Beautiful Garage Epoxy Flooring That's DIY Easy!

ARMORGARAGE EPOXY FLOORING VERSUS BIG BOX GARAGE EPOXY

Watch and see the tremendous difference between our garage floor epoxy coating and your typical off the shelf garage floor epoxy coating. Not only is the appearance dramatically different you'll see that only after a few months the off the shelf epoxy looks worse than our 16 year old floor!

They're all-inclusive and include our proprietary 100% military-grade epoxy, industrial-grade urethane-based epoxy clear topcoat (with a best in class Military Grade option available), 6-18 lbs of multi-color flakes, spike soles,etching powder, application squeegee, epoxy rated rollers, mixers, non-slip additive, easy-to-follow detailed instructions, unlimited phone and email support, and FREE SHIPPING!

These are not water-based or low solids thin build type epoxies; they should only be considered as primers and never as your primary floor coating! Armor Chip & Armor Granite are professional garage epoxy floor systems packaged with clear instructions that anyone can apply to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results. 
 
If you prefer not to install it yourself, simply have your local painter or handyman do it for you! We work with customer installers every day and find that handymen and local painters often do the best job.

Armor Chip & Armor Granite are impervious to vehicle fluids, road salts, hot tires, mold, mildew, and yellowing. All our epoxy floor coatings are engineered to outlast and outshine the competition! With our Military Grade Topcoat option, Armor Chip & Armor Granite boast an industry-best 4 mg abrasion loss rating (Durability Rating where the lower the number, the better). This means your floor can withstand any size vehicle or tire and you can use floor jacks, jack stands, and rolling 1500lb tool chests with no effect on the finish! Compare this to the competition's durability ratings, if they even have one, and you'll see theirs are much higher, meaning their coating will wear off much sooner than you ever thought.

Getting an epoxy floor coating like those in our customer photos is one part of the job. Having it last and look good for 15-20 years is the other part. See the image of John and Eric's floor below for proof!

 

"Hey Jim, Eric Pfieffer here from Miami. Thought you would find this picture interesting! You sold me the Armor Chip garage flooring kit (floor on the right) with the standard topcoat and my friend John did his floor with an epoxy kit from the local big box store to save some money (floor on the left). Both floors looked similar, but that didn't last more than a year, and the difference now is amazing! My floor still looks good and cleans up real easy, but it's getting to the point where it could use a freshening. I'm going to use the Military Topcoat to give it that new look again after a light sanding to rough it up. John was told he needs to do a complete diamond grind on his spot! I'm figuring the military topcoat will give me a finish I'll never have to redo, judging by how long the standard topcoat lasted, which is now going on over 10 years. Speak to you soon (so will John!) and thanks for a fantastic product!"

Armor Chip garage floor epoxy is 20 Mils thick, with 6lbs of color flakes,   two coats of clear urethane epoxy topcoat. Armor Granite garage floor epoxy is 25 mils thick, comes with 18 lbs of flakes for a realistic granite look, spiked soles, and four coats of clear urethane fortified epoxy topcoat.

ArmorGarage epoxy floor coatings cannot be compared to standard off-the-shelf type epoxies that routinely fail prematurely.

The key to longevity for epoxy garage floor paint is prepping your floor correctly and using the highest quality epoxy and topcoat you can buy. It's always cheaper in the long run!

We're not sure what better proof you could ask for than the picture and testimonial to the left that ArmorGarage epoxy floors are superior. Our epoxy and flakes remain unscathed while our standard clear topcoat shows some cosmetic signs of wear from twisting tires in a tight space after 10 years. All Eric needs to do to bring his floor back to new is a light sanding and roll on a coat of the military grade clear topcoat for another 15-20 years of service. John has to do a complete diamond grind plus difficult oil stain removals after having to live with an ugly and a completely failed floor after barely a year.

We receive calls from customers like John every day. Unlike redoing a room with a gallon of relatively inexpensive semi gloss, redoing your floor is not as easy, especially the part where you have to take everything out of your garage. Once you put down a coating that fails, it's pretty much a nightmare depending on how bad a product you've used. We're here to help you avoid that problem with our products and the knowledge we've gained through years of experience. We strongly recommend you read the actual product pages for all the information on each of the Tabs.

Low priced epoxy kits are usually thin water-based or low-grade low solids based epoxies with either an inferior topcoat or none at all. They never yield their advertised coverage and require multiple kit purchase to properly hide the concrete, and last only a fraction as long as an ArmorGarage floor. Are you really saving money if the bargain epoxy you bought doesn't fully hide the concrete and requires you to buy more material and do additional coats? Now you will be spending double and triple the time and money to do it right.

Some kits come with as little as 10 ozs of chips that give your floor the freckle effect rather than a finish that looks like it was professionally done. Even the worst looking floors come out looking like a showroom finish with ArmorGarage Epoxy floor kits as you can see in the images below. This floor was done by Alan in Denver. His floor was a mess when he started with road salt damage and oil stains but even though he never did anything like this before, his floor turned out beautifully. He left the control joints unfilled as we always recommend, they add a sort of dimension to the floor and makes it look like large slabs of granite. He used medium gray with military topcoat with black, white and primary blue flake. Here are a couple of great examples:

Before you buy any garage epoxy floor coating, be sure to read our How To Epoxy Paint Your Floor page on what and what not to do so you end up with a beautiful floor that lasts! We recommend using a primer even though it's not required it's a very good idea to prime your floor as you would if you were painting your house, car or other porous surfaces. This ensures the highest level of adhesion, increases coverage of the epoxy by up to 25%, and increases the thickness of your floor to a whopping 25-30 mils thick.

Remember the best prepped floor is of no value if an inferior epoxy paint coating is applied to it, and the best epoxy paint coating is of no value if applied to a poorly prepped floor!

Important things to know about Garage Flooring Epoxy

It's important to know are that you have to have an epoxy finish that has a polyurethane topcoat with a maximum of a 20mg abrasion loss rating or lower. 20mg is for your average garage owner that pulls their cars in and out and has the standard items you find in most garages. 

 

For garages that have vehicles with nonstandard tires such as off road tires, racing tires, golf carts, tractors or trailers then you need a topcoat with 10mg or lower abrasion rating. Same goes for garages that are used as workshops with lots of rolling items such as jacks, tool chests or machinery.

We offer a military grade topcoat with a best in class 4mg loss rating. this offers you a super hard finish that can handle anything you put in your garage or anything you do on your garage floor. Coatings with ratings higher than 20mgs offer very little wear protection.

Every time you drive your car on it, every time you walk on it, every time you roll something on it abrasion occurs. This abrasion can wear through low quality epoxies and topcoats very very quickly! So even though your epoxy is still stuck to your floor, you're stuck with a poor looking floor that is not covered under any guarantee!

If you are not diamond grinding or renting the Floor Prep Machine from Home Depot you must acid etch the floor. In fact if your floor is very dirty or is new concrete or was power troweled you need to do two etchings. A power washing is also recommended.

We get asked about doing full coverage of color flakes. This is not a good idea if you're not a professional. It's very difficult to get that amount of flakes to lay evenly and uniformly. More often then not the floor will look lumpy and unbalanced color wise. You need to have an extra thick epoxy to handle 75- 100lbs of chips otherwise you will have delamination issues in the future. We know, we've seen it happen many times from customers who were not aware how difficult it was to do and did not use the right epoxy. Plus you need double the topcoat to fill in all the nooks and crannies. If you like the heavy flake look use our Armor Granite kit it gives you close to 90-95% coverage and always comes out perfect.
