In a garage bare concrete dusts, soaks up oil and gets dirty from wet tyres in winter; epoxy solves all three in one system.
Three problems with bare concrete
Garage concrete dusts over time, absorbs dripping engine oil into permanent stains and draws in mud from wet winter tyres. This dust is carried into the house and onto the car.
How epoxy helps
A sealed epoxy coating stops dusting, keeps oil and mud on the surface and cleans easily with a mop.
Hot tyre marks
Hot tyres after a long drive can mark some thin coatings. Choose a system of adequate thickness that resists this effect.
Slip resistance
Wet tyres and winter mud can make the floor slippery; a light texture improves safety.
Workshop and hobby space
For garages used as workshops, a light floor reflects light and makes dropped small parts easy to find.
