Dragging a heavy object with steel legs across it, for example, would be damaging. An epoxy floor can succumb to scratching like ordinary concrete is but properly looked after it can be exceedingly durable and will last many years looking beautiful.

How do I clean my epoxy floor?

A broom, dust mop or a leaf blower can be used for light cleaning. Standard ammonia water applied with a mop is perfect for deeper cleaning. Never use soaps as they tend to leave a murky surface that can be very slippery when wet.

Won’t the repair work cause a lot of mess around my home or shop?

The grinding system we use creates no dust and we do not leave a mess after completing our job.

How long do I have to wait before I can walk or drive on the surface?

From experience, you should be able to walk on the epoxy floor surface in 24 to 48 hours. The surface is good for driving on within 3 to 5 days. It may take shorter or longer depending on the time of year and range of temperature.

Can this be used outdoors as well as indoors?

Yes. Epoxy flooring can be applied to floor surfaces of patios, sidewalks, breezeways, porches and steps of stairways.

Is the floor slippery?

We use a flake floor system that makes the floor no more slippery than standard concrete when wet. A flake system floor gives a texture feel to it and is normally no more slippery than regular concrete when wet. We can also add slip resistant additives to the topcoats that makes the floor less slippery.
