Filling saw-cut joints in your garage floor with epoxy resin can be beneficial, depending on specific circumstances. Here are some considerations to help you decide:

Advantages of Filling Saw Cut Joints:

1. Preventing dirt and debris accumulation: Filling the joints can help keep dirt, dust, and debris from settling in the gaps, making the floor easier to clean and maintain.

2. Reducing water intrusion: If water is able to enter through the joints, filling them can help prevent moisture concerns, which could lead to issues like mold or damage over time.

3. Improving aesthetics: Filling the joints can give the flooring a finished look and minimize the appearance of cracks and gaps.

4. Preventing further damage: Filling the joints can help prevent the edges from chipping or cracking, which can happen if the joints remain open.

Disadvantages of Filling Saw Cut Joints:

1. Cost and Labor: Filling joints can require additional materials and labor, which could be a consideration if budgets are tight.

2. Flexibility: In some cases, leaving joints open can allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the concrete slab, especially in areas with significant temperature fluctuations.

Recommendation: If you decide to fill the joints, we recommend using a flexible epoxy paste or a dedicated polyurea joint filler that is designed for concrete that can accommodate movement. Always ensure the joint is clean and dry before applying the sealant. If you're unsure, give us a call and we'll provide further insights tailored to your specific garage floor conditions.
