According to different needs and performance, the commonly used garage floor coatings on the market mainly include epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, acrylic coatings, rubber coatings and cement sealants.
Advantages of epoxy floor paint:
Strong wear resistance
Chemical corrosion resistance
Beautiful and diverse decorative effects
High strength and good pressure resistance
Good adhesion
Disadvantages of epoxy floor paint:
High requirements for construction environment
Not UV-resistant
Risk of warping and cracking
More complicated maintenance
Depending on the coating requirements and the protection needs of the metal surface, the dry film thickness of water-based metallic paint is usually between 25-80 microns. The recommended coating thickness for most standard products is around 50 microns.
Acrylic floor coatings are a type of coating based on acrylic resins, mainly used for floors with light to medium loads. Compared to epoxy floor coatings, acrylic coatings are easier to apply and have a faster drying time. Acrylic floor coatings have good weather and UV resistance.
Generally speaking, 1 gallon of epoxy floor paint can cover about 300 to 400 square feet at a standard thickness (about 8 mils, 1 mil equals 0.001 inches). Therefore, 5 gallons of epoxy floor paint can cover an area of about 1500 to 2000 square feet.
