Epoxy floors are a common solution for the garage, or commercial buildings and just recently have they been used in the home. Epoxy can be a safe solution, however, you will want to work with a product that is designed for home use.

Epoxy floor coating—a two-part mixture of resins and hardeners enlivens, protects, and updates concrete floors in garages, basements, sunrooms, and patios. Rolled on in multiple layers, epoxy coatings create seamless stretches of flooring that withstand grease, scuffing, moisture, and chemicals. Epoxy coatings—which require blending two separate components before application—firmly adhere to concrete and are unlikely to chip or peel like regular garage floor paints.

Durability and their non-flammable nature make epoxy coated floors a good choice for garages and basement work spaces. They are strong enough to withstand dropped power tools, carry the weight of rolling and parked cars, and stand up to spills of all kinds.…

Durability and their non-flammable nature make epoxy coated floors a good choice for garages and basement work spaces. They are strong enough to withstand dropped power tools, carry the weight of rolling and parked cars, and stand up to spills of all kinds. In fact, when properly applied, epoxy floor finishes can endure for as long as 20 years.
Epoxy floor paints are tough resin-based paints that come in two separate parts mixed together before applying. There are three different types of epoxy paint: solid, solvent-base, and water-base.
Solid epoxy: Epoxy that is solid is the purest form of epoxy. It doesn't contain solvents that evaporate. These products are expensive and difficult to handle because they harden very rapidly. This finish should be applied by a professonal.

Solvent-base epoxy: Solvent-base epoxies contain from 40 to 60 percent solids. They penetrate the concrete surface and adhere well. They are available in wide range of colours. Because the solvents are powerful and potentially hazardous, you must wear a respirator when applying the finish. You'll also need to ventilate the garage and keep people and pets away from the garage.
Water-base epoxy: Like solvent-based epoxies, water-base epoxies also contain from 40 to 60 percent solids. The benefit of this type of epoxy is there are no hazardous solvent fumes. These epoxy finishes are sold at most home canters and hardware stores, and are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to solvent-based finishes.
Pre-tinted and metallic epoxy floor coatings expand decorating options—especially when it comes to stylish flooring inside and outside living areas. Some epoxy floor coating systems provide coloured flakes, which are scattered as the second layer of coating is applied, to create speckled patterns in the surface.

Increased Durability
Our epoxy floors are 5 times harder than concrete, with a combined psi of 15,000. The impact resistance of an epoxy floor is a perfect benefit for the home, and especially high traffic areas, like the kitchen, entryways, or bathrooms
