Protect Indoor Concrete Surfaces with Garage Floor Epoxy
Protect garages, basements and other interior concrete surfaces with a garage floor coating that gives a tough, durable finish and protects against damage and stains. Lowe’s carries different coating types, including garage floor paint, garage floor polycuramine, garage floor epoxy and garage floor primer, some with skid-resistant, stain-resistant and other features. You can also shop brands such as Rust-Oleum, Seal-Krete, Armorpoxy, DRYLOK and Rust Bullet.
Garage floor paint is a more cost-effective way to spruce up your garage floor while still giving it a layer of protection. With an assortment of colors available, it’s easier to create a customized look for the space.
Epoxy coated floors offer more durability over paint. Garage floors with this coating are easy to clean and resist peeling and cracking, damage or stains from hot tire pickup, salt, oil, gasoline and harsh chemicals. Epoxy flooring can also be customized by adding decorative flakes or chips.
A professional strength polycuramine coating is 20 times stronger than epoxy and creates a durable, rock-solid coating. Polycuramine has almost no volatile organic compounds (VOC) and its low odor makes it ideal for indoor use, especially for areas like basements.
You’ll typically find that most garage floor coatings have a gloss sheen, but other options are available, such as satin, if you’re looking for something with less shine. Depending on your needs, you can also find 1-part epoxy paints and 2-part epoxy paints. Generally, epoxy garage floor paint is 1-part epoxy paint. One-part epoxy paints aren’t as durable and may be better suited to workshops or garages where you won’t park cars. If you use your garage for vehicles or the space is exposed to things like harsh chemicals, go with a 2-part epoxy paint.
Be sure to prepare concrete floors properly before painting for a heavy-duty and long-lasting finish. You'll love how easily our professional-quality garage floor paint can be applied with a roller or paint sprayer. With the right cleanup tools and a little elbow grease, your garage will be vehicle ready in 24 hours.
