Got Questions? We Have Answers
How long does an epoxy floor installation take?
Most residential projects, like a standard two-car garage, take between 1 to 2 days to install, depending on the required concrete prep and curing times.
What is the difference between epoxy and concrete polishing?
Epoxy is a protective, resinous coating applied over the concrete. Concrete polishing mechanically grinds down your existing slab using diamond tooling to create a smooth, glossy surface.
How do I clean and maintain my new floors?
Maintenance is incredibly simple! Regularly sweep up dust and debris, and occasionally mop the surface with water and a pH-neutral cleaner to keep it looking pristine.
Can you apply epoxy over cracked or damaged concrete?
Yes. Epic Coatings & Solutions thoroughly preps every floor by diamond grinding and repairing cracks or divots before applying the coating to ensure a flawless finish.
Is polished concrete or epoxy slippery when wet?
While smooth surfaces can be slick when wet, we can add specialized anti-slip aggregates to our epoxy coatings to significantly increase traction and safety.
How long will my new floor coating last?
With proper care, our professional-grade residential epoxy and polished concrete floors can easily last 15 to 20+ years without peeling or lifting.
How long before I can walk or drive on my new floor?
Typically, you can walk on the surface 24 hours after the final topcoat is applied, and you can drive vehicles on it after 48 to 72 hours.
