Epoxy Kings

  • What is epoxy flooring?

    Epoxy flooring is a resilient and protective coating for floors, created using a two-component resin system that forms a chemical bond with concrete. This results in a seamless, enduring surface that offers resistance to stains, impacts, moisture, and chemicals. It's well-suited for residential and commercial applications.
  • Where can epoxy floors be installed?

    Epoxy floors are highly adaptable and can be installed in various locations. In residential settings, they're suitable for garages, basements, laundry rooms, patios, and home gyms. For commercial use, they're ideal for warehouses, retail spaces, restaurants, auto repair shops, and office environments.
  • How long does the epoxy installation process take?

    The installation process for epoxy flooring typically requires 1 to 3 days. The exact duration depends on factors such as surface preparation needs, the area to be covered, and the specific epoxy system being installed. We provide a detailed timeline during the estimation process.
  • How soon may I walk or drive on my new epoxy floor?

    After installation, your new epoxy floor can generally support light foot traffic within 12 to 24 hours. Heavy foot traffic or equipment can be accommodated after 24 to 48 hours, while vehicle traffic is typically safe after 48 to 72 hours. These drying times may vary based on temperature, humidity, and the specific topcoat used.
  • How long will an epoxy floor last?

    With proper installation and minimal upkeep, epoxy floors in residential settings can last between 10 and 20 years. In high-traffic commercial environments, the lifespan typically ranges from 5 to 10 years or more, depending on the level of use and maintenance.
  • Are epoxy floors slippery?

    Epoxy floors can become slippery when wet. However, we offer anti-slip additives such as grit or quartz that can be incorporated to enhance traction. These additives are particularly beneficial in areas like garages, commercial kitchens, and entryways.
  • Can epoxy be applied over cracked or damaged concrete?

    Epoxy can indeed be applied over cracked or damaged concrete, but proper repair is essential beforehand. Our preparation process includes concrete patching and crack filling to guarantee a smooth and stable foundation for the epoxy application.
  • What colors and styles are available?

    We provide a diverse range of color and style options for epoxy flooring. These include solid colors such as gray, tan, black, and white, as well as decorative flake blends, quartz systems, and metallic finishes for a unique, high-gloss appearance. All finishes can be tailored to complement your space and personal style preferences.
  • How do I clean and maintain my epoxy floor?

    Epoxy floors require minimal maintenance. Regular care involves sweeping or vacuuming, followed by mopping with a mild cleaner and warm water. It's important to avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaning products. Unlike some flooring types, epoxy doesn't require waxing or polishing to maintain its appearance.
  • Is epoxy flooring environmentally friendly?

    Epoxy flooring is considered environmentally friendly. Our epoxy systems have low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and are non-toxic once cured. Additionally, by extending the lifespan of existing concrete surfaces, epoxy flooring helps reduce waste over time.
