Tips to Prevent Garage Floor Epoxy from Peeling

Epoxy flooring provides the benefits of durability, affordability, easy maintenance, and exceptional visual appeal. It can transform the look of a garage floor, giving it a beautiful glow. Epoxy floor coating provides concrete crucial protection against oil, water, and various types of stains. Concrete without epoxy coating is likely to suffer deterioration that is preventable. Although epoxy floor coating enhances the aesthetic appeal of concrete surfaces, it is susceptible to peeling after many years of use. At Garage Floor Coating of MN, we offer exceptional quality garage floor epoxy flooring solutions designed to provide durable, long-term surface protection.

Here are some ways to prevent epoxy floor coating on your garage floor from peeling:

1. Routinely Clean Your Epoxy Floor

It is important to clean your epoxy floor routinely – preferably once a week using a soft-bristled brush or dust mop to prevent scratching. Also, clean any floor construction joints on a monthly basis – this can be done quickly with a vacuum and hose attachment. If spills occur, clean those up quickly also.

2. Prevent Moisture Accumulation

Moisture in contact with epoxy flooring can lead to peeling. Once the floor has been washed, it should be allowed to dry for a minimum of 24 hours prior to the application of new resin. When epoxy contacts water, hydrostatic pressure develops. As a result of moisture accumulation and pressure, the epoxy flooring may sustain damage.

3. Repair Damages Quickly

Despite the durability of epoxy flooring, and efforts to maintain it weekly and monthly, it can suffer damage. It is important to quickly repair minor damage to epoxy flooring, including minor cracking. This will help prevent additional and greater damage. If small damages are left unfixed, even down to scratches and small cracks, they can spread to other areas of the floor.

4. Add Floor Mats

Placing floor mats at the entranceways of areas can help prevent the accumulation of dirt, mud, and other debris on the garage epoxy flooring.
