What is Epoxy Flooring exactly?
Epoxy floor coatings are usually two-part coatings that you mix. They will stick to concrete floors better than any oil-based, water-based or enamel paint. Think epoxy glue type adhesion instead of duct tape adhesion. It will give your floor a dramatic appearance that no other paint can match. The epoxy glue type adhesion will be stronger than duct tape adhesion and will make it waterproof, mold and mildew-proof, as well as being tough as nails. The epoxy floor coating cures quickly and is virtually stainproof. Cleaning it is the same as cleaning your Teflon saucepan.

Commercial and Residential Epoxy Flooring in Bayshore
For garage duty traffic, we recommend a rating of 20 mgs or less. This is based on our 30 years of experience. The military grade topcoat version is ideal for garages with big SUVs and tractor trailers. It can take all abuse that you can give it. For commercial duty traffic, you should have less than 10mgs of abrasion rating for pallet jacks, residential or commercial shop work. The Commercial Package for Garages can be used if you don’t like the flake appearance. Color flakes should not be used in work shops as you may find it difficult to find parts on flake flooring. Industrial applications or those who want the strongest epoxy floor coating possible, you should apply a coating of 23 mils or thicker. The ultra military system was specifically designed for these types projects, with a thickness of 23-30 millimeters and a 4mg loss rating.
We have sold every type of epoxy garage floor available. In the 30 years since we began, we have installed and tested every type of epoxy garage floor so we know what works well and what doesn’t. There is no one-size fits all epoxy coating. We offer many different epoxy systems and epoxies. An epoxy floor coating that is not intended for use is one of the most common mistakes.
We find that 100% Aliphatic combined with a true, urethane epoxy topcoat is the best all-around epoxy garage floor. The abrasion loss rating of this topcoat should be equal to normal traffic loads. If possible, use a primer this will increase your adhesion as well as overall coverage and coating thickness. These are all good points to consider when you make an epoxy garage floor.

Do you want to give your garage floor a final epoxy touch? The epoxy garage floor coating is vibrant and shiny. It will transform your garage into that showroom feel.
Is Epoxy Garage Flooring Worth the Investment?
Epoxying your garage floor is worth the effort. It not only looks professional, but it also resists oil stains and beads of water. Color chips and custom paint colors disguise imperfections in concrete. Anti-skid additives give you the grip that you need during winter conditions.
Can you epoxy garage floors yourself?
The process of applying an epoxy coating on concrete floors is the same as painting walls. But like painting, the real trick lies in the preparation. The actual application will be easy once you have completed the calculations, made your color choices and cleaned up the target area.
For epoxy to bond well, it needs a surface that is even, slightly rough, but completely clean. This means repairing cracks and potholes will allow the epoxy to cure completely. Concrete must be at a minimum 60 days old and without having a sealing applied to it in order to bond with the epoxy. Concrete must be at least 60 days old and not sealed to allow epoxy to adhere. If it does, water will either beads on it or the etching solutions doesn’t foam. In this case, you can remove the sealer using a chemical stripper. (If there is no peeling, you can recoat stained floors.
However, stripping the floor does not clean it. It is important to clean and etch the floor properly. Grease or dirt can compromise epoxy adhesion. There are many cleaners on the market. Make sure you read all ingredients before choosing which one is right for you. Chemical cleaners can be very effective or less effective. For $40 per day, you can rent a machine called floor maintainer.
Most epoxy coatings come as kits. After you have selected the one you like, you can determine if additional supplies are needed. Manufacturers might suggest two coats or more of epoxy paint and topcoat. However, most standard kits only allow for one coat. You can add color flakes to concrete, which will hide its imperfections. However, you need to decide how thick you’ll spread them across the floor. For garages with foundations that rise above foot level, it may be worth coating the vertical surfaces of your garage to make cleaning easier. Decide if you want an anti skid additive. This is typically granules that give your floor a sandpaper look. This option may be beneficial in areas with high ice or rain probability.
The timing is everything once the floor is clean and ready to be coated. The timing is crucial. Choose a day when the concrete is dry from rainy weather, and temperatures are between 50 – 80 degrees. If the concrete is damp, or if the temperature drops below 50 degrees, the coating can bubble up and crack. After you have mixed the epoxy and hardener, the time it takes to dry is approximately 2 hours. Therefore, you need to plan in advance how you want to paint your garage. Waiting is the hardest part. The drying time between each step can take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. You must wait for 72 hours to park your car on the entire floor after it’s dry.
What are the cons of Epoxy Garage Flooring?
Epoxy floor coatings can wear prematurely due to its inability to meet industrial standards. This is not a warranty issue. Another problem is when epoxy starts to peel up. The floor will likely not have been properly prepared. This is usually due to the epoxy quality.
Your tires can heat up to 180 degrees. You shouldn’t use epoxy below 10 Mils of dried thickness. Color flakes, which can displace some epoxy under them, will make it less effective at absorbing heat. These epoxyes won’t be strong enough to prevent epoxy from being activated by hot tires.
Epoxy flooring does have one other drawback. It is more labor-intensive than installing rollout mat garage floors or interlocking tile garage floors. There also have dry periods inbetween coats, because of these the epoxy flooring process can take up to 2 days.

