Garage flooring has many selections of floor covering types when it comes to looking at what works best for you, consider the options. A concrete epoxy floor coating or a covering.
Coverings can include carpet tiles, vinyl tiles or matting, however more commonly you'll find a garage floor with a coating applied. Considering a garage floor endures oil, grease and rust stains it can easily be given a new lease of life with a concrete floor sealer, coating or paint.
To ensure longevity in your new floor coating a concrete epoxy coating is often recommended over paints or sealer.
