Why Invest in Garage Floor Coatings

By Jennifer Johnson, Garage Innovations - Tulsa

Your garage floor is probably the most abused floor in your home, but it is also probably the least likely to receive proper cleaning and repair. However, updating your garage flooring has more benefits than just giving the space an updated look. These are reasons you may choose to invest in new flooring from GARAGE INNOVATIONS.


It Enhances the Look of Your Garage

New garage flooring will make your garage look great. Epoxy coatings hide previous stains and damage, and they typically resist new stains, chemicals, and scratches.


In addition, you can choose flooring in a variety of colors, textures and styles. Do you admire the old checkerboard patterned flooring? You may have that option. Would you prefer a more streamlined, stone or solid color look? These are options as well. You can add livable space or a new workshop


It Repairs Cement Damage

These products can even cover cracks, peeling or other flaws in your concrete floor. Instead of filling in the damages, epoxy fillings actually seal your garage floor so the damage doesn’t expand. This protection is due to the installation process. Before your flooring contractor starts to apply the epoxy flooring, the floor is ground with a giant diamond bit sander. This removes all previous coatings and damage and allows deeper penetration of the epoxy finish, which is allowed to cure after its application.


It Is Durable

Epoxy flooring's impact resistance prevents future cement damage. Epoxy flooring won’t lift and peel like paint. Whereas paint can look patchy over time, your epoxy is bonded to your cement flooring, so it won’t develop wear spots that can become unattractive and dangerous.


Your epoxy is also easy to clean because of its resistance to many of the impurities you and your vehicle bring into your garage. For example, it is resistant to dirt, grime, moisture and many chemicals. These materials do not penetrate the epoxy, so they can be easily removed, leaving the floor clean and unstained.

How Storage Cabinets Make a Garage Safer and More Convenient

By Jennifer Johnson, Garage Innovations - Tulsa Garages are a great place to store items such as tools and equipment, but they can quickly become disorganized and without proper storage systems. Good garage storage cabinets can help make it easier to safely store items so that they are easy to find when you need them. Convenient SystemsDepending on the size of your garage, the usable space for storage may be very limited. You will likely need to leave the majority of the area open to provide proper clearance to park a vehicle inside. Sturdy garage storage cabinets that are attached to the walls can provide much more space than may have previously been available.  Good cabinets can turn a messy, cluttered garage into a space that is neat and organized, providing easy access to things that may otherwise have been buried beneath boxes or piles of items. Safe StorageSince garages are often the storage area of choice for sharp, heavy, and dirty items, safety should always be a concern for garage storage cabinets. Storage in your garage should be durable enough to store heavy items without the risk of the cabinets toppling over or breaking. Heavy-duty garage storage cabinets can be a great option for tools and similar items. You can supplement them with more standard cabinets to store lighter or more fragile options that you simply don’t have room for inside your home. In addition to protecting you and your vehicle as you move about through your garage, good storage can also make your home less of a target for theft. Valuables that are stored out of site will not be as tempting to passersby who may otherwise try to take them. A good garage storage system can make your garage much safer and easier to use. You can consider using a combination of different types of storage to stay organized and protect your items from damage. Whichever you prefer, you can contact us at GARAGE INNOVATIONS for expert guidance.

How To Choose Interlocking Floor Tiles

By Jennifer Johnson, Garage Innovations - Tulsa If you’re looking for new floor tiles, your choice depends on the type of room you’re filling and what you plan to do with the floor. If you want interlocking floor tiles, your material choice depends on whether you want the tiles outside or inside and what the particular room will be used for. The following are the most common interlocking tiles.Carpet TilesCarpet tiles can be used anywhere. One common place to use carpet tile is on the patio near the outdoor pool. If you use tile floors near a pool, you run the risk of people slipping when they exit the pool. However, when you use carpet, you have a slip-free option. You may want to insert them higher than the ground not to have to worry about mold or mildew. Some homeowners also choose PVC pool tiles next to the pool. Interlocking floor tiles made from PVC tend to be slip-resistant and durable in high-traffic areas.Vinyl TilesVinyl interlocking tiles are easy to size and you can shape them how you need them for your floor. If you want outdoor tiles, vinyl may also be a great choice because it is moisture-resistant and slip-resistant. Vinyl tiles are also portable tiles. You can size them down and bring them with you when you go camping or when you travel. For example, if you have to use a public shower, you can place your tiles down.Foam TilesIf you have children, you may want to use foam tiles. Foam tiles are easy to clean up and safe for children to play on. You can use foam tiles in playrooms, basements, schools and more. In addition to being durable, foam floor tiles are also comfortable to sit and stand on. If you have to stand for long hours, doing so on foam tiles is more comfortable.When choosing interlocking floor tiles, you have to consider the type of room you need to fill and how durable you need the tiles. At GARAGE INNOVATIONS, our expert team is ready to help you make these decisions and then flawlessly execute your installation project.

How Epoxy Coatings Are Applied to Your Garage Flooring

By Jennifer Johnson, Garage Innovations - Tulsa Are you tired of looking at the worn, cracked, chipped and stained concrete of your garage floor? Like many others, you have probably considered applying an epoxy coating to your garage flooring, but you may have been unsure of the process. These are the steps professionals follow when they apply epoxy coatings.Choose a Product That Meets Your NeedsThe first step is to determine what you need and want. For example, what colors, styles or add-ins do you want? Your installer will also measure your garage to determine its square footage. If you want the epoxy to be applied slightly up the walls, let the contractor know. This ensures that enough of the epoxy coating is mixed and ready to apply to your whole floor at once.Prepare Your Garage FlooringThe next step is to prepare the concrete flooring of your garage. First, your existing coating, grease, dirt, chemicals or other contaminants need to be removed. Then, any holes, cracks or other damage needs to be patched and cured completely.Create a PlanThe next step is to determine a good day to apply the epoxy. Avoid rainy or snowy days. Also, your installer will plan the application method and process to ensure an exit from the garage is available when the epoxy is applied and curing. You also need to make arrangements for parking and avoid walking on your flooring until the epoxy is fully cured.Apply the EpoxyMost epoxy flooring comes in kits with instructions. A seasoned professional should have the knowledge necessary to apply two full coats uniformly. The product must be applied quickly, typically within two hours, after it is mixed, so be available to help where needed.A final coat of polyurethane or clear epoxy is added to increase the floor’s durability. Increase the safety of your floor by adding a nonslip additive to the clear coat.Increase the beauty, durability and safety of your garage flooring with a professionally applied epoxy coating from GARAGE INNOVATIONS.
