Hello everyone,
the construction is progressing, and now we’re starting to work on the garage.
In the next two weeks, the screed will be installed in the garage. After that, there is a 21-day waiting period. While waiting for everything to be finished, I want to research the best way to protect and seal the floor.
The screed installer recommended an epoxy resin coating. Cost is about 2200 euros.
Now I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be enough to just seal the garage floor with epoxy paint,
for example Easyground, Brillux 2K Purolid F878, etc.
Cost is about 800 euros if done DIY, plus the cost of sanding also done DIY.
Brillux is said to be resistant to plasticizers, so there should be no problems with tires.
In the end, the floor should be gray with black and white flakes.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Zigenpeter8615 Jul 2021 09:06I have now found a set from the company Sematec that offers everything complete:
- Primer
- Coating
- Flakes
- Topcoat
For about 50 square meters, they charge 350 euros in the DIY set. Sounds very interesting.
@Bookstar Yes, I know that one as well; it is then a 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 inch) thick layer. The question is whether something like that is necessary for a private garage.
A screed has to be installed anyway, as the pipes for the radiator still need to be concealed.

Will this become a problem in the long run?We have had it like this for seven years now, and as long as you don’t have very high expectations for the appearance, I don’t see any issue with it. Of course, it looks better if the surface is pore-free, which also makes cleaning easier. We’ll see if we manage that a bit better in our new house. 😉I coated the screed in an 18 sq. meter (194 sq. ft) storage room with a 2K epoxy resin. First, I filled the joints with acrylic sealant, taped off the edges with an edge strip, and then simply painted it on. Two coats. It’s extremely durable—any dirt that collects can be wiped off easily. Materials cost around €150 or so.
Please don’t confuse this with simple concrete paint. A 2K coating like this should last many years.
Paying €100-200 per sq. meter (9-18 per sq. ft) is crazy; what’s the point? Tom is right—at that price, you might as well have tiled the floor.
