Epoxy Flooring



Every day, floors are subjected to multiple abuses from impacts (falling objects), abrasions (materiel being dragged or pushed), chemical intrusions (spills or cleaners), to thermal agents (variations in temperatures). If your floor is concrete, you’ll need to protect it, as it can only withstand a certain amount of wear and tear. 

Concrete floors are naturally porous and will deteriorate over time, slowly eroding into dust. With the right protection, the floor will last much longer – and look great. Epoxy coatings grip onto the concrete and offer long term protection, keeping long term costs lower. Just like other floor coverings, there are many options and application types to choose from. 

Just like with painting, proper preparation is the key to ensuring a great finished product. The existing floor is roughened up a bit, which gives the resin in the epoxy something to grip on to. Once the concrete is ready, the two-part epoxy is applied to the floor. Color flakes are added when the last coat is still damp and before the clear coat is laid. 

We can also apply your graphics so they look like they are part of your floor. Just imagine – your logo at each entrance, in front of cash registers or anyplace else you’d like to have them.
