That looks awesome Mike. How are they holding up 4 months on? Would you do anything different?

It's perfect - the only thing I have done since then is add a little wall art .













If money was no object, I would have changed the up and over doors for some sectional (insulated) roller ones, but that would have wiped out the budget completely . Obviously being twice the size and height would have been nice (allowing me to have a lift), but that is for the lottery win .

Has anyone had any experience of the coloured resin floor screed?

Yes, it works very well. I have done painted garage floors 2 ways recently. On my own garage it had a very rough cast concrete floor, which I levelled using large buckets of levelling compound (about 30 bags for a double garage) and then painted that using cheap grey garage floor paint. This looks good, but lifts a little with wet car tyres. On my friends garage, we went the other way. It was old concrete with minor broken sections and we used an epoxy levelling compound as there was much less depth to fill in than mine. This worked very well and is proving to be bullet proof tough. In hindsight, I wish I had used epoxy over my levelling compound due to the hardness of the finish. It does cost a lot more than paint though.

I realise this is replying to an old thread, but just sharing the knowledge.
