Garage Floor: 2-Part Epoxy

In Australia we can still use 2-part epoxy coatings, which is what we have used to coat our garage floor. Before applying the epoxy, the concrete floor was etched clean using sulphuric acid (H2SO4) diluted by adding the acid to the water. Protective gear is needed when messing with acid.

We used a light-grey colour epoxy. The big advantage of coating the floor becomes apparent when you have to keep it clean. It sweeps so easliy, and doesn't keep creating its own dust (like bare concrete does).
