How to Epoxy a Garage Floor?

Epoxy garage floor coatings have become synonymous with durability, style, and long-term value. Whether protecting or enhancing the aesthetic of your garage, epoxy flooring offers an ideal solution. This guide outlines the full process and highlights the importance of expert installation.

Why Epoxy is Ideal for Garage Floors

Garage floors face daily wear and tear, from heavy vehicles to oil spills. Epoxy coatings provide a tough, sleek layer that protects and beautifies. Unlike standard floor paint, epoxy resists cracking, staining, and abrasion for decades when applied properly.

The ArmorGarage Process Behind Epoxy Garage Floors

Step 1: Proper Preparation is Key

Professionals inspect the concrete, repair damage, and acid etch or grind the surface to ensure adhesion. This step prevents common failures like peeling and bubbling.

Step 2: Applying the Epoxy Primer

ArmorGarage epoxies are self-priming, but applying an epoxy primer also seals the surface and helps extend the base coat coverage, increases adhesion, and adds another layer of protection.

Step 3: Mixing and Applying the Epoxy Base Coat

Measure out all Part As & Bs and mix well to ensure the hardener has combined with all the Part A. Do not mix all of an ArmorGarage epoxy at once. Our epoxy is pure military grade 100% solids, and unlike fake 100% solids or water-based epoxies, our epoxy sets up faster the more you mix. We recommend one gallon per person rolling and never leave more than a gallon in a pail at any one time.

Step 4: Adding Decorative Flakes or Finishes (Optional)

To enhance visual appeal, flakes or metallics may be added to the epoxy base coat.

Step 5: Sealing with a Clear Coat

The final clear layer called the topcoat protects the floor from abrasion wear, scratches, moisture, and UV exposure, while offering a high-gloss finish. Our topcoats are the best in the business offering the best abrasion resistance and glossiness. Our topcoats routinely go 15 years and more before needing a refresher coat.

Step 6: Allowing Proper Curing Time

Don’t be in a rush, allow the floor a couple of days before heavy traffic is put on it.  Once the floor is dry to the touch you can put stuff on it and walk on it but keep the heavy traffic off it for 48 hours if possible.
