Garage floor sealants are very popular because they put a protective barrier between your garage floor and any dirt your vehicle tracks in. Sealants work by penetrating the concrete to repel water, oil, and other liquids for easy cleanup. Floor coatings, on the other hand, sit on top of the floor and can completely change the aesthetic of your garage while offering a wide range of chemical and abrasion resistance.Either option provides great long-term protection and a clean look, but both necessitate a fair amount of labor. By contrast, garage mats are a snap to install, are moveable, and can look fantastic if chosen wisely. They also have unique features like leak containment and parking aids.
