Garage Floor

[JBird]

Is probably condensation - is your ceiling open or boarded up?

The roof is flat concrete (well, slightly slanted for drainage), completely sealed, with garden on top. It's like a concrete bunker built into a hill. Ill post a photo when I get a chance.

Only ventilation is a small slit in the garage door itself. I think ill have to install some sort of Ventilation shaft, towards the back in the corners, as that's where the condensation occurs.

There is indeed old paint on the floors and I think a layer or screed - will have to remove that too.

Loving the wheel rack on the wall - great idea.

Yes so a large trim piece to cover the last/first tile egde...

Would be useful to update this thread in a few months perhaps to see how well it lasts? In case there's any movement or cracking...?

Cheers

Nice job Mike - thanks for sharing. Interface at the front looks like it should hold up.

That looks awesome Mike. How are they holding up 4 months on? Would you do anything different?

It's perfect - the only thing I have done since then is add a little wall art .













If money was no object, I would have changed the up and over doors for some sectional (insulated) roller ones, but that would have wiped out the budget completely . Obviously being twice the size and height would have been nice (allowing me to have a lift), but that is for the lottery win :hahaha:.

Loving the chess board tile look!

Has anyone had any experience of the coloured resin floor screed?

Cheers

Yes, it works very well. I have done painted garage floors 2 ways recently. On my own garage it had a very rough cast concrete floor, which I levelled using large buckets of levelling compound (about 30 bags for a double garage) and then painted that using cheap grey garage floor paint. This looks good, but lifts a little with wet car tyres. On my friends garage, we went the other way. It was old concrete with minor broken sections and we used an epoxy levelling compound as there was much less depth to fill in than mine. This worked very well and is proving to be bullet proof tough. In hindsight, I wish I had used epoxy over my levelling compound due to the hardness of the finish. It does cost a lot more than paint though.

I realise this is replying to an old thread, but just sharing the knowledge.
