Other than being far too small, with narrow doors, our garage is great. We love the expansive wood cabinets, the large workbench, and especially the amazing lighting. But over time, the concrete has been getting dirty and deteriorated. In the winter months– and for much of the summer as well– we walk through the garage many times a day going between houses. We decided it was time to clean up the place.
We hired a crew to install new epoxy flooring. We’ve seen it in other homes, and it always looks spectacular. In addition to looking good, it feels nice (on my bare feet) and it’s really easy to clean.
This week they came over each day. On day one they used a diamond grinder to take off the top layer of concrete and rough up the surface, then on day two they poured a base coat of epoxy. Day three: atop that they sprinkled a gazillion little black, white, and grey ceramic flakes. Finally, on day four, they overlaid everything with a topcoat. This is what it looks like now:
We still have to wait about three days until it’s fully cured and can handle the weight of our cars, so for now we can only look at how pretty it is. Wow, what a difference!
