Can I Use Epoxy to Seal My Plywood Floor on a Budget?

Asked By CuriousCat123 On

Hey everyone! I just pulled up the carpet in my home because of my pets, but installing new flooring is going to break the bank. I'm wondering if sealing the plywood with something like an epoxy (garage style) would work as a cost-effective solution for my 300 sqft area. I'd appreciate any serious advice on this! Thanks in advance.

Yep, epoxy could work, but I think using polyurethane would be a better route since it's cheaper and totally adequate for your needs. You could also consider using floor paint; it’s surprisingly durable and might cost less than polyurethane!

Got any paint recommendations or DIY tutorials for that?

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend epoxy if it's just standard plywood. If you want something, maybe go for polyurethane instead. Just a heads up though, it might not end up looking the best.

You can definitely do a DIY project with that! There are tons of guides out there if you look around. Just keep in mind that pricing and how it actually looks will fall on you. If you make it opaque and level it out, it should turn out alright.
