I don't see any joints so it must be polished concrete.

My garage is a working one (woodwork or car work) so I also went with polyaspartic and the pics are after 7 years of good use. It has held up well; I use an old Dyson to clean regularly and power wash a few times a year and that has worked well.

I love how so many folks have clean garage walls. You cannot really tell but I have used up about 80% of my wall real estate to hang crap.

Mine is poly as well. I cannot stand walls full of crap - clean modern look is key for overall aesthetic.

Agree 1,000% I have a 4 car garage and I evidently have just too many cars and too much "stuff". I have tried to cleanse, but it's still full. I have a garage cabinet project in my future which will help keep it clean and organized.....but until then....

Not totally finished. But very happy where it is going. Waiting on wall cabinets Nov/Dec. Then hangs some stuff on the walls.

It was a long process , whole week but mostly due to prepping / grinding the surface & curing time between coats.


Did Garage Living do yours? Looks like the same colour as mine. That's a great price for the size of your garage! Looks awesome.

Just had mine finished by Garage Living in DC. They have a great product and do the job right from grinding all the surfaces, filling cracks etc. The multiple step epoxy coating should perform well and it comes with a 15yr guarantee..
Color on this installation is Harbor Blue. Installation performed by the Garage Living Team in Dulles VA. Paul and his crew are true professionals.

Thoughts around the moisture getting trapped over the period of time under swisstrax or racedeck tiles?

if something spills underneath the tiles (oil, sticky stuff etc), how do you access to clean it?

Building house with 4 car garage and with 2 bendpak lifts (total 6 cars) and looking for best floor solution…

I like my bubbling and delaminating paint that the previous owner did on my tear-down house that I keep because the land under it is appreciating so rapidly that I kiss it every day.

I had this happen when using layover tiles before. Any moisture/oil will be trapped, hence why I went with polished concrete. I had mildew issues using tiles.

Polished Concrete: No moisture issues and a quick and simple clean up, plus I think it looks great. Pricing is cheaper than a proper epoxy coating. Chemical hardeners are applied during polishing to harden concrete further.

Mine was done by Diamond epoxy , a company who works in Ontario & Quebec.

My flake is called Domiino flakes. Loving the easy to clean surface now.
