Garage Screen Door Installation

from:

Do you ever wish you could open your garage door while you’re working inside and not have to worry about bugs and insects infiltrating your space? It’s such a shame to have such a huge opening to the beautiful outdoors while you’re working on the inside and being unable to open the doors because of something as tiny as bugs. But there is an answer!

Screens.

Keeping bugs out with a garage door screen has become more popular in many areas where bugs, flies, mosquitoes, and other pests invade the space. Not only do they keep bugs out of your garage, they help keep them out of your entire house too. Installing a simple screen door on your garage door can create a pleasant work space that allows fresh air, sunlight, and the great outdoors to come in with you – without the frustration of bugs.

Tackling a home improvement project to install a garage door screen is fairly simple. Most hardware or home improvement stores can help you locate screen door options available for garages. They come in various sizes and many are custom designed. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of demand for screens since many people don’t even know they exist. This means they can be a little expensive but well worth the investment.

Some stores have custom ordered screen options and they offer hand-sewn screens to fit the door opening. You can also create your own screens, much like screening in a patio or deck. If you’re handy with tools and you’re looking for a worthwhile do-it-yourself project, this one may be worth investigating further. Your goal is to create a screen door that fits snugly in the garage door opening but that does not interfere with the garage door itself. It doesn’t have to be elaborate and sophisticated – just functional. Portable screen doors can be stored overhead in your garage or slid against the side walls when not in use.

If you decide to purchase your screen, you will likely find more flexible and affordable options that save you lots of time and frustration. Garage Screen Doors is a company that specializes in garage screens. They start as low as $89 and they are easy to install. They are installed using hook and loop materials and no special tools are needed. These pre-made screens include a zipper for easy entry and exit while the screen is in place. They don’t interfere with the function of your regular garage door either. Screens can be cut to fit custom sized openings and they also come in a variety of standard sizes. Step by step instructions make this do-it-yourself installation quick and easy.

Before you discount the value of working in your garage because of the unwanted bugs that come to visit, investigate a home improvement project that includes garage screen doors and make more use of your space. These screens will help you spend many hours in your garage without annoying flies, mosquitoes, and other pests.

New Life with Painted Garage Floors

Painting a garage floor is a good way to bring new life and vitality to this often overlooked space. There are special paints designed specifically for garage floors. There are choices between water or oil based paints and they come in a variety of colors. The biggest task in painting your garage floor is properly preparing the floor ahead of time.

A floor that is properly prepared helps ensure that the paint will adhere to the floor and you will have a professional looking floor. Do-it-yourself garage floor painting takes a little time and effort in preparation but it will lead to success in the end. Before you pull out the paint and rollers, prepare the surface and save yourself a lot of headaches and hard work.

Tips to prepare the surface include:

1. Make sure your floor is suitable for painting. Check the concrete for moisture and remove any moisture that exists.

2. Use a high-quality floor cleaner and degreaser. This product is essential to help remove oil spills, chemicals brought in from highways, and other dirt that finds its way into your garage. Follow the instructions closely when cleaning the floor. Scrape any rough patches and remove as much dirt, dust, and grime as possible.

3. To further ensure your floor surface is prepared for paint, use a concrete etcher and rust remover. This is especially important if you have rust stains. Follow the instructions very carefully since this product contains some potentially harmful ingredients if it gets on your skin or in your eyes. One of the most important steps in this process is to thoroughly rinse and clean the surface and remove all signs and residue from the etcher.

4. Repair any cracks and clean dust after cleaning.

5. Allow the floor to thoroughly dry before attempting to paint. A clean, dry floor is the best way to ensure the paint adheres to the surface and turns out looking great.

Choosing the paint is your next step. You can choose from water or oil-based paints, although keep in mind that oil-based paint may peel more easily. Epoxy paint is a good option as are Polyurethane and Latex paints. The type of paint you choose is a personal preference and you can learn more about various types of paint by visiting your local paint store or home improvement center. The most important thing about painting your garage floor is properly preparing the floor and ensuring it is completely dry before you begin.

Also, keep in mind that some paints require adhesive to help the paint bond to the concrete. Check to see if the paint you choose requires adhesive. This can be an important advantage on a garage floor. Always allow adhesive to dry thoroughly before applying paint.

Choose paint in a color that is appealing to you and that complements your home’s colors and aesthetics. With your completed home improvement project and newly painted floor, you’ll enjoy working in your garage space more often and you’ll increase the visual appeal of the garage.
