Before moving in to our new home I wanted to coat my 3-car garage (750 sq. ft) with an epoxy coating. It seems like there are so many options out there it can be hard to choose which system is right for you. I did a ton of research and always seemed to keep coming back to Leggari. In this video I apply a flake epoxy floor coating in my garage using all Leggari products.
In the world of epoxy coatings there is a wide spectrum of quality available. At my last house I applied a "low cost" epoxy solution that I bought online. This Rustoleum Professional series promised "industrial strength" but I quickly found out that wasn't the case. The coating went on very thin and in one of my garages the finish was not great. Although I didn't drive on these floors I could see that it wouldn't take much to start destroying my coating.
For my new house, I wanted to make sure I was putting on a quality product. Leggari epoxy resins are 100% solids and incorporate a lot of layers which ultimately yield a very strong floor. The products are quite a bit more money than the cheap store bought stuff...but it's worth it. You really do get what you pay for. Big thanks to Leggari for supporting the DIY community!
