When it comes to hardy surfaces like the garage, epoxy flooring does wonders for aesthetics and durability. A beautiful house is a goal for most homeowners, and everyone wants to put effort and resources into areas that will maximize this investment. At Deluxe Garages, our role is to install the desired flooring in a way that helps homeowners achieve this exact goal, and the options are endless.
What is the secret to choosing the right flooring for a home or parking garage? Professionals like Deluxe Garages recommend focusing on the quality of the material, the preferred style or texture, and the maintenance requirements. Price may also be a factor, and a material like epoxy checks all the boxes for affordability, durability, scratch-resistance, and customizable designs, even for high-traffic areas.

What is Epoxy Flooring?
An epoxy flooring system uses a combination of hardeners and resins to create a durable floor coating. It is a synthetic material that is:
- Extremely sturdy,
- Stable long-term, and
- Versatile in color, texture, and everything else
Our experts can apply epoxy to any surface, and it bonds well to almost any base layer. It is especially compatible with concrete, resulting in a hard-wearing and resistant surface that lasts for years. Epoxy remains one of the best types of coatings for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces, even as technology is changing.
Why Invest in Epoxy for the Garage?
Does the current garage floor look like it is falling apart? The floor paint is likely in poor condition or slippery and peppered with stains, cracks, and other potentially hazardous signs of damage. If a new garage floor seems like a luxury, why not consider some of the benefits that come with using a substance like epoxy for a whole new look?
Durability
Epoxy floors are well known for a long lifespan compared to garage floor paints and other coating solutions. Concrete is the only material that may last longer than epoxy, but bare concrete requires regular maintenance and proper sealing to look its best as the years go by. With epoxy floor coating, it is possible to cover the concrete floor, hide imperfections, and enjoy exceptionally durable floors that are easy to keep clean.
Resistance
Epoxy’s second amazing quality is its phenomenal resistance to spills. It is an ideal solution for a place that houses machinery or a car. Garage areas are particularly susceptible to oil, bleach, gasoline, transmission fluid, and chemical spills, and epoxy handles hot tire marks, high temperatures, and scratches well.
Endurance
The experts at Deluxe Garages install garage floors to stand the test of time. An epoxy coating can last for decades without peeling or cracking, which is why it is increasingly popular in residential garages, commercial parking spaces, and automotive showrooms. The coating can bear cleansers and chemical substances without adverse effects on the concrete or the overall look of the floor.
Versatility
Epoxy also comes in various colors, designs, and patterns for a fresh look and elegant shine. Choose from options like metallic epoxy or quartz for a unique look. We also personalize floors using flake chips in various colors and textures.
Safety
Epoxy floors are slip-, heat-, chemical-, and static-resistant. It is one of the most functional coatings in the industry and one of the safest. The shine also improves visibility by reflecting light in dark areas.
Convenience
Epoxy acts as a protective coating, preventing stains, moisture pooling, cracks, and grease. Garage epoxy saves a great deal on maintenance, cleaning costs, and floor repairs. It is also competitively priced for the protection it provides.
Easy Maintenance
Don’t worry about spilling substances on a new epoxy floor—the smooth and even surface is easy to clean and difficult to scratch. It is even possible to clear marks using a wet towel and some elbow grease.
Saves Time
If drying time is a factor in the installation decision, epoxy is a winning formula. It cures and dries out fast, so property owners can use the new garage shortly after application.
Prevents Concrete Dusting
Powdering or chalking of cement floors is called efflorescence and is common in high-traffic areas that do not have adequate sealing. An epoxy coating seals this concrete dust, and the garage will look great year-round.
