FAQs

Q: What is epoxy floor coating?

Epoxy floor coating is a combination of hardeners and resins that, when mixed together, create a chemical reaction causing it to harden into a rigid material with very strong bonds. That makes it durable and resistant to some of the most common issues you see with concrete, such as cracks, water damage, stains, and more.

Q: What are the benefits of epoxy floors?

Epoxy flooring is a smooth and seamless surface that is ideal for covering concrete. Because it’s a non-porous surface, it doesn’t stain, and it is extremely resistant to damage and very easy to clean with just mild soap and water. It’s also ideal for rooms or areas that are going to have high traffic, and won’t degrade over time like concrete can. Finally, it doesn’t crack so you don’t have to deal with that unsightly issue like you would with bare or treated concrete flooring.

Q: Why do I need an epoxy sealer on my garage floor?

Unprotected concrete floors will wear, be stained by oils, fluids, and be damaged by the corrosive effects of snow and ice-melting chemicals such as rock salt. Epoxy floor coating protects concrete from wear because it is actually harder and more durable than the concrete itself. Epoxy provides a dense coat that ls and fluids cannot penetrate its surface to soak in and cause staining.

Q: How long does epoxy flooring take to install?

The exact installation time will vary based on the size of the area where you are getting epoxy floor coating, but in general it takes anywhere from two to three days for an average-size garage. It’s important to note that nobody can come in contact with the flooring (walking, driving, etc.) while it hardens for at least 24 to 48 hours, so make sure you’re prepared to seal off the area completely.

Q: Can you treat damaged concrete floors with epoxy?

This depends on the extent of the damage. If it’s just some stains and minor cracks, we can repair those quickly before installing the floor, but if there are significant cracks or water damage, you may need to repair that before applying the epoxy.
