There is no denying that painted garage floors are aesthetically pleasing and create a great view of your home. However, the beauty and benefits of painting your garage floor is far more than meets the eyes.
It’s a great way of updating your old and lifeless garage, and it also makes an excellent cover for cracks and other floor imperfections. Moreover, paints can also preserve the life of your garage floor for a few more years.
If you are yet to decide on investing on a garage floor painting project, consider the following reasons that will encourage you to do so.
1. It can brighten your garage space
Garages are usually among the darkest areas at home, and most people are blaming the ceiling lights for this matter without knowing that it’s really not the case. Unknown to many, it’s actually the floor that is causing the darkness as bare concrete absorbs lights.
Painting your garage floor is the best way to eliminate this problem. There is a great selection of colours that are known to reflect light and to have these colours on your garage floors are a great help in brightening your garage areas sans the need to install more lighting fixtures.
2. It can treat slippery garage floors
A lot of accidents that happen in garage areas are due to slippery floors when wet.
To avoid these accidents from happening, you should consider painting your garage floor.
Epoxy floor paints are among the most popular floor painting products as they are known for improving floor tractions. Thus, keeping you and everyone safe while working on the garage even when wearing wet shoes.
3. It produces and accumulates less dust
Bare concrete is among the largest producers of dust since it tends to break down and turns itself into dust after a period of time. So, it’s not a surprise if you end up cleaning your garage almost every day in the next few years if your garage floor isn’t painted.
The dust that concrete produce is super fine and can easily wind up anywhere. Worse, it can even spread in other areas of your house because it can hold on to everything, such as on your shoes when you get into the garage before going inside your home.
To avoid this dreadful scenario, have your garage floors painted with epoxy paints. This paint can seal your garage floors and will prevent dust from forming and winding up.
4.It can make your cleaning activity easy as pie
Cleaning your garage can be much easier if your floors are painted. Epoxy painting seals the concrete floor, making it impossible for stains from chemicals, oils, and other substances to penetrate.
Dust and litters also do not submerge into the paint so it will be easier for you to sweep and wipe them away.
With painted garage floors, cleaning your garage will not be very time and energy consuming.
With all the reasons stated above, we bet that you are now decided to have your garage floor painted. Feel free to contact us for help, and we guarantee you a top-notch service at a budget-friendly cost.
Use Industrial Resin Flooring for a Hazard-Free Environment
Slips and trips are two leading causes of accidents in a workplace. To prevent this from happening, it is crucial to have safety protocols that everyone must follow. Since most of these accidents are due to problematic flooring, you can significantly reduce workplace injuries by having slip-resistant flooring installed at your premises.
Floor Sleep Resistance
The HSE (Health & Safety Executives) tests and measures the flooring materials’ slip-resistance, from R-0 to R-13, with R-13 being the most slippery. The R-level requirements depend on various variables, such as the flooring’s water and chemical exposure.
Suppose your flooring has a high level of exposure to contaminants. In that case, you will need a higher R-rating to prevent accidents from happening.
How to make your floor slip-resistant
Modifying your property’s existing flooring might be necessary to achieve a high level of slip resistance. The goal is to make floors slightly coarser for shoes to grip even when there are contaminants. This can be achieved by installing special coatings, floor coatings, and other slip-resistant floorings.
Resin Floor Screeds
Resin screeds is a popular flooring choice for manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other similar areas with low liquid or chemical contamination risk. It is a mixture of resin and graded aggregates that make floors slip-resistant, lasting for seven to twelve years.
Multi-Layer Resin Floor
Another excellent idea for slip-resistant flooring is getting a multi-layer resin installed. This type of flooring is mostly found in buildings or areas where food hygiene rating is a requirement, such as kitchens, food processing plants, and more. The flooring’s easy to clean quality is perfect for any industrial property.
Heavy-Duty Screed Flooring
The heavy-duty screed is one of the toughest flooring materials you can install in industrial property. It uses the toughest aggregates for flooring systems that can last for over 12 years. This type of flooring is commonly used in distribution centres, pharmaceuticals, food and drink manufacturing plants, and other similar areas.
Resin Paints and Coatings
This slip-resistant material can be installed directly as flooring or as a coat on top of the old flooring. It creates a textured, slip-resistant surface and can be installed in a wide range of industrial areas, including warehouses, kitchens, and manufacturing plants.
