Choosing the Right Flooring Application
Not every concrete floor requires the same type of system. The intended use of the space is one of the first factors to consider.
Residential Spaces
Home garages and workshops often need protection from vehicle traffic, dirt, tire marks, tools, and everyday spills. A residential epoxy flooring system can be selected around these conditions while providing a finished surface that is easier to clean.
Commercial Properties
Businesses may require flooring that can accommodate customers, employees, equipment, deliveries, and regular cleaning. Commercial epoxy flooring can be adapted to different business environments depending on the property's concrete condition and daily traffic.
Industrial Facilities
Industrial environments may involve heavier loads, machinery, equipment, and more demanding working conditions. These projects require careful consideration of the concrete, preparation process, and flooring system specifications.
Exterior Concrete
Outdoor surfaces need to account for environmental exposure in addition to normal foot traffic. The coating system should be appropriate for the location and the conditions the concrete will experience.
Why Concrete Preparation Matters
The condition of the concrete beneath the flooring system plays an important role in the finished result. Coatings are not designed to hide every underlying problem, which is why preparation should be treated as a key part of the installation.
Before coating, the concrete may need to be cleaned, mechanically prepared, repaired, or otherwise treated to create a suitable surface. Existing coatings, cracks, surface deterioration, oil contamination, and moisture conditions can all affect how the project should be approached.
Proper preparation helps create the surface conditions required for the flooring system to bond effectively with the concrete.
Floor Finishes for Your Flooring System
Once the appropriate flooring application has been determined, the finish can help establish the appearance of the completed floor.
Flake Epoxy Finish
Flake Epoxy Finish uses decorative flakes distributed throughout the flooring system to create a textured, multi-color appearance. It is commonly considered for garages and other areas where a practical decorative surface is desired.
Metallic Epoxy Finish
Metallic Epoxy Finish creates flowing visual patterns through metallic pigments incorporated into the coating system. The finished appearance can provide a more decorative option for spaces where visual impact is an important consideration.
Solid Concrete Finish
Solid Concrete Finish provides a more consistent and uniform appearance without the decorative effects of flakes or metallic pigments. It can be suitable for properties where a simple, clean-looking finished floor is preferred.
A Flooring Process Built Around the Existing Concrete
Every project begins with the surface that is already there. Understanding the condition of the concrete helps determine what preparation and flooring system may be appropriate.
The process may include:
Concrete Evaluation — Examining the slab for cracks, damage, existing coatings, contamination, and other conditions.
Surface Preparation — Cleaning and mechanically preparing the concrete to establish an appropriate surface profile.
Concrete Repairs — Addressing cracks, holes, damaged areas, or other surface conditions when necessary.
Flooring System Selection — Choosing a system based on the property's use, traffic, exposure, and desired appearance.
Coating Installation — Applying the selected flooring materials according to the requirements of the system.
Finish Application — Incorporating the selected flake, metallic, or solid concrete finish where applicable.
Curing — Allowing the completed flooring system to cure properly before the space returns to normal use.
