Yes, it counts! It looks great.

My husband would be jealous!

Nice job, Chief!

I would love to do that to our garage. What it the price per SF?

gk5040, it's funny you'd say that. I was actually perfectly happy with the plain old cement, but it was DW that constantly bugged me about doing epoxy or whatever to fix it up!

Robynpa, it came to about $3.13 per foot including shipping and tax for the tiles. Search for "moto floor" on costco.com to see the colors and price.

Just showed DH the picture of your garage. He really liked it and said he would love to do that to ours if it were empty. We have been remodeling and the poor garage has a bunch of junk in it at the moment. Am going to save your picture for future reference if that is ok.

Nice job.

If you don't mind my asking, how much was the epoxy covering per sq. foot? Is that the kind you sprinkle with color chips to get the effect you desire?

Is that epoxy surface slick? We have a huge basement area we'd like to finish off with drywall and a simple floor like that to use for dances. If it is non-skid, would it "grab" too much for people to dance on it? Was it difficult to apply?

DL, definitely the worst part wasn't the installation, it was moving everything off then back on!

kswl, the epoxy surface would be slick with wet shoes or wet feet. I did sprinkle the flecks you see in the photo - you just paint a 3x3' area then sprinkle the flecks on. They make the surface more skid-resistant, which was important to me in a garage. If you plan to dance on it, you'd probably want to skip them, in which case it would be more like a polished hardwood floor.

I bought a kit from Lowes for about $80-$90, if I recall correctly. It included everything you need - the epoxy, flakes, cement cleaner/etcher, brush, roller cover, and stirring stick. All you need it the actual paint roller. I think the kit said it was good for 200 sq. ft. or thereabouts, so the price was maybe 50 cents/ft. You can buy everything separately as well if you want, I was just lazy and the kit looked like a better deal for my small space.

It was very easy to apply. It goes on just like a thicker than usual paint.

Verrry nice! I wish we could do that with our garage...I wish I could PARK in my garage...but DH does his work out there and so we are stuck with just the plain concrete since he often has to chisel the floors off.

I did paint it a bright blue, tho, and hung mini-blinds in the windows, so yeah, I'd say the garage counts when you're decorating!

There is no way I'd show hubs these photos of your garage floor.
Like I need one more project to add to our already overwhelming list of redo's and updatings? LOL
Yes, garages count and yours looks fantastic!!!!

That is very cool! I'm not going to show it to DH 'cause I know he'd want to do it too ;-) (Maybe after we've done a few of the other things around here that need to be done...)

We didn't epoxy our garage because friends of our have and it is *very* slick even with the flecks. Since we're in a snow area, it's probably not a good idea here.

Hubby and I did our garage floor about 10 years ago, still looking good,used a stencil bought at SW paint store, they have 3 patterns, and used HC stain, then clear coat over the top, carpet strips protect from tires

Here is a link that might be useful:

Nice job! I will definitely show it to DH so maybe he can fix up the garage. It's clean but full of woodworking tools including all of dear brother-in-law that just moved here (Houston) from CA.
It's nice to look at something different that pillows, curtains and paint!

wow !! we keep saying that were going to do the garage next...what great inspirational pics :)
