Airehead Posted October 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2018 Mr. Aire is having a birthday. Would epoxy coating on the new garage floor be a good gift? He loves his garage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedalphile Posted October 7, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 7, 2018 Do Quick Step do it? And just think, he’ll be walking all over your gift every time he goes in his garage. You’re a good giver if you do this, truly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted October 7, 2018 I like the idea because there is nothing to wrap. It looks clean. Just looked at our 30 year old concrete and it is showing some wear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted October 7, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 7, 2018 I don't know what epoxy on a floor looks like or what it does, but this sounds like a fun little splurge that would bring small happiness each day for a long time. so it sounds very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted October 7, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 7, 2018 My neighbor did it and he loves the result. He's a tinkerer and a neat freak so it suits him. Another neighbor put down these rubber squares and it turned out nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted October 8, 2018 Share #16 Posted October 8, 2018 Epoxy floors are great......so long as the concrete is done settling and won't crack. I don't know if new construction concrete has to age a bit before the floor goes on,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted October 8, 2018 Share #19 Posted October 8, 2018 I did mine myself with the kit from Lowe's. New floor, Etched it with muriatic first, rinsed & let it dry. Easy-peasy. 11 years later it still looks very good. PSA: don't install it in August in Atlanta. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted October 8, 2018 Share #25 Posted October 8, 2018 Ima guessing that Mr. Aire is not into big surprises. Maybe start on paper to make sure all systems are go before pulling the trigger. But then what do I know? I like skunk cabbage! (Not really, just said for attempted comedic effect.)
