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 concrete floor a stunning look that can rival any traditional paint. When cured, epoxy floors are stain-proof and can be cleaned in the same way as your Teflon pot.
For garage duty traffic, we recommend a rating of 20 mgs or less. This is based on our 30 years of experience. 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 that use forklifts pallet jacks, or shop work (commercial or residential), you must have a rating of less than 10mgs. The Commercial Package for Garages can be used if you don’t like the flake appearance. Also, we recommend that you do not use color flakes in your work shop. You won’t be able to find dropped parts on flake floors. Industrial applications and those looking for the most durable floor coatings available, such as for heavy duty industrial applications, should use coatings 23 mils thick or more and have a minimum 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. There are many epoxy systems and epoxies that we offer. An epoxy floor coating that is not intended for use is one of the most common mistakes.
We believe that 100% Aliphatic epoxy with a true Urethane epoxy topcoat, which has an equal abrasion-loss rating is suitable for the average traffic load, is the best. If budget allows, a primer is a good option to increase your adhesion, overall coverage and coating thickness. These are all good things to consider when constructing an epoxy garage floor.

Epoxy flooring is the most versatile of all flooring options. Epoxy is flexible and can be used for any type of application. This is in contrast to rubber rollout mats which might not work well for certain applications. Epoxy can give you a dramatic appearance, it’s cost-effective when used as a DIY project and is extremely durable. It’s waterproof, mold and mildew-proof, and extremely chemical resistant.
Want to make your garage floor shine? 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 flooring is worth it. It gives you a professional look and resists oil stains. 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 hard part of the application will seem easy after you’ve done the calculations and made your color choices.
For epoxy to bond well, it needs a surface that is even, slightly rough, but completely clean. It is important to patch any cracks or potholes before apply epoxy garage flooring. Concrete must be at least 60 days old, and it must not have been sealed to allow epoxy to stick. 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 the floors are not peeling or stained, they can be restored.
However, stripping the floor is not enough to clean it. Grease and dirt can cause epoxy adhesion to be compromised, so cleaning and/or etching is an important step. 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. Renting a machine called a “floor maintainer” for $40 per day can help you cut down on the work.
Most epoxy coatings come in kits that include everything you need. After you have selected the one you like, you can determine if additional supplies are needed. While manufacturers might recommend two coats, most standard kits provide only enough to cover one coat. To hide concrete’s imperfections, color flakes may be added to the epoxy garage floor. Make sure you know how thick you plan on spreading them. For garages with foundations that rise above foot level, it may be worth coating the vertical surfaces of your garage to make cleaning easier. You can then decide whether to add an anti-skid additive. Granules will give the finished floor a sandpaper like surface. This is a great option for areas that are prone to ice and rain.
It all comes down to the timing of applying the coating once the floor has been cleaned. It is important to choose a day when the concrete will not be dampened by rain and the temperature is between 50-80 degrees. Otherwise, it can bubble or peel. 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. 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. The epoxy can also begin to peel. Most likely, you’ll be told that the epoxy wasn’t properly prepared. In most cases, however it is the epoxy quality.
Your tires can heat up to 180 degrees. If you use epoxy less than 10 Mils in dry thickness. It won’t be able to absorb heat. The epoxy you use will not be thick enough to absorb heat from 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.
It’s a variable question that can be answered in the same way as how long a car can live. 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 are easy to apply. Just a quick/light sanding with 120 grit is enough to make the floor look brand new.
If you are grinding your floor, allow at least 2 days and 3 days for acid etching. Although the actual labor time is about 3-5 hours, you will need to wait for your floor after acid etching has completed. After that, you will need to allow each coating to dry. The total drying time is therefore extended to 2-3 days.
Yes. Our systems are compatible with both with or without color flakes and can be used in commercial applications. Talk to our team 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.
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 have many options. There are water-based, polyurea, and cycloaliphatics. They all have their advantages. You also have military grade epoxy systems that can be used for different applications. We don’t offer a one-size fits all epoxy system like many of our competitors. 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.
It is important to consider the 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. Now, take an average of two hundred dollars worth of epoxy. It will stay new for only 2-3 years until it is time to be renewed. Which epoxy is actually more expensive 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 can be cleaned and roughened up with a little sanding, followed by a coat of clear resin to restore its original beauty. The epoxy underneath will last for years. It’s up to the customer to decide which epoxy is best for them: the one that you use once, with a lower upfront cost, and permanent 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 coats are a great choice, if you’re willing spend more upfront to get a coating that lasts.
