Depending on the services your garage offers, a floor can see extensive traffic every day from vehicles and the equipment you use, can require extensive maintenance, and could be susceptible to unattractive and expensive damage if the wrong material is in use. Selecting the right floor begins with understanding the requirements your garage has and what type of wear your floor may see on a daily basis.

How to Choose the Right Resinous Flooring for an Auto Garage A resinous coating is essential for commercial garages as a means to protect concrete floors.

One of those events is hot tire pickup. This is a potential issue in many garages. Overtime, it can cause extensive damage to your flooring. With high quality auto epoxy flooring for commercial garages and auto shops, you can ensure a longer lasting floor that is immune from hot tire pickup. What is Hot Tire Pickup? As a car drives, the rolling friction of the tires on the road causes the rubber to heat up. Heated rubber will expand slightly. Then, when the car pulls into your auto shop, the heat will dissipate into the air and the cooler garage floor. As the heat dissipates, the rubber shrinks and the weight of the car means that the tire rubber pulls at the floor with enough force to rip small particles completely free of the underlying surface. Certain garage flooring materials, like plain concrete or acrylic coatings, […]
