What Is Epoxy Flooring?

Epoxy refers to a type of floor coating comprising a two-part resin and a hardener. When mixed, the resin and hardener react to form a rigid material.

Known for its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals, stains, and abrasions, epoxy continues to gain popularity as a reliable floor coating option for both residential and commercial applications.

Many property owners use epoxy to protect their floors and give them an attractive look with an enhanced aesthetic appeal. On garage floors, epoxy creates a seamless, non-porous surface that makes it ideal for property owners who use their garages to park their vehicles or as a workshop.

How Epoxy Garage Flooring Improves Your Space

Installing epoxy garage flooring allows you to enjoy several benefits, including:

Aesthetically Appealing

Epoxy garage floor coatings come in various colors and finishes that make it easy for you to customize your floor and create the perfect look for your garage. Whether you want a subtle matte finish or a striking high-gloss finish, you’ll find an epoxy coating to suit your style.

Investing in a visually appealing epoxy floor coating makes your space more inviting and enhances your comfort.

Durable

Epoxy coatings have earned a reputation for their incredible durability. An epoxy garage flooring will withstand heavy foot traffic, spills, and high impact typical of a garage environment. You won’t have to worry about oil spills or tire marks damaging your concrete floor.

Easy To Clean and Maintain

Everyone loves a clean, spotless floor, but very few people enjoy the actual cleaning process. An epoxy coating makes cleaning and maintenance a hassle-free affair. Simply sweep, vacuum, or mop your garage floor to remove dirt and debris.

The coating’s smooth surface prevents the buildup of dirt and grime, making epoxy ideal for people with allergies or respiratory conditions.

Easy To Install

An epoxy coating is just what you need to give your boring or damaged garage floor a much-needed facelift without replacing the entire floor. These coatings provide a smooth finish that self-levels and covers up any issues with your current flooring.

Safe

Epoxy garage floors boast slip-resistant properties that make your floor safe by preventing slip-and-fall accidents. Epoxy will also resist fire and heat, making it an ideal choice for workshops or other areas where heat may be a concern.

Long Lasting

When you have a professionally installed and well-maintained epoxy floor, you won’t have to worry about replacing your garage floor for a long time.

Professional Epoxy Installation

While you may opt for an epoxy DIY installation, hiring an expert to install your epoxy coating guarantees the best results. While typically a step up from garage floor paint, DIY epoxy kits often succumb to cracking, flaking, and discoloration, forcing users to replace them soon after installation.

Hiring a professional allows you to enjoy superior product knowledge and excellent workmanship. Our epoxy installation experts at Coating Designs will handle everything from start to finish.

Below, we break down our industry-leading six-step epoxy garage flooring installation process.

  • Step 1: Grinding: We use a diamond grinder to etch the concrete surface for maximum adhesion before ridding the surface of excess dirt with a vacuum.
  • Step 2: Repair: We use a 100% solid patch to fix any cracks or imperfections.
  • Step 3: Coating: We apply a self-leveling pure epoxy base coat.
  • Step 4: Flaking: We broadcast a generous amount of polymer flake by hand to give your floor color and texture.
  • Step 5: Scraping: We scrape off all excess flakes to prepare for the final coat.
  • Step 6: Sealing: We seal the floor with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. Your new floor will be ready to handle light foot traffic in about seven hours.

We customize our floor coating options to meet your needs and budget. For example, we offer an epoxy top and base for the lower end, an epoxy base and polyaspartic top for the mid-range, and a full polyaspartic coating for top-of-the-line applications.

What are concrete coatings?

Our epoxy floor coatings are a concrete resurfacing option that is installed over existing concrete floors for both interior and exterior concrete. All of our coatings are installed by hand (we do not use any stamps), thus giving our clients a true, one-of-a-kind floor. We install a wide range of flooring systems such as: 100% solid epoxy, concrete stain, acrylic cement, and rubber based products.

Clients have the ability to customize any coating with our various color options and design techniques. Concrete Coatings are used not only in residential, but industrial and recreational settings as well. Premier uses only the highest quality, industrial products on the market to ensure every customer is getting the best value.

How Much Do Your Concrete Floor Coatings Cost?

Each project is customized to your particular concrete flooring needs. Every job we do is different, because we offer different types of coatings and finishes.  We will work with you to develop a free estimate keeping your budget in mind. 

How Durable Are Your Epoxy Concrete Coating Systems??

