What decorative materials can go onto concrete floors? There are all kinds of options. Many companies develop special floor-coating products just for garages, often with special resistance capabilities. With colored vinyl chips broadcast over them, these coatings can really improve the way a garage floor looks and performs.

In the home proper, coating options range from epoxies, urethanes and other coatings, which offer a layer of color and protection directly over the base concrete slab, to cementitious overlays, which themselves can be colored or coated. Bonding primers and sealers can also be invaluable when coating a concrete floor.
