 Our partner’s notice: 

It’s not difficult to absorb liquids. Any good mat should cope with the task to keep this liquid inside it. Any mat should be able to keep the leak and keep it away from other items. This product perfectly copes with all these tasks. I use it under my power steering pump in the SUV. The leak is not big and not constant but this fluid can make the floor really slippery and also dangerous. I really like this mat on my floor, it also looks neat, not ugly.

By the way, this mat is light, and has good absorption functions. I will order it again. But I hope that I will not have any leaks any more. I can surely say that the mat does its task well. I am going to buy one for my friend who also has a leaking situation with his vehicle. It would be a great gift!

Garage Floor Epoxy Meaning

We would like to share some instructions how to select the best option of the floor epoxy for your garage. However, there are some confusion about this term, and we would like to clear it up at first.

Many people confuse epoxy with the paint, and think that it is the same. Well, it is not true. Epoxy is a type of resin that works with many applications just like insulting, bonding, sealing, and coating surfaces. Mixing epoxy resin with polyamine hardener results in epoxy coating. When one have applied this coating, it undergoes some curing procedure. Due to this, one will have a thick, glossy, and tough polymer finish. A chemical resistances and a mechanical strength of the coating surpass other coatings on the garage floor.

Looking for the proper epoxy, you may face various options such as epoxy paints, solids epoxy, 1 or 2-part epoxy systems, and others. What is the difference? What product will work better? Do they have the same properties? This little instruction will help to know all the details of the epoxy coatings, and select the best option.

 Our partner’s review: 

I haven’t used thing for long, so I cannt tell you how it lasts but I will say it in 6 months. It looks great. Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly before applying it, otherwise you may screw it up.

Advice:

  • You will really need big squeegees to clean your garage well (and they are not included). I recommend to take 2 pole-mountable squeegees.
  • The preparation times takes much efforts and time.
  • You have to clean the slab several times, otherwise you will ruin your surface.
  • There are a lot of plastic flakes.
  • Get two rollers for paint brushes.
  • All cracks on the floor must be done before painting. Epoxy will not hide even the smallest crack on the floor. Use concrete patching for these purposes. Make sure it is compatible with epoxy.
  • Get special sand for the use with epoxy. This sand will prevent slippery floor.
  • If your garage floor is very smooth, epoxy will be enough, some may be even left. If the floor is rough, it may be not enough.