How long does an epoxy garage flooring system last for?
It is a variable answer, and the answer is always the same as for how long a car can last. The epoxy lifespan depends on three things: the epoxy quality, the floor prep and how heavy the traffic is. An epoxy coating of high quality with a proper military-grade topcoat can last 20 years on average in a garage application. Topcoats do not require you to start from scratch. A quick/light sand with 120grit of the topcoat is all you need to clean and rough up the floor before you apply a new topcoat.
How long does it take for epoxy garage flooring to be installed?
Allow 2 days for grinding and 3 days for acid-etching. While the labor required is approximately 3-5 hours, it’s important to remember that you must wait for your floor to dry after acid etching. Then you need each layer of coating to dry. The total drying time is therefore extended to 2-3 days.

Can epoxy garage flooring be used in commercial settings?
Yes. We offer several systems that are suitable for commercial use with or without color flakes. Contact our team for more information about our Commercial Epoxy Systems. Commercial applications can use our garage floor epoxy when we use an epoxy flooring primer and military grade topcoat option. Metallic Epoxy Flooring can be used in commercial applications. It has three layers that use high performance primer, military-grade metallic epoxy, and 4 mg abrasion resistance rated topcoat.
How much does a epoxy garage flooring coating cost?
Okay, this is a complicated question. Let’s answer this question with some caveats. You can find epoxy coatings in a Big Box or online store for as low as $100.00. You can also buy a variety of other epoxies such as polyurea, water-based and cycloaliphatics. All have their own advantages and disadvantages. Military grade epoxy systems are available for various applications. We don’t have one solution that works for all. You can expect to pay between $1.15 – $2.25/sf for a DIY military-grade epoxy flooring kits. This will depend on whether or not you use a primer and what type topcoat you use. Also, depending on whether color flakes are used or not, as well as what epoxy system you select.
You must also consider your total cost of ownership. Take, for example, the garage epoxy floor at $3,000. This epoxy will look great for as long as 20 years before it needs to be refreshed. Take the average epoxy off-the-shelf that costs about $200 and it will last for 2-3 years before it needs to be repainted. So which epoxy costs less in time and materials? Which do you consider as better value? The one that needs to be repainted regularly or the one that can last 20 years. Other epoxy coatings will look worse than you might think. When it comes time to replace them, you’ll need to start again. New epoxy garage floors will need only a light sanding and a fresh coat of clear solution, while more worn floors require more work. Our epoxy will last indefinitely. You can choose to spend the money upfront and never have to recoat, or to buy the epoxy that you only use once knowing it has to be recoated soon. This doesn’t take into account the time it takes to empty out your garage every few years and redo your basement floor.
Polyurea or Epoxy?
If you’re willing to spend more upfront on a durable coating, polyurea concrete coatings can be a great option.
