Frequently Asked Questions About Epoxy Flooring

Our Madison, MS clients have plenty of questions about their upcoming projects. Here are the most common:

How long does it take to install a full flake garage?

We offer a one and two day system. The area or garage will need to be completely clear of all items before hand.

What is the process?

We first evaluate the concrete to check for moisture content inside of the slab. Then we will grind off completely what is called the cap or first layer off of the slab. The cap prevents epoxy’s or paints from bonding to the concrete. Once the cap is removed and the pores of concrete are opened we apply a thick coat of epoxy and flake to the slab. When that has cured we apply the top coat.

What is epoxy flooring?

Epoxy flooring is a unique floor material for homes and businesses that has steadily grown in popularity over the last 10 years. Once a concrete floor has been ground and prepped, a epoxy resin and a hardening chemical are mixed together. The chemical reaction will turn the mixture harder than the floor it covers within a few hours. The compound is poured onto the concrete and allowed to harden before a second or third layer is applied. This liquid to solid process gives epoxy flooring the ability to be strong, stain resistant, and durable to chemicals and weight. Its most popular applications are in hospitals, schools, garages, and industrial environments. But it can be just as useful for residential living rooms, kitchens, or other rooms types.

What are some of the benefits of epoxy flooring?

There are an immense number of benefits to choosing epoxy flooring. The first and foremost one is the price. The materials and installation costs are not very high, making it an easy investment. It’s also stain resistant. So if you were to spill liquids or chemicals, it would be an easy clean. The glossy surface makes messes a little less stressful. That’s why they’re popular for garages and hospitals. But, recently, they’ve become popular for living rooms, because they’re easy to add designs to. Patterns, swirls, and colors make this durable surface into a piece of art.

Where can Epoxy Flooring be Applied?

Epoxy Flooring can be applied at Schools, Hotels, Industrial Plants, Garages, Libraries, Retail and Shopping Centers, Lobbies, Homes, Patios, Gyms, Kitchens, and Showrooms.
