FAQs

Epoxy floors are inflexible. Due to rigidity, epoxy is prone to cracking when the foundation experiences slight shifts. This leads to the formation of cracks in the epoxy coating, which can be difficult and expensive to repair. Recoating a new layer of epoxy is often the only solution to fix the problem. If you're looking for dependable professionals to recoat your epoxy garage flooring, contact Concrete & Marble Transformerz today.

At Concrete & Marble Transformerz, our industrial epoxy floor coatings are highly resistant to damage, and we've found that they usually last at least 10 years, even in high-demand environments. This exceeds the lifespan of DIY epoxy floor coatings, which can only last a few years, in our experience. If properly maintained, we've seen that our epoxy garage flooring can even last 20 years or longer without showing stains and damage.

Commercial and industrial epoxy floors are valued for their durability and longevity. This is likely a big part of the reason why the global epoxy coating market size had a value of $40.72 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow from $42.92 billion in 2024 to $63.89 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights.

Epoxy protects concrete floors from stains, moisture, cracks, and damage with a high-performance protective layer. It can also withstand forms of damage, including corrosive liquids, vehicle traffic, and abrasion.

Industrial epoxy garage flooring is great for high-traffic and demanding environments since it binds with the concrete substrate and is stronger than concrete. We've found that this increases the weight load of the concrete with a flexural strength that exceeds 10,000 PSI.

It takes just one to two days for our team to install epoxy garage flooring.

We will begin by making necessary repairs, lifting stains, and diamond grinding your concrete. This part takes the longest.

Once the surface is prepped, epoxy will be installed. Depending on the type of epoxy system, it may take us more than one or two days.

After installation is complete, we advise you to leave your epoxy alone for 24-48 hours before it’s ready for light foot traffic. We also emphasize that you should wait at least five days before you drive on your new garage floor.

It’s easier than you may think. You can sweep and mop your floor regularly to keep it looking great. Epoxy flooring in a commercial setting or garage can be pressure washed and squeegeed as long as you have cove protection installed.

Epoxy flooring is very hard but can be damaged. Use mats at doorways to prevent tracking moisture and grit on shoes where it can become imprinted on the floor.

Most cleaning products are safe to use on epoxy. You should avoid acidic products that can degloss the epoxy coating. Soap-based products will not damage epoxy garage flooring, but they will leave a slippery buildup on the surface. If your epoxy does develop stains, use a soft brush and TSP or CLR.

If your floor is not deeply scratched, surface polishing may bring back an acceptable shine. However, this may result in "shiny scratches" if any of the scratches were deeper than the surface polishing could address. If your floor has deep scratches, is worn badly, or is otherwise damaged, a complete restoration is warranted. This is a decision we will be happy to advise you on. We provide free estimates for all stone restoration work.
