It's easy to neglect your garage flooring in the busy day-to-day way of life. Because of this, concrete garage floors can crack, stain, and discolour. To make sure your concrete floors remain in good condition for years to come, here are some tips to expand the lifespan of your garage concrete flooring.
IMMEDIATELY WIPE UP SPILLS
Concrete garage floors and driveways are prone to oil stains, these stains are not purely a cosmetic issue, they can also deteriorate the quality of the concrete over time.
SWEEP YOUR FLOORS
Sweep your concrete floors regularly to remove loose dirt and debris. Over time, dirt and other contaminants can lower the integrity of the concrete.
HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE CLEAN
This is an efficient way to clean your concrete surface deeply.
REMOVE UNWANTED STAINS
This will improve the overall look of your concrete, and increase its lifespan.
REPAIR MINOR CRACKS IN YOUR DRIVEWAY
FIVE easy steps to repairing minor cracks.
1. IDENTIFY MINOR VS MAJOR. Minor repairs are those which impact the aesthetics, not the structural integrity of your concrete driveway.
2. MAKE A SHOPPING LIST OF MATERIALS REQUIRED
3. SAFE WORK. Wear safety glasses and gloves
4. PROJECT PREPARATION. Clean out any loose particles using a scraper, and/or hard bristle brush, and for dust particles, use a vacuum.
5. CONCRETE REPAIRS. Once your surface is completely clean, mix your concrete (unless using pre-mixed concrete). Apply concrete using a trowel, shape and smooth, and leave to dry.
COLOUR CONCRETE
IS ADDING A COAT OF PAINT TO YOUR FLOOR, OR TINT TO YOUR SEALANT A CONSIDERATION?
SEAL CONCRETE
(REMEMBER TO REMOVE ALL OLD PAINT AND SEALANT PRIOR)
Sealant helps protect concrete against leaks, oil, grime, and other stain.
