No hype just great products

I used rustoleum garage floor epoxy about 5 years ago. Its held up good for me.

I've been working with concrete for some 30 years. I've been a concrete contractor and for the last 15 years I have been a field superintendent for a large commercial general contractor that self-performs all it's own concrete work.

This is what I put on my own stuff:

All the various epoxy products work great and look fine-I'm not knocking them at all, but it's kinda like putting down oak hardwood flooring and then painting it blue. Or green or grey or any one of a rainbow of available colors. It don't make any sense to me. A properly finished concrete slab is a thing of beauty and the ashford (that's a brand name-there are others) lets that beauty come through. These are silicate-based surface hardeners and densifiers, and any spills just wipe up. I've spilled it all on my slab and so far Mt. Dew is the only thing that has left a mark (sorry Andy LOL)

There are new lithium-based products that work even better.
Just sayin'

My Epoxy-Shield floor, Before and After It's holding up great for over 5 years!

One thing I like about a coated floor is that its easier to find dropped screws and stuff like that. I do like the new concrete floors to however, they sure are smooth and look like glass.
