This is a thick and hard coating that does a great job of protecting your garage floor from stains, dirt, chemicals and scuffing.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3901\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3901\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3901 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/traftonforeignauto_commercial_pdx_silverfox_after_3-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Garage Floor Clear Coat\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/traftonforeignauto_commercial_pdx_silverfox_after_3-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/traftonforeignauto_commercial_pdx_silverfox_after_3-1-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/traftonforeignauto_commercial_pdx_silverfox_after_3-1-1-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3901\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garage Floor Clear Coat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scratches are less visible<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most obvious benefit of applying a <a href=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/cost-analysis-of-showroom-floor-coating-investments-2\/\">garage floor coating<\/a> is that it makes scratches much less visible. All <a href=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/concrete-coatings-near-me\/\">concrete coatings<\/a> will develop microscopic scratches, but when a clear coat is applied those are camouflaged and are not as noticeable as they would be if they were still on the color coat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another good thing about using a clear top coat over an epoxy is that it helps protect the color from general wear and tear, spills and chemicals. It also makes your epoxy garage floor more durable and helps prevent hot tire pick-up and stains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Home improvement centers and hardware stores do not carry garage floor clear coats to go with the epoxy or <a href=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/polyurethane-vs-polyaspatic-for-your-garage-floor\/\">polyurethane coatings<\/a> that they sell, but you can purchase them from many online vendors. These vendors have a good knowledge of the products and can help you determine which ones will work best for your needs. You will also want to take advantage of their helpful customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It adds depth to the appearance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A clear top coat can add a lot of depth to the appearance of your garage floor. Depending on the type of clear coat you choose, it can give the floor a glossy shine that will reflect more light than the color coat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The addition of a clear coat to a color coating also helps to reduce the development of scratches. Scratches are a common issue with most garage floor coatings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, a clear top coat will help to reduce this problem significantly by hiding the majority of these microscopic scratches. This will make your garage floor look much nicer and it will also help to improve the durability of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housebeautiful.com\/room-decorating\/outdoor-ideas\/g44320543\/garage-flooring-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">garage flooring<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anti-slip additives are also hidden better with a clear coat because they are usually translucent in color and they will not stand out. Without a clear coat they would be visible as little bumps that resemble sandpaper on your garage floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3701\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/The-Environmental-Impact-of-Floor-Coatings_-A-Look-At-Water-Based-vs.-Solvent-Based-Options-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Garage Floor Clear Coat\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/The-Environmental-Impact-of-Floor-Coatings_-A-Look-At-Water-Based-vs.-Solvent-Based-Options-blog.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/The-Environmental-Impact-of-Floor-Coatings_-A-Look-At-Water-Based-vs.-Solvent-Based-Options-blog-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/The-Environmental-Impact-of-Floor-Coatings_-A-Look-At-Water-Based-vs.-Solvent-Based-Options-blog-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garage Floor Clear Coat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It adds a glossy shine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The garage floor clear coat is an important part of any quality epoxy garage floor coating application. Not only does it add a glossy shine to the garage floor, but it also adds depth and elegance to the overall look of your concrete surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the shiny and sleek look it evokes, it is a very useful protective layer that will keep your concrete flooring looking good and lasting longer than it would without it. It will also help protect your floor from the wear and tear of your cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best part of the clear coat is that it can be applied to a variety of different types of concrete surfaces and does not require specialized tools or training. It is especially handy for people with limited time and budgets, as it does not take long to apply, requires no sanding or grinding, and can be used to cover up damaged or stained surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wise Coatings<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?cid=2589512530409833629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?cid=2589512530409833629<\/a><br \/>\n(503) 855-6338<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/\">https:\/\/wisecoatings.com\/portland\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Garage Floor Clear Coat Importance If you have ever had a garage floor, you know how important it is to protect your concrete from damage.
