There are many concrete floor paints out there but an epoxy floor coating is the best choice for hard working garage floors. An epoxy floor coating will not only make your garage floor look beautiful, it will protect your concrete with one of the most durable and long-lasting coatings available.

The formula is comprised of two parts, a polyamine hardener and epoxy resin, and these are combined immediately prior to use. Great care must be taken to prepare the concrete surface before application. The floor should be completely clean and dry before application.

Rust-Oleum EPOXYSHIELD® Garage Floor Coating Kit applies in one easy coat and protects against gasoline, antifreeze, motor oil, salt, hot tire pick-up and cracking. Each kit covers 250 sq. ft. and is available in Grey or Tan. For best results, top coat with Rust-Oleum Premium Clear Coating for ultra protection and a high-gloss finish.

There’s no denying that a garage door opener allows coming and going from your garage very easy.

Today’s openers have the option of being monitored by a smart phone so you can create permissions and allow temporary access. Other modern features include integrated cameras with 2-way audio, battery back-up and space-saving wall mount models.

When shopping for a garage door opener, there are specific factors to take into account. Openers are available in different weight capacities and drive styles, the most popular being belt-drive and chain-drive.

You’ll also need a model with adequate horsepower to operate your garage door and there are three options, 1/2-HP, 3/4-HP and 1-HP. The standard and most popular being 1/2-HP.

Garages tend to be darker than other areas of your home because they typically don’t have many windows to let in natural light. The amount of light you need for your garage depends on the size of the space, if there are natural light sources and what you will be using your garage for.

A garage that is used mostly for storage should be fine with simple overhead lighting. The more you use your garage, the more you’ll want a well-lit space. LED wrap lights mounted flush to the ceiling provide bright light for a large space without using a lot of energy. Their low-profile design keeps them out of the way of ladders, boards, or other large items you may be moving. They are available in assorted lengths.

Task lighting in the form of portable work lights are handy to direct light to a particular area for more detail-oriented work.
