“There is a variety of materials reproduced in porcelain, such as stones, concrete, wood, among others, that can be used. Generally, the option should be for a large format product, as it reduces the grout area, which is always more critical in terms of cleanability”, explains Christiane Ferreira, marketing manager at Portobello. The choice of flooring also varies depending on whether the garage is external or internal. For open-air environments, care must be taken against slipping, therefore, it is necessary to opt for non-slip floors. “Since the floor will constantly be exposed to more intense and aggressive dirt, in addition to constant exposure to water, care and slip resistance must be increased when compared to a covered garage”, says Anderson Eziquiel Patricio, Quality Assurance coordinator at Eliane Revestimento. Satin products are also good options when it comes to garages. "Tire dirt can scratch shiny ceramics, causing premature wear of the surface enamel", explains Lef Group's marketing manager, Eduardo Scoco. Once the floor is chosen, there are still care related to maintenance. If it is made of ceramic, cleaning must be done with a broom, water and neutral detergent. “Fluoric acid-based products should never be used, as they irreversibly damage the glazed surface of the floor”, reminds Fernando Gabardo, from Incepa. In the gallery above, we have separated 24 floors for garages.
