What are the pitfalls of a DIY garage floor coating? Why is a polyaspartic floor applied by experts like the team at Hello Garage of Deer Park a better choice? Here\u2019s how DIY garage flooring solutions like epoxy and other do-it-yourself garage floor paints compare to expertly installed polyaspartic garage floor coatings.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Main Cons of DIY Garage Floor Coatings<\/h2><\/div>

Many DIY garage floor coatings, epoxy kits in particular, come with notable drawbacks. From lack of long-term durability to a difficult application process, here are some of the typical disadvantages homeowners encounter with a DIY epoxy coating.<\/p>\n<\/div>

DIY garage floor options lack long-term quality and durability<\/h3><\/div>

A DIY epoxy garage floor or floor painting often does not have the strength and hardiness of polyaspartic floor coatings installed by experts. Unlike polyaspartic, which is a long lasting and flexible surface, epoxy flooring is more prone to cracking, breaking and chemical damage \u2014 especially in high-traffic garages. Garage floor painting can easily flake off from foot traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>

DIY epoxy floor coatings are vulnerable to UV Damage<\/h3><\/div>

Unlike polyaspartic coatings, most DIY garage floor coatings are not UV stable. This means even the best DIY garage floor coating made from epoxy can discolor, yellow or deteriorate when exposed to sunlight \u2014 even light coming through garage windows or open doors.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Applying a DIY garage floor can be time consuming and complex<\/h3><\/div>

Unfortunately, DIY epoxy garage floor kits and other do-it-yourself coatings available for purchase typically end up requiring multiple coats with extended curing times in between, sometimes requiring several days to complete. Any mistake in blending or timing can mess up the entire project and lead to poor results. Our polyaspartic floors set quickly and are installed by professionals.<\/p>\n<\/div>

An epoxy floor requires thorough surface preparation.<\/h3><\/div>

For the best outcome, the concrete surface of a garage floor must be meticulously cleaned, dried and often sanded or acid-etched prior to installing an epoxy floor. This type of prep work is difficult and time intensive for homeowners who want to install DIY epoxy garage floor kits. At Hello Garage of Deer Park, we handle the preparation ourselves using specialized machinery.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fumes from DIY garage floor coatings may pose potential safety threats<\/h3><\/div>

Without protective equipment, fumes produced when putting in your own garage floor can be risky, especially in a poorly ventilated space. You can protect yourself and your family from this potentially dangerous situation by employing a professional garage floor coating company to do the installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
