Rough garage flooring

[mercifiknow]

So our house sold and we are building on a mountain. Will have a nice 3 car garage attached to house and will also be getting a detached garage.

My question is does anyone here want a “rough” floor?

I will probably have epoxy in the attached garage but am thinking about just a regular garage floor that gets dirty, oily, and messy. Here’s why: I had epoxy in the previous place and it was slick with my crutches. The new attached garage will be just for parking vehicles and detached will be for working on stuff.

I will have a 4 post lift and will be working underneath and wonder how slick it’ll be with a just a plain garage floor. Is it as slick as epoxy when you have spills?

Thoughts?

Epoxy is just the material, not the texture. There are anti slip additives to make it gritty.

**** plain old cement can be polished to the point that it is a dead wish to walk in it when wet.

You can use an aggressive antiskid in epoxy and it will have considerable more traction than concrete.

Hi, we carry a wide variety of non skid additives to add to all of our coating systems.

There is always a tradeoff between the texture, cleanability, and wear factors. Feel free to contact us below for a quote on the proper system for your usage.

Yes was looking at it but I wondered how well does it clean up and when your pull in and turn your tires does it remove the grit?

Unfortunately I had a big box store brand installed (not what I wanted mind you) and the flakes, after a years use, was gone. Had a gas tank leak and stained it. I suppose it was better than nothing but still not worth the premium I paid for it.

Hi, the grits we carry are industrial grade and will not be 'removed'. The normally get topcoated to protect them. Larger grit sizes over time the 'tops' of the particles can wear the topcoat off a bit, but that can be easily reapplied.
