What is Epoxy Flooring exactly?
Epoxy floor coatings are usually two-part coatings that you mix. They will stick to concrete floors better than any oil-based, water-based or enamel paint. Think epoxy glue type adhesion instead of duct tape adhesion. Your floor will look much better than any conventional paint. It will have a very high gloss finish that will not only make it look great but also waterproof, mold, and mildewproof. The epoxy floor coating cures quickly and is virtually stainproof. Cleaning it is the same as cleaning your Teflon saucepan.

Commercial and residential epoxy flooring in Lehigh Acres
For garage duty traffic, we recommend a rating of 20 mgs or less. This is based on our 30 years of experience. The military grade topcoat version is ideal for garages with big SUVs and tractor trailers. It can take all abuse that you can give it. Commercial duty traffic applications with pallet-jacks, forklifts and shop work (commercial or residence) must be less than 10mgs. If you do not want to see color flake, the Commercial Package can be used for garages. A work shop should avoid using color flakes as it is difficult to locate dropped parts on a flake-floor. Industrial applications or those who want the strongest epoxy floor coating possible, you should apply a coating of 23 mils or thicker. Our ultra military system is specifically made for these types of projects. It comes with a coating thickness of 23-30 mils and a rating of 4mg loss.
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 is no one-size fits all epoxy coating. We offer a variety of epoxy systems and different epoxies. An epoxy floor coating that is not intended for use is one of the most common mistakes.
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. When epoxy garage flooring is being done, these are all good points to factor in.

I recently had my garage floor coated with epoxy by a local service, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The team was professional and efficient, arriving on time and finishing the job within the estimated timeframe.

Epoxy Garage Floor Coating is a Great Choice!
Epoxy is the best option of all flooring solutions. 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.

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.
Is Epoxy Garage Flooring Worth it?
Epoxying garage floors is worth the investment. The epoxy will not only give your garage a professional look, but also repels oil stains, water and can be cleaned like a kitchen counter. Color chips and custom colors conceal imperfections in the concrete. Anti-skid additives provide the grip you need for low-grip days.
Is it possible to epoxy a garage floor yourself?
The process of applying an epoxy coating on concrete floors is the same as painting walls. But like painting, the real trick lies in the preparation. The hard part of the application will seem easy after you’ve done the calculations and made your color choices.
Epoxy bonds well when it has a slightly rough, and completely clean surface. This means repairing cracks and potholes will allow the epoxy to cure completely. 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 the floor is not peeling, it can be repainted.
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 come in many forms, including harsh degreasers, etchers, and safer but less efficient organics. A floor maintainer, which costs about $40 per day, can be rented to cut down on elbow grease.
Most epoxy coatings are supplied in complete kits. Once you have decided on one, decide if you will need extra supplies. Manufacturers might suggest two coats or more of epoxy paint and topcoat. However, most standard kits only allow 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. To make it easier to clean the garage, you might consider covering the garage’s foundation a few inches higher than the ground. The next step is to decide if the finished floor should have an antiskid additive. This could be an option in areas where there is frequent rain or ice.
It’s all about timing once the floor is ready for coating. When the concrete isn’t damp from rain and the temperature is between 60 and 80 degrees, you can start the job. Otherwise if temperatures are below 50 degrees, the application could bubble and 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. Once the entire floor is dry, you will need to keep your car off it for at least 72 hours.
What are the drawbacks to epoxy garage flooring?
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 after time may also start to peel. The epoxy is not prepared correctly is what you will most likely be told.
The temperature of your tires can reach 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 takes longer to install than rollout garage mats and interlocking garage tiles. Additionally, there are dry times between coatings. This means that epoxy flooring can take 2-3 days to complete a 2 1/2-car garage. However, the labor hours required to complete the job is only 6-8.

How long can garage epoxy flooring last?
It can vary and it is almost the same answer that you get for how long a car will last. Epoxy longevity is dependent on the quality of epoxy used, floor prep before and traffic received. The average epoxy coating can last between 20 and 25 years with the right military-grade topcoat. Topcoats are easy to apply. Just a quick/light sanding with 120 grit is enough to make the floor look brand new.
How long does it take for epoxy garage flooring to be installed?
Allow 2 days for grinding and 3 days for acid-etching. While the labor required is approximately 3-5 hours, it’s important to remember that you must wait for your floor to dry after acid etching. Then you need each layer of coating to dry. This extends the time by 2-3 days.

Can epoxy garage flooring be used in commercial settings?
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. Our “Garage Floor Epoxy”, installations can be used in commercial applications if the epoxy flooring primer is used and a military-grade topcoat option is used. Metallic Epoxy Flooring works well in commercial applications, as it is made up of three layers with high-performance primer and high-build military grade metallic epoxy. The topcoat is military grade 4 mg and has a low abrasion rate.
How much does epoxy garage floor coatings cost?
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. There are also military-grade epoxy systems for different applications. However, we don’t do one epoxy that fits all like 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.
But the most important thing is to think about what your cost of ownership is. 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 the most affordable in time and materials? Which is better value? The one you need to continually redo or one that lasts twenty 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. New epoxy garage floors will need only a light sanding and a fresh coat of clear solution, while more worn floors require more work. 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 does not include the labor and time it takes to clean out your garage and re-do your floor.
Polyurea or Epoxy?
If you’re willing to spend more upfront on a durable coating, polyurea concrete coatings can be a great option.
