If any readers have resurfaced a garage or interior floor with polyurea, I'd appreciate your thoughts (positive/negative) in the Comments. Thanks in advance.
Addendum: The garage floor was resurfaced. It looks 10X better, sweeps clean easily (after the winter I hose it down to wash out sand/salt drippings), and it is not slippery when wet. I'm writing this addendum 3 years later, and it's still just as great as when new. It's easily the best fixup we've ever done for the house.
my mom got her garage done in it some years ago. she loves it.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my high school.
ReplyDeleteSlippery when wet. If you've been driving in the slush, slow down before you enter the garage.
ReplyDeleteSlowing down before entering the garage is my general practice, regardless of where I have been driving previously ;-)
DeleteYou've been warned.
DeleteYou can ask that the top layer have grit mixed in to control the slipperiness.
DeleteNo experience personally but I asked my wife who is a realtor and she said when people fix up their garage it tells potential buyers that the owners care about their house and probably took good care of it too.
ReplyDeleteIf you go ahead and do it please post results here. I'm thinking along the same lines myself. I've done a lot of industrial floors with epoxy, but I've not seen this product. I'm curious about cost/sqft and installation difficulty.
ReplyDeleteWill do, Scott. But it won't be before end summer.
DeleteScott, I wrote an addendum to the post with some followup information. I'm delighted with the result. Cost will depend on your local contractor. The only difficulty for us was the need to totally empty the garage; our contractor provided us with a covered bin with a door in the driveway where we could store all the stuff for the several days it took to empty the garage, install the flooring, and let it dry.
DeletePatrons of bars in Austin, Texas have had enjoyed natural urea floor coverings for decades.
ReplyDeleteI'll see myself out...
