Shop Floor Treatment

[Jace H.]

In the process of completing my dream shop. Modest by most standards but none the less a seperate shop from the house. I want to apply some kind of treatment to the floor before I move everything in there. What are the options and pros / cons?

Thanks,

Jace,

Suggest you search the archives for epoxy floor treatment. If the concrete is new, you save tremendous hours of preparation although there is prep required.

Jace -

If you'll drop in at www.garagejournal.com and go to the "Flooring" section, you'll find everything you ever wanted to know (good and bad) about all the various garage floor coating options.

Re: Shop Floor Treatment

I agree with the other posters. I am going to do an area with Sherwin Williams solvent based epoxy. The last shop that I did I used Ameron products with great success, but I do not have a local dealer anymore.

Thanks for the links John. I like the looks of that White / Blue interior 67 I see. As you know I have one just like it. You did a fine job judgint it at Park City.

Thanks again,
Jace

Re: Shop Floor Treatment

I am about to complete my garage addition build out and used Sherwin Williams epoxy and then put 2 coats of the clear top coat. Concret was fresh and has a heavy broom finish that will prevent skid. I am not a pro but was not that hard. We will see how long it lasts.
