as you who have seen the shop area before, it is now much expanded, we are waiting for another lift to be installed and then will refinish the floor, we are between epoxy and concrete polishing. Please does anyone have an opinion on either method?

I work in garage facilities that are mostly epoxy. Epoxy Holds up fine but does need spot maintenance about every 4 years or so from large heavy objects that drop on it and chip it. Sealer still chips but isn’t as noticeable.
My personal garage floor was done 23 years ago with 2 part epoxy and still is decent but I’d love to redo it if it didn’t involve moving everything out 1st. No coating is going to hold up to a drop of 2700F drop of molten metal so I wouldn’t use that as a basis for decision. Clear sealer may show the burn less but it will be there. |