We use only industrial products on all of our epoxy floor projects. They are designed to give clients the most value and longevity over any other coating material on the market. Just to give you an idea of how strong our products are, we installed an epoxy flake floor in the garage of a Fire Station in 2008 to protect the firehouse’s garage from dirt, debris, salt, and the extreme work environment. Due to our expertise and industrial coatings, we have yet to receive a repair call. Those same products are used in all of our residential projects.

How long does a typical epoxy flooring project take to complete?

A typical residential project takes approximately 3 – 5 days to complete depending on several variables. Variables include, but are not limited to: size of job, repairs and/or preparation requirements, weather, additional design details, customer requests, etc.

What if I already have an existing concrete coating?

Unfortunately, we must grind off any existing coating and repair materials before we can install any of our concrete coatings. This ensures the integrity and longevity of our flooring systems. If you have stamped concrete that has faded, please contact us for options in reviving it.

How Long Do I Need To Stay Off My Concrete Floor Coating After It Is Installed?

If using 100% solids epoxy, your floor will be cured and walkable in about 12-18 hours. You can return to full heavy traffic after about 24 - 72 hours. Wait for at least 24 hours before moving light weight furniture on your brand new concrete coating flooring. Before moving anything heavy (car, equipment and furniture).

How do you prepare concrete for resurfacing?

We start every project by first preparing the concrete for our products. It is imperative that we have a fresh concrete surface before installing our concrete coatings on your project – this will allow our products to have only the BEST mechanical bond.

We spend approximately 66% of the project prepping your floor which may either be by diamond grinding or pressure washing the concrete (depending on the location of the project) and in some cases we do both! Most contractors will come in and just acid wash or not even prep your floor – we get calls all the time about botched installs with customers asking if we can save their project; we must start fresh every time.

Will I Need To Reseal My Concrete Floor Coating?

If you follow our maintenance and cleaning guidelines, you should not have to worry about resealing the concrete floor coating. We offer a professional grade cleaner that will easily remove stains or tire marks, but will also preserve the life of your concrete coating topcoat.

What If My Concrete Floor Has Cracks, Chips And Is Old?

No worries, we are experts in repairing existing problem areas of concrete. In some cases we have been found to be a cheaper alternative over tearing out and replacing existing slabs of concrete. Once we have saved your concrete we then install our decorative designs to hide the flaws and repairs.

How Do I Care For My Concrete Floor Coating?

You can clean our concrete coatings with typical sweeping, mopping or steaming. 

Will Oil Stain My Concrete Floor Coating?

Epoxy floor coatings are extremely resistant to most hazards, including cleaners, gas, oil, transmission fluid, and even most industrial chemicals. Our epoxy concrete coatings system is both oil and moisture resistant.

Who Invented Polyurea Coatings?

Andy Phelan, director of business development and training at Rhino Linings Corporation, explains, “Polyurea was invented in the early 1980s when a less moisture-sensitive form of polyurethane was desired. By replacing the hydroxyl group in the urethane with an amine group, a product we now call polyurea was formed.

What Are Polyurea Concrete Coatings?

Polyurea is useful for concrete floors, as it quickly and strongly bonds to concrete while providing a smooth, virtually impermeable surface that protects the floor from impact, water damage, chemicals, heat, and sunlight.

What Types Of Environments Can Epoxy Floor Coatings Be Used?

Epoxy flooring coatings can be used in a variety of environments.  The durability, slip resistant finish is fantastic for any industrial setting, storefronts, patios, or even driveways or garages.

How Are Epoxy Floor Coatings Applied?

We have perfected a six step process for applying Epoxy Floor Coatings that involves prepping the floor, prime floor with epoxy primer, fill all cracks, holes with epoxy grout, then apply epoxy paint. 

Can I Apply Epoxy Floor Coatings In Cold Temperatures?

You can!  Epoxy can be used at cold temperatures but must be handled and applied with techniques adapted to cold temperatures.

Do I Need To Hire A Professional To Install Epoxy Floor Coating?

Installing Epoxy Floor Coating correctly is critical to the appearance and durability of your flooring.  Hiring a professional is the best way to ensure that your flooring will look amazing and last a lifetime! 

Does My Concrete Floor Coating Come With A Warranty?

The warranty depends on the system. For the Epoxy only and Epoxy with Polyaspartic topcoat, there is a 25-year warranty. For premium Polyaspartic only, there is a 30-year warranty.
