5. Leave It Alone

The last step is to leave your garage floor alone. Don’t touch it, walk on it, or drive your car on it. While most manufacturers recommend you wait at least 24 hours, it’s best to wait several days or even a week.

How To Buy Enough To Coat Your Garage Flooring

When buying an epoxy coat, it will state a range of square footage that the epoxy floor coating can cover. There’s a range because it’s hard to precisely predict how the concrete coating will perform on your specific concrete floor.

If the concrete is more porous, then more of the coating will sink into the concrete, causing it to cover a small square footage. If your application is thick, it will also use up the coating faster and ultimately cover a small area.

You don’t want to find yourself short with more garage floor to cover and no more epoxy to use. Measure the length and width of your garage floor and multiply these two numbers together to get the total square footage. Then buy enough coating to cover that square footage and then some.

A safe approach is to use the lower range number when calculating coverage. You should also consider whether or not you want to apply more than one coat. If you decide to do multiple thin coats, you will need to double the amount of square footage you need to cover your floor.
