Your Garage Floor Guys

We get asked this question regularly. There are some internet-based sellers who claim that you don’t need to put on a clear topcoat over their epoxy. We disagree. They say this to reduce the price of their product.

The real answer is that a clear topcoat is required.

There are two reasons most DIY garage floors fail:
1. Improper or inadequate floor preparation
2. No topcoat

There are several good top coat materials. But they will all be some sort of urethane or polyurea. These materials seal the floor system and keep the floor material safe from hot tires, chemicals, or most any other environmental factor. Why do you think that the car manufacturers ALWAYS clear coat new automobiles?

Don’t be misled by some company’s statements that a clear topcoat is never required. Don’t cheap out here. The few extra dollars it takes to apply a good topcoat will insure your enjoyment of that new floor for years to come.
