An epoxy floor coating is usually two-part epoxy that you mix. It will stick to your concrete garage floor better than any other oil based, water base or enamel paint. 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. An epoxy floor coating is stain resistant once it has cured. It is easy to clean like a Teflon pan.
Based on 30 years’ experience, garage duty vehicles should have a minimum 20 mgs 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. Commercial duty traffic applications with pallet-jacks, forklifts and shop work (commercial or residence) must be less than 10mgs. 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. For industrial applications and for those who simply want the best floor coating, a coating should be 23 mils thick. 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.
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 isn’t a perfect epoxy coating that will work in every application. We offer many different epoxy systems and epoxies. The biggest mistake people make is to use an epoxy floor coating in applications that it wasn’t designed for.
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 great things to consider when building an epoxy garage floors.

Epoxy flooring is the most versatile of all flooring options. 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 looks great, is affordable, durable, and simple to apply. Epoxy is also water and mold-resistant, as well as chemical resistant.
Do you want to finish your garage with a beautiful epoxy floor coating? 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 and custom colors conceal imperfections in the concrete. Anti-skid additives provide the grip you need for low-grip days.
It is easy to apply an epoxy coating to concrete floors. But, like painting walls, the trick is 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.
Epoxy bonds well when it has a slightly rough, and completely clean surface. This involves repairing any cracks and filling them before applying epoxy. Concrete must be no less than 60 days old and unsealed in order for epoxy to adhere. It is possible to tell if your concrete floor has a sealer by checking to see if water beads on it. Also, etching solutions that don’t foam will be a sign of a sealed floor. If there is no peeling, stained floors can be refinished.
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 manufacturers offer different types and brands of cleaners. Be sure to check the ingredients before you decide on which one you prefer. Chemical cleaners can be very effective or less effective. 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. Once you have decided on one, decide if you will need extra supplies. Although manufacturers may recommend two coats of epoxy paint or topcoat, most standard kits will only provide enough for one coat. Color flakes can be used to hide imperfections in concrete. You need to determine how much you will need and then spread them across your 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 can be useful in rainy and ice-prone areas.
It’s all about timing once the floor is ready for coating. 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 between each step is the hardest part. Drying time is typically 12-24 hours. The floor must be dry for at least 72 hours after being completed.
Epoxy floor coatings often wear out prematurely. This is because the coating was not intended to be industrial grade. This is not a warranty issue. The epoxy will start peeling off after excessive use. Most likely, you’ll be told that the epoxy wasn’t properly prepared. In most cases, however it is the epoxy quality.
The temperature of your tires can reach 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. The epoxy you use will not be thick enough to absorb heat from hot tires.
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 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. The average epoxy coating can last between 20 and 25 years with the right military-grade topcoat. 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.
Grinding your floor should take 2 days, acid etching takes 3 days. It takes only 3-5 hours to complete the work. However, acid etching requires that your floor dry before you can apply each coating layer. This extends the time by 2-3 days.
Yes. We offer several systems that are suitable for commercial use 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 for commercial applications, provided that the epoxy flooring primer has been applied and the military-grade topcoat is chosen. 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.
Okay, this is a complicated question. With some caveats, we’ll answer the question. 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 can also buy a variety of other epoxies such as polyurea, water-based and cycloaliphatics. All have their own advantages and disadvantages. 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.
You must also consider your total cost of ownership. Let’s take, for instance, a garage epoxy floor for $3,000. It will last for 20 years without needing to be repainted. The average off-the-shelf epoxy will look new for about 2-3 years, until it has to be redone. Which epoxy is the most affordable 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. Keep in mind that epoxy coatings can look worn out much faster than you expect. If it’s time for a new coat, you will have to start all over 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 decision is up to you as to which epoxy you prefer, whether it’s the one-time epoxy or the one with a lower upfront price and perpetual recoating. This does not include the labor and time it takes to clean out your garage and re-do your floor.
Polyurea concrete coatings make a great choice for those who are prepared to invest more upfront in a long-lasting coating.
