Don’t Pay Too Much for Garage Renovations: Why Nature Stone is the Superior Option

Are you tired of your dull, concrete garage floor? Do you want a sleek, modern look that is also durable and easy to maintain?

If you answered yes and are considering garage renovations, you’ve probably come across websites touting polyaspartic epoxy coatings as the next best thing on the market. They make a convincing case, too.

However, these websites are misleading and leave out a lot of information you need to know before making a decision.

Polyaspartic epoxy coatings have become a popular choice for garage floors because they are marketed as a quick and easy solution. However, they come with many hidden costs, such as extra prep work and maintenance, and future repairs due to how easily they are damaged. Also, inexperienced contractors often charge extra for surface preparation, such as grinding and cleaning, which can unexpectedly add hundreds of dollars to the cost. Additionally, these coatings require regular reapplication to maintain their appearance, which also translates to more expenses in the long run.

Cost isn’t the only issue, either. Whether you are building a new garage or renovating an existing one, one of the most significant decisions you will make is choosing the best flooring for your needs. Before you jump on the polyaspartic epoxy bandwagon, you need to know some vital reasons why this is not a good option for your garage.

1. Short Life Span

Polyaspartic epoxy floors have a short lifespan compared to other types of garage floors. In fact, they can last for as few as 3 to 5 years. After that, the floor will show clear signs of wear and tear. Even worse, if there is damage – and that isn’t unusual – replacing it can be costly.

2. Poor Resistance to Heat

A garage is a place where you will likely store your vehicle, tools, and other equipment. Unfortunately, polyaspartic epoxy does not have effective resistance to the heat commonly found in workshops and storage spaces like this. In fact, this heat can cause these floors to delaminate, bubble, or crack, quickly accelerating its deterioration.

3. Slipperiness

These floors are dangerously slippery when exposed to dampness and moisture. This poses a significant safety risk to you and your family, especially in garages, which often have rain and snow tracked in from outside. These safety concerns make this type of flooring a poor choice for garages.

4. Inadequate UV Resistance

Ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage your garage floor, making it fade or yellow over time. Unfortunately, polyaspartic epoxy floors might be trendy, but they are not UV resistant, which means faster aging every time you open that garage door.

5. High Cost

As we have already discussed, despite the hard sales pushes to the contrary, polyaspartic epoxy flooring is one of the most expensive options out there today. The labor costs and hidden fees add up quickly, making them a surprising burden on the wallet. If you want to save money over the long term, look elsewhere.
