FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions.
Here are some common questions about Epoxy Flooring.

Why do I need an epoxy floor?

Over time, even the best concrete floors begin to deteriorate and revert back to the ingredients comprising concrete, (sand, gravel and water), causing divots, cracks and chips. A professionally applied epoxy floor will seal and protect the concrete from elements that break down the floor as well as provide an easy to clean, aesthetic appearance.

How long does the entire application process take?

Generally 2-3 days, depending upon the type of floor treatment you choose.

What things should I prepare before the installation process begins?
As in any worthwhile home repair or remodeling project (carpeting, painting, replacement windows, etc.), there are a few minor inconveniences – household goods/autos will have to me moved off the floor for the duration of the installation/curing process (5 to 6 days total for installation & curing), and there will be some odor which will dissipate after the floor cures. However, as in any similar project, the benefits far outweigh the temporary inconvenience.

Will the surface be slippery?

The floor surface texture can be made to your specification, as smooth or textured, as you like. Smooth surfaces, though slightly easier to broom can be slippery when wet. Texturing can be applied to greatly enhance traction.

How long will the floor take to dry?

You’ll be able to walk on your new floor 24 hours after completion of the final application. After 72 hours the floor will be sufficiently cured to allow for your automobiles and household items.

Why does the floor look mottled or transparent after the first application?

The first application is a primer coat, which mechanically bonds to the pores in the concrete. The primer is only the first step in the process.

Will the application of epoxy change the grade of level of the floor?

No, the epoxy coating will follow the contour of the floor, however, we do repair cracks, holes and divots before applying the epoxy flooring.
