giant "lift" to the look of your floors. Epoxy gives floors a lustrous, glassy appearance which makes the whole area vibrantly stand out in terms of high-end aesthetic look and appeal. You can even choose the design of the epoxy to match the look you want to achieve in your area. Epoxy coating also minimizes the need to constantly clean the floors because epoxy repels and prevents spills and other contaminants from getting into the concrete. Your floors will always be in tip-top shape.

Epoxy floorings are floorings applied with layers of tough, long lasting coating called epoxy.  Epoxies are used to produce sparkling, clean and durable flooring. 
Also, it is applied to protect paint on the flooring from grease, oil and other substances.  However, not all floorings can hold epoxy coating.  So, before you apply epoxy on your flooring, you should assess first the condition of your concrete if it produces moisture or not.  Flooring that produces moisture usually destroy the ability of the epoxy to bond.  Hence, it is not suited for epoxy coating.   
Also, you must not apply epoxy coating if your flooring was applied with concrete sealer.  On the other hand, if you have a new slab, wait for at least a month for the flooring to be thoroughly dry prior to epoxy application.  And, if you have painted floors, the best option for you is to remove the old paint before applying any kind of epoxy.  In addition, you should also consider the air temperature in your garage.  For optimal epoxy drying, air temperature should be between 60 and 90 degrees with the minimum concrete temperature of 55 degrees F. 
The outcome of your epoxy flooring also depends on your planning and pre work.  Pre work involves oil spot removal, floor cleaning and degreasing, floor etching with mild acid, and floor scrubbing, vacuuming and rinsing.  If your floor has no cracks, you can immediately apply the first layer of epoxy.  However, if your floor has cracks, it is recommended that you fill the cracks first before applying the first layer of epoxy.  The second layer of epoxy is applied the day after. 
Another critical decision you should make is the type of epoxy you should use.  Epoxy floor coatings are tough resins, which are available into two separate parts.  There are three types of epoxy: 100 percent solids, solvent-based and water-based.  The first one mentioned on the list is almost pure epoxy.  It lacks solvent.  Hence, it is easily dried up and is difficult to handle. This kind of epoxy is better left to the experts. 
The solvent-based epoxy has 40-60 ratios, that is, 60 percent solid.  Experts usually prefer this type of epoxy because it penetrate and adheres well.  Also, solvent-based epoxies are available in a different range of colors.  However, solvent-based epoxies are too strong and might be hazardous. It is recommended that you use a properly fitted respirator while handling this type of epoxy.  Also, your garage should be well ventilated. 
Similar to solvent-based epoxy, water-based epoxies typically have 40-60 ratios.  The advantage of this type of epoxy is it is not hazardous and it is widely available.  Solvent-based and water-based epoxies should be applied in two coats to increase their durability and life span.  The price of all epoxies depends on the amount of epoxy in the mixture.     
Epoxy floorings are great for your garage floor.  It can handle car tracks, oils, grease, chemicals and scraping.  So, try having epoxy flooring and you will appreciate its benefits.
