  • How long does my epoxy flooring installation take?

    The duration for installing epoxy flooring varies based on the area size and job complexity. For instance, areas under 4,000 square feet may require three to four days, while larger projects could take several weeks or even months.

  • What kind of preparation is required before my epoxy flooring is installed?

    Proper surface preparation is essential for a strong bond and smooth finish. This involves sweeping away dust, mopping with warm water and a gentle cleanser, and repairing any cracks, pits, or gouges.

  • How many epoxy coats are needed?

    Typically, epoxy flooring needs multiple coats. It starts with an epoxy primer, followed by a metallic epoxy coating, then a clear coat. An additional polyurethane coat may also be applied. Request an estimate from Flooring Install Services to get started!

  • What is the difference between epoxy and polyurethane, and do I need both?

    Using both epoxy and polyurethane is crucial. Epoxy bonds the system to the concrete but can yellow and chalk under UV light and lacks the stain and abrasion resistance of polyurethane. Polyurethane, applied over epoxy, provides a high-gloss shine, prevents fading, oxidizing, and chalking, and is easy to clean.

  • What are the benefits of epoxy flooring?

    • Easy Maintenance: Simply sweep and mop, with no sanding or polishing needed. Reapply a topcoat every 5 to 7 years or as recommended.
    • Moisture and Stain Resistance: Resistant to spills and stains, including harsh chemicals like oil.
    • Slip Resistance: Despite the high-gloss finish, epoxy is slip-resistant.
    • Customization: Available in various colors, patterns, and swirls, enhancing property value and business appeal.
