Garage Floor Solutions

from Ideal Garage Solutions

Ideal Garage Solutions offers two wonderful garage flooring options to help complete your attractive garage.

First, our new hard-coat finishing system provides beautiful coatings in a color of your choice. Our process starts with insuring a solid bond by mechanically grinding a thin layer of the current concrete floor, which allows the coatings greater adhesion. We apply our coatings and flakes, in a color of your choice, and you are able to walk on it after only 2 hours and able to park you car on you new garage floor in as little as 24 hours.

The finish is four times more abrasion resistant than typical epoxy coatings and it cures quickly (a typical epoxy coating takes approximately 5-7 days) and the color does not yellow or fade. We are very proud to bring you an attractive floor coating which can be completed in one day so you can quickly enjoy your garage.

Our process can also be used in basements, patios/porches and a number of other heavy duty applications including warehouses, restaurants, retail locations, laboratories, and more. The coatings come in a number of color options to meet your needs.

Should you choose the Ideal Garage Solutions hard coat flooring option, you will have a terrific result where you are proud of your new Ideal garage floor.

In addition, Ideal Garage Solutions has teamed up with our exclusive partner and a leading supplier of durable garage tiles, SwissTrax, to provide you a variety of styles and colors to create your Ideal Garage floor.

Renowned for their Swiss design, quality and precision, Swisstrax is now being produced with the same quality and precision in the United States.
