Have you ever walked into a garage and noticed unsightly stains and paint marks on the floor? Aesthetic issues like these can make even the nicest garages look worn down and dirty, since the flooring is one of the most impactful features in any large, open space. One of the best solutions you can make to improve the look of your garage area is to update the floor with a durable, gorgeous coating that resists damage and stays beautiful for decades.

There are many different garage floor coatings that you can choose from, and the best one will depend on your needs and budget for your project. In this article, our team at Rasmusen Painting and Concrete Coating will cover some of the most popular and durable floor coating systems on the market today to give you a better idea of what may work best for you.

Polyurea and Epoxy Coatings

Two of the most popular garage coatings of the past decade are polyurea and epoxy coatings. While both systems are similar in that they provide a highly durable, slip-resistant coating that's easy to maintain, these two systems differ in their durability and cost—as well as their application times and other factors. 

Both polyurea and epoxy coatings come in a wide variety of finish options to allow you to fully customize the look of your garage floor. While there are home systems available for those that want to try and coat their floors themselves, the products aren't as durable or high-quality as professional installations are. Higher-grade epoxy coatings aren't easy to apply, which is why they aren't available or recommended as a DIY project. For best results, it is best to hire a professional to apply a high-grade epoxy coating or polyurea coating for longer-lasting and better-looking results.

Concrete Stains

If you prefer the more natural look of concrete, staining your concrete can be a great option. Staining concrete involves deep cleaning your existing floor with an acid cleaning solution and using a chemical that stains the concrete a specific color. This brings out the natural earthy tones of the concrete, while adding a glossy shine. 

One specific drawback to this type of coating is that it can be quite slippery when wet.

Painted Concrete

If you are wanting a more budget-friendly option, you can simply paint the concrete to the specific color that you want. This is a popular route many take due to the low cost and the wide variety of color options available. It is one of the quickest ways to change the look of your garage and can always be changed by stripping or painting over the previous paint.

Snap-Together Tiles

Last but not least, you can use snap-together tiles to give your floor a totally new look. These tiles come in many different options and colors to make your garage floor look brand new. They are easy to assemble and can be ordered to match specific patterns that you choose to go within your garage.
