Epoxy Flooring Serives
Epoxy flooring is a high-performance, durable floor coating applied over concrete to create a strong, long-lasting, and visually appealing surface. It is made by mixing epoxy resin with a hardener, which undergoes a chemical reaction to form a rigid, plastic-like material that bonds tightly to the floor. Whether you need a surface appropriate for high-traffic areas, chemically resistant epoxy coatings, textured coatings, or applications featuring intense, bright colors, FC Polished Concrete and Flooring Prep has just the right epoxy flooring application home and business owners need for a sustainable and stunning final result.

How It Works
Epoxy Floor Installation
The application of epoxy flooring requires a specific multi-step process to ensure a strong, long-lasting bond.
- Surface Preparation: The concrete surface is cleaned thoroughly, ensuring it is free of dirt, grease, or oil. Diamond grinding or shot blasting is done to make the surface porous and even. Cracks and imperfections are repaired using an epoxy filler.
- Primer Coat: A low-viscosity epoxy primer is applied. This seals the concrete pores, prevents bubbling, and establishes a solid base for the next layers.
- Intermediate Coat: The primary epoxy layers are applied using tools like a squeegee and roller. For decorative finishes, colored vinyl flakes or metallic pigments may be added at this stage
- Topcoat: A protective topcoat, typically made of urethane or polyaspartic, is applied for added durability, UV stability, and a polished finish.
- Curing: The floor is left to cure, with light foot traffic allowed after 24 hours. Full curing for heavy use may take 72 hours or more.
