A Sarasota home garage traditionally has been where the car is parked. However, it can also be a great expansion for where the kids can play, especially once it’s been remodeled. Eventually, when the kids have grown up, the same space can be turned into a home gym as well for personal fitness. Both options allow the garage to be used more efficiently, and it gets the same activities out of the house where they can conflict with other living spaces both with noise and equipment.
What is Needed for a New Garage Playroom?
The first step is finishing the space. Kids can’t be expected to play in an unfinished space, which is usually the case with most garages. While newer homes have made a point to at least seal up the internal walls with a basic drywall treatment (usually was left bare in older homes), insulation is missing, the walls are unpainted, the cement is bare, there’s no finish joiner between the floor and the walls, and the lighting is usually a utility lamp at best. That leaves a lot of opportunity for improvement. So, the initial question a lot of folks will have when considering the possibility will be how to get started.
Consider Epoxy Flooring for a Quick Change
Epoxy flooring in Sarasota is a great way to finish a garage floor quickly, professionally and with a durable surface that can withstand the impact of children at play, as well as equipment and furniture. In fact, epoxy flooring has been so popular for industrial settings, where things take a much harder beating, it’s been used for decades on factory floors.
There are lots of options for epoxy flooring as well as colors, surface decoration, and textures. Examples can be seen with a simple Internet search on epoxy garage floor near me or similar queries. Depending on what’s desired for a playroom, the flooring can be a basic solid treatment or decorative. In any case, the epoxy will be durable and protective, avoiding any problems with impact issues, stains, spills or similar to the cement underneath. The protection comes from the multi-layer approach in how the epoxy and its top outer layer are applied, bonding to the the clean, grounded cement underneath and then preventing any penetration after the surface is cured.
Further, unlike other Sarasota home upgrades or home improvements that can run in the tens of thousands of dollars due to lots of custom construction, a garage flooring treatment tends to be fairly affordable and quick to take care of if the garage can be cleaned out before the work teams arrive.
Where Applied, the Use Case Makes Sense
While a garage conversion project for the kids isn’t for everyone, it’s a great way to grab valuable space and use of a Sarasota home where the garage already exists. The work is simply finishing what was left undone when the garage was constructed and sold with the home. The end product will be both surprising and amazing in use, especially with an epoxy treatment professionally applied by an experienced treatment team.
