I am waiting for permits to build my new 1,000 s.f. garage and looking at all floor options as well. I will be going with either polished concrete or terrazzo. With the terrazo, I can cove it up the walls about 6" and have a floor that I could literally steam clean if I ever needed to.   |
A word of caution on the terrazzo. I have it in about 2,000 square feet in our home and it is not impervious to staining. Anything acidic, dog pee, stomach acid or anything acidic for that matter will etch it. The only way to get rid of it is to have it repolished and it is a true PITA. It will also crack and replacement is a real chore. I don't know how it would stand up in a garage environment.
I would think the polished concrete would be a better solution and much less costly. But remember there are two types of concrete; one that has cracks and the other one that is going to crack.😛😛
