Things to remember…
Choosing the right floor coating for your space involves understanding both your aesthetic goals and functional needs. Whether you’re enhancing a commercial warehouse or beautifying a residential garage, selecting the appropriate formula and application method is crucial. Ensure long-lasting results and satisfaction by considering factors such as durability, maintenance, and environmental conditions. Our expert team is here to guide you through every step to ensure that your flooring stands the test of time.
Schedule Ahead: Ideal application times vary by region; planning your installation during ideal temperatures can enhance the curing process and finish and reduce debris which can impact the results.
Ventilation Post-Application: Ensure the space is well-ventilated following application to help the coating cure correctly and to maintain air quality.
Spot Maintenance: Address spills/leaks quickly to avoid stains and maintain the integrity of your epoxy coating.
Careful Cleaning: Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemicals such as Comet, as they are too abrasive for epoxy surfaces. Instead, use Soft Scrub and a moderately abrasive scrubbing pad or brush for effective cleaning. It’s also crucial to steer clear of any cleaners containing citrus or acid, including vinegar, as these substances can degrade the epoxy catalyst and damage the flooring.
Regular Inspections: Periodically check your flooring for any signs of wear or damage to address issues promptly.
Understand Your Warranty: Familiarize yourself with the terms of your warranty for peace of mind and to know what’s covered in case of defects.
Consult Professionals for Repairs: If repairs are needed, consult with your Epoxy & Sealing Solutions professional to ensure that your epoxy flooring maintains its aesthetic appeal and durability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We might be able to answer some of your questions here. These are some of the most common questions we get asked.
Is Epoxy better than Polyurea?
The answer to whether epoxy is better than polyurea depends on the specific use and requirements of your project. Both materials have their unique strengths and are better suited to different applications. Epoxy is renowned for its durability and strong adhesion, making it ideal for floors that require a high level of protection and aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, polyurea offers faster curing times, excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations, and UV resistance making it ideal for outdoor applications. Understanding the key characteristics of each can help you determine the best choice for your needs.
How long does an Epoxy floor last?
The lifespan of an epoxy floor can vary based on factors such as foot traffic, maintenance, and the environment in which it is installed. Generally, with proper care and maintenance, an epoxy floor can last between 10 to 20 years. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals help in maintaining the integrity and shine of the floor. For industrial or high-traffic areas, periodic resealing may be required to extend the floor's longevity and preserve its appearance.

I heard Epoxy floors are dangerous. Is this true?
Epoxy floors are not inherently dangerous and can be made even safer through careful installation and additional safety features. To enhance safety, anti-slip aggregates can be added to the epoxy mixture, which significantly improves traction and reduces slip hazards, although this may make the surface somewhat harder to clean. At Epoxy & Sealing Solutions, Inc., we employ a combination of methods and techniques to optimize both the performance and safety of our epoxy floors. We strictly adhere to all safety standards and manufacturer instructions during the installation process. If you have any concerns or need specific safety features, we are here to ensure your epoxy flooring meets all your requirements.
Is Epoxy cheaper than other flooring options?
The cost of epoxy flooring compared to other flooring options depends on several factors, including the area's size, the condition of the existing floor, and any special designs or features requested. Generally, epoxy can be a cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial spaces due to its durability and long lifespan, which means less frequent replacements. Initial installation costs might be higher than some flooring options like basic vinyl or carpet, but epoxy's resistance to damage and easy maintenance can make it more economical in the long run. If you're considering epoxy for its aesthetic appeal and performance, it's worth discussing your specific needs with us to determine the most cost-effective flooring solution for your project.
