I'm really happy with the way the floor turned out but now I have a "New Rule".

No glass in the garage. Why you ask? Because when it hits the floor it shatters.

Don't ask how I know this? I will say...although I did sweep the floor many times...

I still found 4 or 5 hidden pieces with my bare feet. Also, don't drop screws...they hide.

Interestingly enough that's how this garage project started.

The wife said "I'd like to do the driveway" and I said "OK then, I'd like to do the garage floor."

If the floor holds up and looks good like they said...it should last me longer than my lifetime.

There are TONS of finishes, colors & color combinations you can do for the epoxy deco flakes.
The epoxy line I used is a 100% solids (No fillers) industrial strength, three component coating.

Heres a pic of the epoxy floor color flakes sample I chose against the black painted stucco wall.
32% white 32% black 32% grey and 4% Terracotta (dark Harley orange).

Looks great. Hope mine looks half that good when the house is finished.

Merlin, That LOOKS AWESOME!! Love the color combo. Only thing that I can see missing is a big screen TV to watch all the videos and surf AGO on the big screen.
Truely a Man Cave Now....

I tried to get a flat screen and a brass pole...and the wife said "Get that girl out of our garage!" (BIG GRIN)...Thanks...

Thanks! It's been a long time dream to clean and remodel the garage.
I have AC, tunes, lots of work shelves, lots of light and I'm proud of it and no longer embarrassed by the piles of "stuff".

I'm sure it feels better walking around and standing on your feet all day.
Not to mention there are still a few very small pieces of glass in the bottom of my feet.

Garage Door Insulated. Took about an hour to install. Ran silicone beads on the open ends to hold them in place and stop any squeaks.
Atlas EPS Matador Garage Door Insulation Universal Kit. Exposed face made of High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) Laminate. Looks very finished.

Note: There are residential and commercial kits. If I had it to do over again I'd buy one of each. BTW-My hot garage was noticeably cooler.
Why? I have four panels that are 21-1/2" high and four that are 19" high. In my case I had to use my width cut-off as a top filler strip
Just something to check before ordering. It's worth the $10. One of each kind and I would not have needed to piece in a filler strip.

Residential Panel dimension: 20-1/4" x 54" x 1-1/4"
Commercial Panel Dimensions: 23-1/4" x 54" x 1-1/4"
