Garage Facelift
|
You would probably ask yourself why do you need a facelift for
your garage. It is only a garage! But what if you have a
two or more cars garage? The garage doors take up a
significant portion of the front of the house. What is the use in
having a great design for your house but having only generic
garage doors?
Nowadays the garage door trends are to incorporate the doors
into the design of the house. For example you could choose
carriage-style doors(look like they open like old-fashioned
doors in carriage houses, but they open like normal garage
doors) or you could choose wood carriage doors. These wood
carriage doors are reminiscences of the horse-drawn carriage days
and they are very popular. You don’t need to go as far as to
order custom made garage doors because you can find more
appealing garage doors at most home improvement stores.
In addition to the doors, the floor of a garage gives style and can
integrate to the overall aesthetics of your house. You could try
interlocking garage floor tiles that come in multiple colors and
patterns. They are made of polypropylene and are easy to
install and clean. Another interesting and practical flooring is the
coin shaped G-flooring.
Florocrete® concrete floor covering is a urethane morter concrete
mix that is available in virtually any color. This is applied to the surface
in a layer of about 1/8" to 1/4" thickness and dries to a smooth shiny
finish. Once dry, the Florocrete® will endure corrosive chemicals,
abrasion, and dramatic temperature changes. This system is fairly expensive
to install as it needs to be applied by trained applicators. What is amazing
about this system is that not only can colors be added, but also grit, so that
this system can also be used for an anti-skid flooring. As this system is
designed for industrial use, you can be sure it will literally last a life time.
