Epoxy flooring is a seamless surface coating created by mixing resin and hardener, which chemically bond to form a rigid plastic material. This durable coating adheres to properly prepared concrete surfaces, creating a strong, long-lasting floor with excellent resistance to chemicals, stains, and wear.
Epoxy flooring is versatile and can be installed in numerous settings including garages, basements, commercial kitchens, warehouses, industrial facilities, retail spaces, hospitals, and residential living areas. It’s suitable for almost any concrete surface that needs protection and enhancement.
With proper installation and maintenance, residential epoxy floors typically last 10-15 years, while commercial and industrial applications can last 5-10 years depending on traffic volume and conditions. High-quality epoxy in low-traffic areas may last 20+ years.
A typical residential garage installation takes 2-4 days, while larger commercial projects may take 3-7 days or longer. The timeline includes surface preparation, application of multiple layers, and curing time. Weather conditions and humidity can affect this timeline.
Epoxy is best applied to clean, properly prepared concrete. While it can sometimes be applied over existing epoxy or tile, success depends on the condition of the underlying surface. We always assess existing floors to determine the best approach for long-term durability.
Proper preparation is crucial and includes:
Installation requires temperatures between 10-30°C for optimal results. Lower temperatures slow curing time, while higher temperatures accelerate it. We assess environmental conditions before beginning any project to ensure proper curing.
