Hey garage guys,

a month ago i had my garage floors epoxied (looks fantastic)

but now the garage seems to be twice as hot than it use to be, as if the epoxy floor is holding heat. (or reflecting the heat)
Was the bare concrete floor before breathing or absorbing the heat?

it it my imagination?

i was going to epoxy the garage in another house we own, however now im second guessing myself.

does epoxy floors some how hold heat or increase the heat in a garage compared to a concrete floor?

Thanks in advance

 

I treated several of my garages with epoxy. The answer should be "no".
Some of the epoxies, esp the water based ones, will heat up while being mixed/activated. That effect should disappear within hours.
Has anything else changed around your garage ? Maybe some better weather sealing around the doors ? Or was your old slab damp before it was covered (wouldn't recommend application anyhow in a damp environment) ?

I just completed my main house garage :

 

Heat Resistance:
Epoxy floors are designed to withstand temperature extremes. Whether it's the heat of summer or the cold of winter, your epoxy flooring will remain stable and durable.
It can withstand temperatures from 75 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications. But absorption can be more than just there https://porn2all.com/categories/outdoor/ if you know what I mean)
Concrete's heat absorption compared to epoxy coating:
Bare concrete floors absorb and retain heat, which can contribute to the overall warmth of a room.
Epoxy floors, on the other hand, do not absorb heat in the same way. They take on the temperature of the concrete slab underneath.
If your garage seems hotter after installing epoxy flooring, it's likely due to the heat retention of the concrete slab, not the epoxy flooring itself.
