Garage Floors

Are you looking for garage floors? Potomac Garage Solutions has been offering a wide variety of floor solutions in Maryland and Washington DC areas, for both residential and commercial applications, since 2003. 

The floor you choose for the garage space decides a lot of things about the space. The use of the space, location, and look are some factors that decide the type of flooring that goes into the garage. Before we go into the different garage flooring options, let us see why you should consider garage flooring.

Purpose of Garage flooring

●   Protection of the concrete floor beneath from fuel or other fluids leaking out of vehicles

    is important. These fluids can damage the hard floor or make it unsafe for movement. 

●  If the garage has a nice ceiling and walls already, flooring will increase the space you can use in addition to your rooms. 

●  Moisture might be an issue in many garages. Appropriate flooring helps to keep the garage dry and suitable for use.

●  Flooring improves the look of the garage and can efficiently cover up cracks or unpleasant stains. 

Types of garage flooring

The flooring of the garage is available for both residential and commercial buildings. In each, the options available are different based on the requirement. 

Residential Garage Flooring

The most popular type of flooring for residential garages are polyurethane coating and tiles. 

●        Polyurethane floor coating

It is a highly flexible as well as an elastic coating for the floor. As compared to epoxy flooring, polyurethane is softer. The polyurethane coating has excellent resistance to scratches or other damages. 

●        Interlocked tiles

These are smartly built to cover up the entire concrete floor in the garage and gives a whole new look. The tiles are resistant to chemicals and can tolerate heavyweight use in garages. They are optimal for covering uneven concrete floors.

Commercial Garage Flooring

Commercial garages are places of heavy machinery work. Durability is important as the number of vehicles is much more than residential garages. The common materials are epoxy, polyurethane, and concrete.  

●        Epoxy floor coating

Epoxy is a tough material that lasts for many years. It is composed of epoxide resin and certain hardening materials. It is hard and gives a metallic polish to the floor. It is cost-effective, looks good, and can be cleaned easily.
