Epoxy Garage Flooring

[Biggriff]

Anybody recommend someone to sort out my garage floor with two part epoxy? Fed up with floor paint lifting.

You got oil contaminating the concrete?

[Biggriff]

No, its hot car tyres pulling it up.

Did mine myself about a year ago with 2 part epoxy. After plenty of 'reading up' I rang Regal Paints in the UK to ask their advice. One coat of primer and two coats of high build epoxy later and I couldn't be happier. Don't try to clean the roller/tray/brushes, just throw them away each time. Apply thin and give it a good week to dry between coats. Harley.

Was looking for a professional finish, but maybe it's easier to do it myself

A more expensive option but quite cool is this

All this chemical control really has ruined good old 2 part

Used to work with stuff that you mixed up and had to rush to get down on the floor before it went rock hard in the tub!

Went with the floor tiles. The Horsemat guys were very helpful and about half the price of everyone else. Will look the business when finished.

Please post up how it all goes and if they lock together well enough - was looking at epoxy but it means everything has to come out and then go back in again when dried
