Why You Should Care About Your Garage Floor
Caring about how the floor looks in your garage might not be on the top of your to-do list. But totally ignoring the state of this rooms flooring can lead to bigger problems you’ll want to avoid. Not only can a garage floor look good, but you can also protect it and enhance your home’s value when you give it some attention.
Here are a few things to think about when it comes to your garage floor.
Clean and Neat = Happy
If the motto, “a clean home is a happy home” is one you and your family like to follow, then a garage should be included in those neat and clean requirements too. After all, you’re likely passing through every day so you’ll have to visually see the clutter and dirt accumulating if it’s ignored. And then there’s the fact that you’ll be stepping through the dust and debris and possibly tracking it into the house too. If you add an epoxy coating to your garage floor you can get it looking clean and neat plus the thick hardened application is resistant to staining chipping and can easily be swept up and kept clean.
Keep Nasty Stains & Troublesome Cracks Away
Speaking of a dirty garage, those who actually use the space to work under the hood of the car or doing woodworking projects, for example, might think that leaving the bare concrete is the best option since you’ll be getting dirt on the floor and possibly using heavy tools that could drop. However, an epoxy sealer laid over the cement and finished in a number of different ways actually becomes repellent to chemical spills and stains and can stop cracking altogether.
Add Value to Your Home & Enhance Your Living Space
Finally, another great reason to care about your garage floor is that it can add value to your home. Whether you’re planning to sell in the future, want to ‘wow’ visitors or just enhance the beauty and stylings of your overall space, you can do it with polished concrete flooring. Some homeowners have even added a heating element to their garage spaces and turned them into fully functional rooms just like the rest of the home. The possibilities are endless.
