H&C has various coatings that perform well on garage floors, but the most durable and effective product for garage floors is H&C Shield-Crete garage floor epoxy.

Shield-Crete comes in a kit that has everything you need to coat up to 250 square feet or a standard single-car garage.

A concentrated degreaser, two-part epoxy, non-skid additive and a packet of deco flakes.

The epoxy comes in four of the most popular colors for garage floors: fire brick red, pewter, beige and ivory.

Even though etching is recommended for most concrete projects H&C Shield-Crete allows you to eliminate etching and still get great results.

This is huge for contractors who want to get the job done right, right away.

Here's a special tip that's not on the kit box.

Contractors should ask the homeowners if they've used silicone based tire treatments such as ARMOR ALL on their car tires.

In this case it's recommended to spot etch or scuff sand under the tire path in the garage.

This will ensure complete adhesion even in spots where a tough to penetrate product like ARMOR ALL is present.

Once the floor has been prepped, grab the right tools: a ⅜ inch nap Purdy White Dove non-shedding roller cover, a heavy-duty 9-inch roller frame and a sturdy extension pole, along with a standard paint tray plus a small paintbrush for getting into tight corners.

H&C Shield-Crete should be applied evenly.

Roll on large areas and back roll for a uniform finish.

Always apply to a wet edge.

If the homeowner wants a more decorative finish the H&C deco flakes can be added to accent any color finish while adding dimension to the floor.

Work in small sections about three feet square, sprinkling flakes randomly over the sections of wet epoxy.

There's a trick to applying the deco flakes.

Make sure you lightly toss the flakes up in the air so they fall like snow.

This will give a more random pattern when finished.

To achieve the look of more concentrated flakes also known as the popular terrazzo look additional flakes can be purchased separately and scattered more liberally to create a more dense coverage.

The finished floor with flakes or solid color results in a clean fresh surface and a great look for virtually any space.

Shield-Crete is sure to please any homeowner.

After drying 12 hours or overnight, Shield-Crete glaze can be applied for a final protective coating.

Before applying the glaze, sweep up any loose flakes.

If heavier flakes are used this glaze step works great to seal them in.

This final step is worth the added work.

It gives the surface additional gloss and makes cleaning easier.

For larger commercial or industrial jobs that need to withstand heavier vehicular traffic it is recommended to apply two coats of Shield-Crete with a 12-hour recoat time between each.

Garage floors are only the beginning.

H&C Shield-Crete can also be applied on basement and laundry room floors.

H&C solvent based solid color concrete sealer is a great way to give driveways and exterior surfaces a durable finish that resist stains and weathering.

For a glossy look suggest H&C oil-based Concrete Sealer Gloss as a topcoat.

H&C products are designed to work together for lasting protection.

H&C even has special formulations for driveways and walkways constructed with brick or concrete pavers.

For homeowners who prefer the natural look of pavers or brick.

H&C Paver Sealer Natural protects the pavers and bonds joint sand, locking it in for ultimate durability.

Or if a glossier finish is preferred try H&C's Paver Sealer Gloss for a unique look.

Help contractors build their confidence about coating concrete and they'll discover a wide range of new business opportunities.
