Hi folks. My concrete garage floor is 17 years old and heavily stained, mostly from oil-based finishes, solvents, paint, and heaven knows what else. The floor also has some lengthy cracks that I have filled over the years. I would like to refinish or cover the floor and would appreciate your thoughts.
The garage is packed tight with heavy woodworking equipment, workbenches, and lumber. Emptying the entire space for a thorough cleaning and etching will be challenging. I could do one bay at a time, but the thought of having to re-do this every few years is undesirable.
Anyone have experience using rolled goods on their garage floors? The cost seems high, but if the surface is durable and there is little or no surface prep required, maybe the upfront cost balances out over time if I don't have to refinish the floor every few years. My garage has 3 bays: 2 for woodworking stuff and 1 for my wife's car.
Any other ideas for a low-maintenance garage floor?
Thanks for any feedback and ideas.
