When you start doing large-scale home renovation projects, you have some key areas that immediately spring to mind. In many cases, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, or your basement get the first thoughts when making improvements to your home. If you decide to upgrade your garage by adding a tool bench, storage, or other ideas to utilize the space better, it might be time for homeowners on PA’s Main Line to consider painting their garage floors as well.
Protect Against Leakage
Garages are usually home to more than simply extra storage and a workbench. Many also house one or more vehicles, depending on the size of the space. As time passes, your cars will eventually leak oil and other fluids that help keep your car going.
While these leaks aren’t dangerous at the moment, if left unattended, they can cause damage to your floor and eventually lead to expensive repairs. By painting your garage floor, you provide it with an extra layer of protection from the potentially harmful substances that leak from your vehicles.
Improved Impact Resistance
There are many heavy objects in your garage that, if they fall or get knocked over, can cause significant damage to your floors. However, with the right application of paint and epoxy, you can provide your garage’s foundation with a degree of impact resistance to help mitigate some potential damage.
Cover Cracks in the Concrete
Concrete will crack and break apart naturally over time, and sometimes it’s even a flaw in how it was initially laid out. However, you can apply a coating of paint to your garage floor to help cover up some of those imperfections. While it won’t be a cure-all for any potential foundational issues, you can help boost the overall appearance of your garage and cover up some of the blemishes with a fresh coat of paint.
Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
The garage floor takes a beating throughout the year. Your car going in and out, the kids bringing in dirt from the yard, and even metal shavings from your workbench can put a significant toll on the garage floor. Instead of doing large-scale deep cleaning of your garage floor every few months, you can provide your floor with an extra layer of protection from dirt and grime while also creating a surface that is infinitely easier to clean.
When dirt, oil, and other stain-causing materials come into contact with epoxy, they essentially slide off. They are infinitely easier to clean since they are dirt, grime, moisture, and dust resistant.
Improve the Overall Lighting
Your garage can be a dark and dingy environment if you aren’t careful. Lighting can make a big difference in how a given space looks and feels. With the right kind of floor paint, your garage floor can help reflect light and brighten up the room.
