FAQ

Epoxy coatings are a mixture of resin and a hardening chemical that creates a smooth and even finish. Epoxy flooring is a coating that can be applied to concrete to create a durable, waterproof, slip resistant, and stain resistant surface. Some of our flooring options are UV resistant and antimicrobial. Apply to garages, basements, pool decks, industrial spaces, retail locations, restaurants, schools, modern office buildings, modern living rooms, showrooms, hospitals, and more.

 popular commercial and residential garage floor coating, epoxy can be installed anywhere with existing concrete. We’ve installed our epoxy and polyaspartic coatings to garages, basements, pool decks, industrial spaces, retail locations, restaurants, schools, modern office buildings, modern living rooms, showrooms, hospitals, and more.

Professional preparation is the first step in ensuring a long-lasting strong bond, as well as a smooth and beautiful finish. We will repair cracks, pits, gouges, and spalling. If needed, we will shot blast or grind your concrete to level the flooring and ensure previous coatings are fully removed.

Installation time varies on the type of epoxy you choose and how large an area we must coat. With a solid color basic coating your floor will cure and dry the same day—but this does not include prep time. Prep time can vary greatly depending on the condition of your existing concrete. Most of our projects take 1 to 2 days to prep, clean, coat, and cure before you can move items back in.

The benefits of epoxy floor paint are many, including but not limited to:

  • Price is a top factor as it’s inexpensive to install and long-lasting.
  • It’s easy to clean simply sweep and mop, no sanding or polishing is required. Just reapply a topcoat every 5 to 7 years, or as directed by your epoxy flooring expert.
  • It’s moisture and stain resistant so if you spill a harsh chemical such as oil it won’t stain and won’t seep through.
  • Although the finish is high-gloss epoxy is slip resistant.
  • Epoxy can be personalized with a variety of colors, patterns, and swirls which can increase the property value of your home or make your business stand out.

When properly prepped, professionally installed, and regularly maintained epoxy floor covering will last longer than most other flooring options. In harsh industrial environments, your flooring will last 8 to 10 years. In your office and moderate commercial environments (garages, basements, schools, hospitals, showrooms) your flooring can last up to 20 years if it is properly sealed every 5 years or so. With proper cleaning, maintenance, and resealing they can last 15 to 30 years in your home.

It’s a common misconception that epoxy concrete coatings are slippery. This is easy to understand because epoxy has a seamless and glossy surface. Generally, epoxy is very safe to walk on when it’s clean and dry with similar grip to a basketball court. If you are concerned about skid resistance, especially if the floor will get wet such as in a commercial setting or garage, we recommend a slip-resistant additive, epoxy quartz flooring, or epoxy flake flooring which all offer a textured surface.

Caring for your epoxy flooring is easier than you may think. You can just sweep and mop your floor regularly to keep it looking its best. Epoxy flooring in a garage or commercial setting can even be pressure washed and squeegeed as long as you have adequate cove protection installed.
 
While very hardy, epoxy flooring can still be damaged. Use mats at doorways to prevent tracking moisture and grit on your shoes onto the epoxy where it can become imprinted in the floor. Most cleaning products are perfectly safe to use on epoxy but you should avoid acidic products that can degloss the epoxy coating. Soap-based products won’t damage an epoxy concrete floor but they will leave a dangerously slippery buildup on the surface. If your epoxy does develop stains, they can typically be lifted easily with a soft brush and TSP or CLR.
