Garage Floor Epoxy
Understanding garage floor epoxy may need to be clarified. Contrary to popular belief, it does not paint directly onto the flooring surface itself - instead, latex-acrylic paints with added epoxy have to be applied, and these latex paints are commonly known as epoxy as they contain some form of durability added for extra longevity - these latex-acrylic paints may or may not have actual epoxy for increased longevity - though many refer to them as such when discussing their application on floors.
Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer compound created from two parts - an epoxide hardener and polyamine resin - mixed as sealant and coating to the concrete surface.
Epoxy flooring cures much differently from paint in that a chemical reaction occurs instantly when two ingredients are mixed together, triggering an exothermic cure process and producing strong microscopic structures that make epoxy stronger than paint and more durable ever. With proper preparation, epoxy can adhere to virtually all surfaces.

What makes epoxy an excellent choice for garage flooring? Not only is epoxy beautiful, it is also highly durable. Hardened and thickened epoxy coatings make them resistant to chemicals and staining and chipping damage caused by dropped wrenches or bikes - no worries for you about damage from being dropped onto them!
Epoxy also covers up any imperfections or flaws in concrete floors due to its thicker application, protecting from imperfections that might exist and protecting from dust that can accumulate from concrete powder being tracked into your garage, onto vehicles, items stored there and tool benches, even inside your house. As an applied sealer it also serves to reduce dust accumulation on vehicles, items stored there and any tool benches as well as being tracked inside by vehicles moving across it.
Epoxy flooring also stands up well against moisture, making it perfect for Greater Vancouver. Road salts and icy brines that have collected on concrete over winter can be easily washed away with soapy warm water before any dust or debris settles on its surface once dry.
Some topcoats can be hazardous when applied to wet floors, so it is wise to avoid them during wetter seasons like summer. But for homeowners seeking extra grip they can add non-skid aggregate to the topcoat to create non-slippery walking surfaces that are safer to navigate.
