Epoxy alternative on This Old House

[Badgerhawk]

I remember an episode from a few years back (I don't remember if TOH or ATOH) where Kevin observed a garage floor being painted. The contractor stated that it wasn't epoxy but was better. It was stated that it was more durable and easier to lay down. Does anyone remember this episode and what the material was?

Sounds a lot like the PPG stuff we use on the floor of our hangar. Good stuff.. It went on with a roller. I real paint can shaker is nearly manditory to get the two part mix done right.

For my home shop I will probably do the interlocking tiles however.

Thanks for the replies. I don't remember which house it was but I think it was during the 2004-2006 range of seasons I also remember that they ended up with a floor that looked like a deep amber/copper color with flakes.

I think it was a polyurethane product.
