Durable polyurethane paint for floors or high-wear areas?
Want to paint a garage floor and maybe some workshop benches – needs to be really tough against oil, tyres, scratches, and cleaning. Floor paint flakes off too easily. Is polyurethane a good option? Water-based or solvent? Any brands that actually last?

Polyurethane paints are excellent for high-traffic or industrial-ish areas – much harder and more chemical-resistant than standard floor paints. I used a 2-pack PU on my garage floor; prepped well, applied with roller, and it’s taken oil spills, hot tyres, and sweeping without chipping after over a year.

Juno or Tikkurila PU options are popular for floors/metal. Gloss level helps with cleaning.
