When it comes to your home, you probably have many projects that you'd like to be working on. Some may cost money, and some may not, but most of them probably have something to do with improving the looks or usability of your home. A garage floor protector typically won't rank high on anyone's glamor scale, which means garage flooring often goes uncovered. Sometimes this causes a problem, sometimes it doesn't. Let's go over a few misconceptions surrounding garage floor protectors.

Concrete Is Tough Stuff, It Doesn't Need Protection

A concrete floor looks anything but fragile, and, if you've never owned a home with a garage, you're probably thinking that there's just no way it needs protecting. After all, isn't just a big hunk of rock? If you're not sure that your concrete needs some protecting, take a look at some older floors that weren't protected by anything. The destruction that is wreaked upon concrete just from sitting around is quite amazing. If your home is in an area where there are extreme, fast temperature changes, or extreme cold, it's very possible that you will see significant damage the first time the seasons change, which is always hard on unprotected garage floors.

Can't I Always Just Clean Up Any Messes With Cleaner?

If you're the type of person that knows what each different cleaner does because you keep your home completely spotless, then you're probably thinking that you can always use a cleaner if something does spill. To be fair, there are some cleaners that do a pretty decent job, but, keep in mind, concrete is porous, so anything spilled on it will be with it in some form or another forever. Look at the before and after pictures on the labels of those same products - many times, they don't even advertise that they're able to clear the stain completely, because it's not always possible.

Aren't Garage Floor Protectors Pricy?

When it comes to owning a home, protecting the flooring in your garage is likely to be one of the cheapest things you will do. An epoxy garage floor paint kit can generally be had for under $100. Not only will this protect your garage floors from damage that will require costly repairs, but it'll look good at the same time. You may not think that you care what your garage looks like, but, once your garage looks like a showroom, you'll be pining to show it off.

It's Hard To Install A Garage Floor Protector

Not all garage flooring is the same, and one of the main differences between them is difficulty of install. However, even the hardest to install flooring is going to be one of the easier things you'll have to do when owning a home, and you'll be avoiding tough and costly repairs down the road. For example, the hardest garage floor protector to apply would be epoxy, and it can usually be finished within a single day. That, however, might be overkill for you. In plenty of situations, all you really need is a basic mat to keep your garage floor undamaged and protected. 絶縁シート
