Choosing the Right Epoxy and Polyaspartic Flooring for Your Garage

Why Low-VOC Floor Coatings Are Beneficial for You and the Environment

When designing your garage, one aspect that often gets overlooked is the flooring. The right flooring can help enhance the overall appearance of your garage and significantly impact its durability and functionality. A standout choice in this regard is low-VOC epoxy and polyaspartic flooring. This flooring solution provides a safe, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing surface compared to traditional floor coatings.

Our team at GarageExperts® of Boise has the scoop on epoxy and polyaspartic flooring, why it’s the best choice for your space, and what could happen if you opt for a different floor coating.

How High-VOC Floor Coatings Can Impact You

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are harmful chemicals emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids, including some types of floor coatings. High VOC levels can harm the environment and your overall health.

Some of the dangers associated with using high-VOC floor coatings for a garage includes:

• Severe Health Risks: Prolonged exposure to high VOCs can lead to various health issues. These include eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, and loss of coordination. More severe effects can include damage to the liver, kidneys, or nervous system.
• Negative Long-Term Effects: Over time, VOCs can cause serious health problems such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and even cancer.
• Poor Indoor Air Quality: VOCs can be particularly problematic indoors or in areas with limited ventilation, like a garage. The concentrations of VOCs can be up to ten times higher indoors, leading to poor air quality.
• Odor Problems: High VOC floor coatings can also result in lingering odors in the garage. While the high number of VOCs does not necessarily mean it's dangerous, some VOCs can cause discomfort due to their strong smell.
• Moisture Damage: High VOC floor coating doesn't allow water vapor to pass through it. Over time, this can cause moisture damage to the coating and affect the floor's appearance.

On the other hand, low-VOC epoxy and polyaspartic flooring solutions, such as GarageFX® flooring, emit fewer VOCs, making them a safer and more eco-friendly option.
