Epoxy flooring

[Mik]

Looks great. I'd love to do that but my garage floor concrete is kind of broken in a few places and I'm not going to replace it.

[George K]

Very nice. Easy to clean, I assume?

What happens if the concrete breaks underneath? Anything?

Do you hire out?

Epoxy flooring business are popping up everywhere. Nice to see capitalism in action.

Nothing? I’m going with nothing.

What are the little canisters at 11 o’clock?

Water filtration?

Why do you want epoxy flooring in the first place?

Why do you imagine anybody might want epoxy flooring in their garage?

So the blood is easier to clean up?

Very nice Horace. You’ll love it.
I got ours done in 2009. It was so easy to clean, durable for our weather. We had catastrophic structural events occurring above the garage, at its periphery, around the door and driveway in 2016 and disruption with that floor, e.g. teleposts for months prior & during the structural repair, water damage, tunnelling for the sump pump, masons, framers, others, all using the floor as a work space & storage. The floor coating now has some bald spots, but, in retrospect, I think that coating was protective!

I want that. How much was it per bay?

If I may be permitted to ask.

Do-it-yourself (DIY) epoxy application costs $2–$5* per square foot on average, while professional epoxy application ranges from $3–$12 per square foot, including materials and labor. An epoxy layer offers long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal for concrete surfaces at a fraction of the price of other flooring options.

Looks awesome. Would love to do that one day. I also want to put in some nice slatwall on the walls for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

[blondie]

@89th. I did slatwall in 2009 too. Awesome stuff. Durable. Takes paint well. Heavy to install. You’ll love it.

[blondie]

I did the same epoxy over concrete inside our house under the basement stairs and half way up the walls as an area for our 3 kitty litter boxes. I cleaned there often. Used mainly bleach. It still looks great.

@blondie Very cool, might be my Spring project
