Epoxy flooring: what is it?
Epoxy flooring is a multi-step coating system applied over concrete. It typically includes mechanical surface prep, crack repair, epoxy base coats, optional decorative flakes, and a clear topcoat. A durable result depends on concrete profile, moisture control, and proper cure time.
Scope for epoxy floor coating services
This service includes: epoxy coating over concrete with prep, repair, coating application, and finishing.
This service does not include:
- Primary concrete replacement or structural slab repair

Final system specs are confirmed during the estimate based on slab condition and space use.

Concrete prep standards
Epoxy fails when the slab is not profiled correctly and cleaned. Prep is the primary driver of adhesion.
Surface evaluation
Check cracks, spalling, divots, and weak concrete Check for moisture risk and water intrusion Identify old sealers, paint, adhesives, and contamination
Mechanical profile prep
Diamond grinding or equivalent profiling Remove weak surface layers and open concrete pores Create a bonding profile for epoxy adhesion
Repairs before coating
Fill cracks and minor defects Smooth repairs so they do not print through Address edges and transitions that can peel
Practical insight: A slab can look dry and still have moisture vapor pressure. Moisture checks protect the system
Cure time and conditions
Epoxy cure depends on temperature and humidity, even indoors.
- Avoid coating when conditions prevent proper cure
- Plan dry time before foot traffic
- Plan the cure time before vehicles and heavy loads
- Adjust the schedule if the slab is cold, damp, or actively wet
Maintenance and cleaning for epoxy floors
A clean maintenance plan protects the sheen and reduces scratches.
Routine cleaning
- Sweep or dust-mop to remove grit that causes micro-scratches
- Use a pH-neutral cleaner diluted in water for regular mopping
- Rinse if cleaner residue remains, so the floor does not look hazy
- Wipe spills early, especially oil, coolant, or household chemicals
Products to avoid
- Harsh degreasers that leave residue or dull the topcoat
- Strong acids or high-alkaline cleaners that can haze the finish
- Abrasive pads or gritty powders that scratch the surface
- Bleach-heavy mixes used repeatedly on coated floors
How to reduce hot-tire pickup
Hot-tire pickup is more likely when cure time is rushed, or tires track heat and plasticizers onto the coating.
- Follow the vehicle-ready cure timeline given after installation
- Avoid parking hot tires on the coating until the whole cure window is complete
- Keep tires clean if the vehicle is driven through heavy oil, tar, or fresh asphalt
If a floor is used hard early, the coating can mark before it fully hardens. Cure planning protects the finish.
