An epoxy floor coating can be made from two parts. It is easy to mix and adheres to any concrete floor, garage or other surface. You will get a more dramatic floor with an epoxy floor coating that has a high gloss finish that is unmatched by any other paint. It will also be waterproof and mold and mildew resistant. The epoxy floor coating cures quickly and is virtually stainproof. Cleaning it is the same as cleaning your Teflon saucepan.
After 30 years of experience, we know that for garage duty vehicle traffic, you need a 20-mg or lower abrasion rating. We offer a military-grade topcoat version for garages with big SUVs, tractor trailers, or workshops. It has an industry-leading 4mg loss rate and can withstand all kinds of abuse. For commercial duty traffic, you should have less than 10mgs of abrasion rating for pallet jacks, residential or commercial shop work. If you don’t want the color flake look, the Commercial Package is ideal for garages. A work shop should avoid using color flakes as it is difficult to locate dropped parts on a flake-floor. If you are looking for industrial epoxy floor coatings or if you just want to get the best, most heavy-duty floor coating available, you will need a coating that is 23 mils thick and has a 6 mg rating. This is exactly what a ultra military system is for. It has a thickness of between 23 and 30 mils and a loss rating of 4 mg.
Our epoxy garage floors have been sold for over 30 years. We have also installed and tested every garage floor epoxy available so we know which ones work best. 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.
Our experience has shown that 100% Aliphatic is the best epoxy for all purposes. It’s combined with a true epoxy topcoat. This topcoat has an abrasion rating that equals traffic load. If you have the funds, a primer can be used to increase adhesion, overall coverage, and coating thickness. These are all good things to consider when constructing an epoxy garage floor.

Epoxy is the best option of all flooring solutions. Epoxy is very versatile. It can be used in almost all applications, as opposed to rubber roll-out mats that might not suit certain floor types. Epoxy is a great choice for DIY projects also, it have a striking look and is very cost-effective. It’s also durable and easy to use. It’s also waterproof and resistant to mold and mildew.
Do you want to give your garage floor a final epoxy touch? You will feel like you are driving into a showroom when you return home with a shiny, colorful epoxy garage floor coating.
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, custom paint colors and anti-skid additives give you the grip and protection you need in bad weather.
Concrete floors can be coated with epoxy just like it is on walls. However the hard work of preparation is the key to success. The hardest part will be the actual application once the calculations are done, as well as the color and cleaning choices are out of the way.
An even, slightly rough and clean surface is necessary for epoxy to bond well. You will need to fill any cracks or holes before applying epoxy. Concrete must be no less than 60 days old and unsealed in order for epoxy to adhere. 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 the floor is not peeling, it can be repainted.
However, stripping the floor is not enough to clean it. The epoxy adhesive will be compromised by grease and dirt, so cleaning and polishing should be done slowly. Different cleaners are made by different manufacturers. Before you decide which type of cleaner is best for your needs, make sure to read the ingredients. Chemical cleaners are available in many different forms. They can range from powerful degreasers and etchers to more gentle, but less effective organics. For $40 per day, you can rent a machine called floor maintainer.
You will usually find epoxy coatings in kits that contain everything you need. After you have selected the one you like, you can determine if additional supplies are needed. Although manufacturers may recommend two coats of epoxy paint or topcoat, most standard kits will only provide enough 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. You may also want to coat the garage’s vertical surfaces if the garage’s foundation is higher than the floors surface. You can then decide whether to add an anti-skid additive. Granules will give the finished floor a sandpaper like surface. This could be an option in areas where there is frequent rain or ice.
It all comes down to the timing of applying the coating once the floor has been cleaned. You should choose a day when your concrete isn’t damp from rain or when it’s between 50 to 80 degrees. Otherwise, the epoxy paint and hardener can bubble and crack. Once you have mixed the epoxy paint, it will take you about two hours to finish the work. If you plan ahead, you should start in the back corner of your garage and work towards the garage door. Waiting can be the hardest part. It takes anywhere between 12 to 24 hours for each step to dry. After the floor has dried completely, it is important to wait 72 hours before parking your car on the floor.
Epoxy floor coatings can wear prematurely due to its inability to meet industrial standards. This, however, 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. Any epoxy with a thickness below 10 Mils will not absorb heat, especially if it is coated with color flakes. These flakes can displace some epoxy underneath them and leave a thinner coating. Some of the other types epoxies will not have sufficient thickness.
Epoxy flooring’s only drawback is its labor-intensive nature. For an average garage with 2 1/2 cars, epoxy flooring requires about 2-3 days to complete.
It all depends on the epoxy used and how long it has been in use. The quality of epoxy used, floor preparation quality and traffic all affect epoxy longevity. A good quality epoxy coating and a military-grade topcoat will last for 20 years in a garage. 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.
Allow 2 days for grinding and 3 days for acid-etching. Although it takes about 3-5hrs to finish, each layer of coating must be allowed to dry. The total drying time is therefore extended to 2-3 days.
Yes, our systems can be used for commercial applications with or without color flakes. Our team is available to answer your questions about our Commercial Epoxy Systems. Even “Garage Floor Epoxy”, can be used commercially if the epoxy primer and military-grade topcoat are used. Metallic Epoxy Flooring’s three-layer construction with high-performance primer, high-build metallic epoxy and military-grade topcoat (4 mg) makes it ideal for commercial use.
This is a difficult question. It’s like asking the price of a car. Let’s answer this question with some caveats. There are two options where you can buy for as little as $100, go to a Big Box retailer or to an online megastore to buy epoxy coatings. You have many options. There are water-based, polyurea, and cycloaliphatics. They all have their advantages. There are military grade epoxy solutions for various applications. Unfortunately, we don’t make one epoxy fits all solution. The average DIY military grade epoxy floor kit costs between $1.15 – 2.25/sf, depending on whether you use a primer or topcoat, if color flakes are required, and what type of epoxy system is being installed.
But the most important thing is to think about what your cost of ownership is. For example, let’s consider a garage epoxy floor costing $3,000. It will remain looking great for at least 20 years before it needs a refresh. 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. What epoxy is more affordable in time and materials? Which one is more expensive? The one that you have to redo every other year or the one that lasts for 20 years. The downside to epoxy coatings that are not waterproof is that they can become shabby much quicker than you think. Also, if it does get too worn down, you’ll have to start again. A new epoxy garage floor will require a light sanding in order to clean it and to roughen it up, before applying a coat of clear solution to make it look brand new. Our epoxy will last indefinitely. The choice is yours to make: do you choose the epoxy with the lowest upfront cost and the most frequent recoating? This doesn’t take into account the time it takes to empty out your garage every few years and redo your basement floor.
Polyurea concrete finishes are an excellent choice if your budget allows for more investment upfront, but you want a lasting coating.
