Garage floor

8 years ago

We painted our garage floor and it is coming up. Does anyone know of any product that I can put over the paint that will not peel off?

Paint isn't resistant to hot tires, unlike an industrial-strength epoxy. We prepare every garage floor by removing the previous coating by diamond grinding it which allows for maximum adhesion from the concrete to the epoxy. We guarantee no hot-tire pickup or peeling for life. Everything you need to know is at granitegaragefloors.com and at our Houzz page.

I think you need to consult with an Architect and a builder for a project with your requirements. I think for anyone to try to make any suggestions you need to provide photographs of the project. Marie Meko

Please forgive my comments if they are not applicable as it is difficult to read the plans from my computer and I am unable to enlarge them. I live in America so I recognize the difference in cultures but just a few things you may want to consider: The kitchen appears to have windows that have a view to nothing significant, whereas if it was on the opposite side of the house, the views would be of the lovely garden. Also, the kitchen appears a distance from the garage, where the grocery/shopping items would be carried in from. I believe a better location would be somewhere closer to the garage with easier access to transport items. Another consideration is the idea we call a "Great Room"--whereby the kitchen is open & next to the living room. This is a beautiful layout conducive to ongoing conversation with guests & family members alike and much prefered to cooking in a room alone, separated from loved ones. Since the house is multiple levels, I would recommend placing the laundry room (washer/dryer) on the level with the most bedrooms. This allows for ease of accessibility vs. up/down multiple stairs to transport dirty/clean clothes. Best wishes to you! I think you are wise in soliciting suggestions/input now as there are many changes I still wish I would have made. :)

Does this village have any colonial features? The house has too much concrete and nothing to warm it up. Use natural wood hand-made railings...not painted. Balance the railings. Upper railings and lower railings are completely different. They should be taller...a meter high upstairs. Do you have to leave the upper columns by the bedrooms exposed? Bring the brick wall between them forward so the columns are inside the house. Divide the casement windows with 4 panes.

Generally you can do pretty much anything with a house if you have the time and money. with a limited budget it does limit what you can do especially for kitchen remodel costs. A kitchen renovation needs plumbing - where is it located in the garage now? Will you build your new kitchen etc on the existing concrete garage floor? If you build a new floor above the existing garage floor that may give you more options for remodeling. Let us know about these answers and we can try and give better advice. Also consider talking to a local kitchen contractor or kitchen cabinet shop - they may be able to answer many of your questions and you will want to talk with them eventually anyway for your project.

The concrete in the garage is poured differently from a home (living space = expensive moisture barrier; non-living space = cheap and without a vapour barrier). The paint is probably letting go because the moisture moving through the garage floor was never tested for nor treated (this is common with garages...no one thinks to test the concrete).

The paint probably would have worked had the slab's moisture been mitigated (way more money than most people want to spend on a floor). I agree with Rockin'. The paint needs to be removed, the concrete slab tested for moiture, the surface properly prepared (shot blasted), the moisture issues dealt with...and then a new finish added. To be clear, an epoxy coating (as mentioned by Granite Garage Floors) is often a 2-in-1 product. When the right product is used, it can act as both the moisture mitigation system AND the flooring product. You can skip a step...with the RIGHT product.

An epoxy expert can help you find what you need.
