How do I clean and maintain my epoxy floor?

Epoxy floors are incredibly easy to maintain! Simply sweep away dust and debris and mop with a mild cleaner as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to keep the surface looking its best.

Does epoxy flooring protect against stains and chemicals?

How does epoxy flooring compare to traditional concrete or tile?

Epoxy flooring is stronger, more durable, and easier to maintain than bare concrete or tile. Unlike tile, epoxy has no grout lines, making it seamless and resistant to stains and moisture. It also protects concrete from cracking and wear over time.

Can epoxy flooring withstand heavy vehicles and equipment?

Yes! Our flake-finish epoxy system is designed to handle heavy vehicle traffic, tools, and equipment without cracking or peeling. It’s impact-resistant and can withstand the weight of cars, motorcycles, and even light industrial machinery.

Will my epoxy floor turn yellow or fade over time?

Our high-quality clear topcoat includes UV and chemical resistance, preventing yellowing or fading. This keeps your floor looking sleek and new for years to come.

What happens if my concrete has cracks or imperfections?

Before applying epoxy, we repair minor cracks and imperfections during the grinding and prep stage. While epoxy helps reinforce the surface, it cannot prevent future cracks caused by major structural movement in the concrete.

Is epoxy flooring safe for pets and children?

Absolutely! Epoxy floors are low-VOC, non-toxic when cured, and easy to clean, making them a great option for homes with pets and kids. The flake texture also improves slip resistance for added safety.

Can epoxy be installed in outdoor areas?

While epoxy is mainly designed for indoor spaces like garages, basements, and workspaces, we can discuss UV-resistant options if you’re considering an outdoor application.
