New home flooring cover for garage and lanai
 

We are building new home in Villages. What is best cover for garage and lanai floors? Is it better to let builder do or use after market?

Epoxy hands down. I have done DIY and bought a home with it done by a pro.

The man that does this for a living work looked better. Since this job will be in the Lanai that's the one I would opt for. But don't use the builder, hire it out after you own the home. It is cheaper and you will have more choices in design.

Epoxy for garage. Keep something under the hot tires. I suggest you look at Chattahoochie river rock for the lanai.

We put tile on the lanai. Not the same as inside the house. It was a tile that was rated as non-slip when wet and that complemented the outside color of the house. Everyone comments on it when they see it the first time. Epoxy in the garage.

Yes be very careful of finishes that are slippery. Lots of our neighbors had their garage floors finished when they moved here and several fell. THey had a company come back and recover with sand in the mix.

Thanks

Got it

The trick to keeping the floors from being slippery is to use 'shark grip' or the equal in the final coating, this provides a slip resistant coating when the floor is wet.
