Garage Finish

Garages can be finished with almost any building materials. It all depends on your desire and the option of using the area.
For work in the room, for example, car repair, this will be one option for decoration and when only setting up the car, it will be completely different. Therefore, we will give some examples on how to do this work.
To begin with, you should look at the photo on the internet and imagine a design decision. After that, the video shows the progress of the work.
The price of the issue is quite different, from budget options to rather high. Everything will depend on the cost of the material.

Garage Interior Requirements

First of all, the garage must be fully protected from temperature extremes and from fire. Start off garage interior decoration it is necessary only after full realization of this.
The chemical component can always act on the coating and no one is safe from this. This has to be reckoned with.
Yes, you should worry about car safety. Combustible substances will be stored in the room and this should be taken into account.
Materials for the performance of the work must meet the following requirements:

• It should be non-combustible materials;
• Possess increased resistance to various chemical influences;
• Be resistant to odors and not nourish them;
• Must be easy to clean and easy to wash;
• Resistant to external mechanical stress. This is especially important if you will make repairs in the garage.

Given this list, and not small, the choice of material will be very limited. Yes, and not just any color.

Choosing the flooring material

Finishing in the garage floor can be performed by and large in two versions. It depends on what you like.
Moreover, it is completely independent of what the structure is made of, from a foam block or brick.

Concrete Floor Pouring

This is the most traditional option that is used most often. You get a tough and durable surface, and the price is pretty low.
Everything can be done with your own hands, than to reduce the cost of all work.

Filling the garage floor with concrete

So:

• The filling is done with concrete. But if you will cook it yourself, then do not use traditional proportions, increase the amount of cement a little and this will only benefit;
• Before pouring, be sure to beat off the floor level, which should be ideal in relation to the floor. To do this, use the hydraulic level with which it can be performed most accurately;

Attention: Some after pouring concrete just make the screed with a liquid solution, which evens the plane. It should be said that this is not correct.
Then the upper part of the floor will be from a clean solution, which will significantly reduce the strength of the plane. And if you are thinking of doing floor loads, for example, repairing cars, then such a coating will quickly become worthless.

• After laying the floor and drying completely, the surface should be treated. If this is not done, then you will always sweep out the cement and there will be dust in the room.
  And this will negatively affect the painting of the car. To avoid this, you should paint the floor.
  If this is done immediately on cement, then the paint will peel and fall off. To prevent this from happening, cover the floor several times with linseed oil before work.
  The surface should be saturated. After that, let it dry for several days and then you can apply the paint.

Tiling

This method will be the second most used.
For him, you also need to prepare and do the job correctly:

• Pick a tile to start with, which will work. For this, it is worth taking a broom for outdoor work.
  When buying, pay attention to what temperatures it can be used. This is an important issue; in most garages there is no heating;
• Do not choose a glossy surface. Give preference to a matte finish.
  It is not so dangerous in the winter. Moreover, if you will do car repairs, then it will be very useful to you;
• When choosing a material, you should not buy natural ones. In the garage you can always spill oil or alkali.
  Natural elements can only be damaged. Artificial are less susceptible to the effects of synthetics.
  Therefore, check this question in the instructions for use:
• The tile is placed on the mortar, therefore it is extremely important to determine the level of pouring, you will put a layer of concrete before its installation, so follow the tips that are given above.

Attention: Before starting work on finishing the garage, be sure to pave the perimeter of the room. The garage will shrink over time.
With the use of the paving, this process will proceed more evenly and the coating in the garage will not be damaged in such a way.

Garage Wall Decoration

Wall decoration in the garage - this issue is important and should be carefully considered. Decide what you will do in the garage.

Plaster

This is the most used material, which can be seen quite often. It is easy to apply and does not take much time.
So:

• This is not a combustible material that will not be affected by changes in temperature and humidity. He will serve for a long time;
• When finishing, it should be remembered that although this is a durable coating, the solution should also be made with high quality. Add only high-quality cement and put a little more from the norm;
• This work is rather dirty and it can scare you away, but the executed plaster will reward the labor expended. After full finishing, before painting the surface, treat the plane with a primer.
  This will significantly extend the life of the painted surface.

Tiling

For walls, this coating is most relevant, however, as for the floor. This is an environmentally friendly material that does not harm health and is not exposed to chemicals.
So:

• Beautiful appearance can also attract the consumer. You can make any pattern, as it is possible to combine the colors of the material;
• This finish is quite strong and in the room you can make a car repair;

Attention: When installing the tile, first correctly determine the level of its laying. Otherwise, irregularities will turn out that will damage not only the design, but also create difficulties during maintenance and repair work.
For example, the squeeze may slip on a bump and you may not be able to set it correctly.

• The main disadvantage of such a facing can be considered the time of work. And the invitation of wage workers.
  Only you can read the instructions on the rules for installing tiles and then save a lot on this. And do it all yourself.

Garage wall paneling and clapboard

This option applies less.
And there are reasons for this:

• PVC wall decoration looks pretty good. But there is one rather significant drawback, if you do bodywork in the garage, then it is quite difficult.
  You can’t put pressure on the wall. Plastic can not withstand the load;
• True, in such a finish there is a significant advantage. If you have a garage with heating, then you can immediately install additional heating, and this will greatly save on costs;
• You can do all the work yourself. And it does not take much time.

Lining the garage

Attention: Mounting in this design is done on the frame, which is done from a metal corner or wooden beam. If you chose the second option, then do not forget to do the processing of wood with the help of antiseptics, which are available on the market.
Give preference to deep penetration material and do the treatment twice. This will significantly extend the life of the wood.

• Choose the right material. Masters advise taking facade material from polyvinyl chloride.
  He will do the best. Such a finish is suitable for any wall material, even foam blocks or stone.

Ceiling decoration

Ceiling in the garage can be done using plaster or drywall. It all depends on what you want to achieve.
So:

• Plastering is more durable and more practical in terms of repair work. But it does not make the room warm and when heating you will incur large costs.
• Drywall Ceiling carries its advantages. You can carry out additional insulation of the plane.
  Also, with the help of such a finish, it is possible to level the ceiling and make it perfectly smooth, but such a coating is less acceptable when conducting repairs. Yes, and in durability inferior to the first option.

Wall and ceiling decoration with plasterboard

When the garage is built, the finish is already a purely individual matter. The issue of price and performance of work on one's own does not take the last place.
