The two types of concrete garage floor sealers are film-forming and penetrating. Film-forming sealers include acrylic, polyurethane, polyaspartic, and epoxy variants. Penetrating sealers include silicate, silane, siloxane, and silicone subtypes.

Epoxy lasts longer than paint, and you need only one coat. Paint is cheaper and easier than epoxy to apply, but you need several coats to get coverage. Paint will stick to imperfect garage preparation. Epoxy will not.

Use latex paint for the cheapest floor protection. Use epoxy or polyurethane for a beautiful coating that provides real protection. For the utmost protection against brake fluid and battery acid, choose polyurethane garage floor paint.
