What Should I Consider When Getting Epoxy Flooring Installed?
Before applying an epoxy coating, the condition of the existing flooring must be evaluated. If there is no paint, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and prepared first. The ground must be clean enough to accept a new stain, which means that dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants must be removed. It is important to note that if the floor has multiple coats of paint, each coat should be thoroughly sanded down before applying another coat of paint so that it can permeate evenly through all coats of old paint.
In an active household with pets or kids, you should keep in mind that epoxy floors can be slippery when wet and will need regular maintenance and upkeep for them to remain durable and functional. You should also ensure that there is enough space to let your floor dry after cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
-
How long do residential epoxy floors last?Epoxy floors typically last 10 to 20 years, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance and touch-ups. However, it is essential to note that the quality of the epoxy does affect how long your floors will remain attractive and functional.
-
Is epoxy flooring good for homes?Epoxy is a solid choice for residential flooring, as it’s highly functional and protects against wear and tear. It typically doesn’t have the appearance of tile or carpeted floors, so if you’re looking for something along those lines, you might consider other options.
-
What are the disadvantages of epoxy flooring?Epoxy floors can give off strong fumes and an unpleasant smell upon application. Anyone asthmatic should take this into consideration and allow for the epoxy to dry and cure completely. Curing time can typically be anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the size of the project. It’s also important to note that epoxy floors can be slippery when wet. You should consider adding freckling or media to your epoxy floors if you expect to have young children or someone elderly using the space on a regular basis.
-
Do epoxy floors require maintenance?Epoxy floors do require routine cleaning and maintenance to keep them looking good and functioning correctly. Particular floors require more or less maintenance than others, depending on their degree of wear. If your floor is not maintained correctly, it will deteriorate over time.

What Is the Process to Properly Epoxy a Floor?
Our epoxy floor installation team adheres to a detailed, proven process:
- Step One: It is essential that the floor be clean of all dust and residue before starting to prime. For this, you can use an industrial vacuum with a brush roll or sweepers on it for even small particles like dirt to get picked up from your floors.
- Step Two: If the floor has a coating, make sure to remove it with a grinder (this is necessary so that the new epoxy can bond directly to the substrate.) If all of the previous coatings aren’t removed, the risk of premature failure is high.
- Step Three: Acid etching is a standard method of preparing concrete for epoxy coating. The acid removes all grease and oil from the surface, opening up pores so that an even layer coat of sealant can be applied more quickly than before, with no impurities in the way.
- Step Four: Apply epoxy by using a squeegee to create the perfect finish and durability. Multiple coats are usually required for best results, so be sure to follow instructions carefully.
- Step Five (optional): Slip resistance can be improved by adding freckling or media to the floor.
- Step Six: Protect your floor by applying a clear coat of epoxy. This will give it an extra layer of protection and make cleaning up any spills easier.
