But let's not discount the available colors and finishes when it comes to choosing that perfect colored epoxy for your garage.
You are no longer limited to the institutional gray color of yesteryear, you now have the option of choosing from a wide variety of colors and textures.
Some common systems like epoxy color flake can be tailored and blended to create a wide variety of colors to choose from. The color flake system is created by broadcasting colored acrylic flakes onto a wet epoxy base coat and then subsequently sealing in the entire system with a clear epoxy or polyurethane. The color of the base coat and color flakes can be modified creating a wide variety of finishes and outcomes. It often looks similar to a granite floor finish.
If you think beauty and durability can't go hand in hand your wrong. Epoxy floors are notorious for being one of the best most durable floor finishes available. When a high quality epoxy system is installed on a properly prepared substrate it can last indefinitely. Of course it is dependent on traffic, abuse, maintenance, etc.
Epoxies have great chemical resistance, very high impact resistance, are durable and are low maintenance, even with all of these great qualities they also look great.
