Garage Floor - DIY Epoxy Floor Kit from Rust-oleum
After our garage was built, I applied a floor coating from Rust-oleum as a DIY project. For a few hundred bucks, we had a nice, sealed floor. I never got around to posting these photos - they've been sitting as a draft for MONTHS - but with winter here and our garage floor covered in melted snow, salt residue and grim, it reminded me that (I hope) I'll be able to throw down a little pinesol mop away and then squeejee the moisture out the door and we'll have a perfect floor.
The process of actually applying this stuff is easy, but the prep is a pain. You have to etch your concrete - even brand new bare concrete - with an acid and get it spotless and dust free.
In order to get the chips down, I did one "square" at a time with each container covering 3 "squares". Since we have a 3 car garage, that meant two kits to get it done. You also have to cut-in the edges with a brush, but after that, it is just rolling out paint. Easy-peasy!

These are the chips you thrown down. Nat doesn't love them, but I like the effect they give.
Loveit...and the chips too! Gives it a good garage-like feel...
ReplyDeleteYour garage floor looks great! We love the chips. Thank you so much for using Rust-Oleum.
ReplyDeleteI agree. One of the finest types of floor coatings is the above mentioned protective coating being used for various residential and industrial floors. Thanks for sharing.
