Floor Epoxy
Epoxy floor coatings are different from paint although both are applied in the same way using paint rollers or paint brushes. They differ in the materials with which they are made and in their outcomes for your garage floor.
Paint hardens as its solvent evaporates but epoxy coating hardens through a chemical reaction between a resin and a catalyst. Floor epoxy is durable and attractive and creates a garage coating that's aesthetic making your space shine colorfully and lasting as long as you would like.
