Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does epoxy flooring last in residential garages?
With proper surface preparation and a polyaspartic topcoat, garage floor epoxy can last 10 to 20 years. It resists salt, oil, and tire wear common in Glenfield‑Jane Heights.
2. Can epoxy floors be installed in high-moisture basements?
Yes, we use moisture barrier systems and concrete resurfacing techniques to ensure strong adhesion and prevent peeling or bubbling in damp basement conditions.
3. Is flake epoxy flooring safe for families with kids and pets?
Absolutely. Flake systems include anti-slip textures that add grip and reduce the risk of slipping in busy home areas like basements or garages.
4. What surface prep is required before installing epoxy?
We use shot blasting, diamond grinding, or crack repair to profile the surface. This ensures your epoxy floor bonds properly and performs long-term.
5. Can I apply epoxy over existing concrete with cracks or damage?
Yes. We repair cracks, fill joints, and level the surface before applying any system like solid color or quartz epoxy to ensure a smooth finish.
6. What’s the difference between metallic and solid color epoxy floors?
Metallic systems offer a decorative, high-gloss look with swirled patterns, while solid color systems create a clean, uniform finish ideal for garages and commercial spaces.
7. Do epoxy floors need special maintenance after installation?
Epoxy floors are low maintenance. Regular sweeping and light mopping keep them clean, and the topcoat resists stains, chemicals, and daily wear without waxing.
