Epoxy resin coating requires a clean and slightly porous surface to adhere properly and may not bond well to polished or sealed concrete. Concrete also must be fully cured before application. Before applying the floor coating, it is important to repair all major cracks and chips in the concrete surface and to remove all grease so as to not disrupt the smooth look and feel of epoxy application. If the concrete is old, we will review or test the surface for previous layers of epoxy or other products that might have been applied over the years.

To test for sealant, pour a small amount of water onto the floor and watch for it to soak in. If the water doesn’t soak in and instead beads on the surface, it likely has been sealed and may not be suitable for an epoxy coating. Before beginning the application process, we make certain the room temperature and follow all other manufacturer recommendations, as the wrong temperature can cause the epoxy to bubble and peel. In most instances, application requires degrees at or over 70 degrees fahrenheit. Epoxy is a two-part liquid that is mixed before application, and once mixed, there is a limited time frame to apply the epoxy resin coating before it starts to harden.
