Epoxy coating
Epoxy coating is a protective floor coating often used on garage slabs.
Why it matters
A good coating makes the garage easier to clean and can reduce dusting.
Where people get this wrong
Surface prep matters more than the brand. Bad prep leads to peeling. Epoxy does not fix moisture coming through the slab.
Real-world example
A garage floor looks great right after coating. Then it starts peeling where tires park. In many cases, the slab was not properly prepped or moisture was present.
