What to Expect From Epoxy Floor Installation
You wouldn’t think that the floors in your commercial business are a significant component of your overall success, but they are. In recent years, epoxy floors have become popular for commercial warehouses and garages, combining form and function to create the perfect work environment built for sustainable operations.
However, there are distinct differences between epoxy flooring done by a professional or by fly-by-night contractors, so if you truly want the best results, then look no further than Diotte Coatings Services for expert epoxy floor installation.
What to Expect Before and After Epoxy Floor Installation
Although trading in your old floors for a newer, shinier one gives you every reason to be overwhelmed with excitement, it is important to know what to expect throughout the installation to ensure you are happy with the final product.
As a business owner, you will know how important the aesthetics and appeal of the workplace are for both customers and employees alike, which is why we advocate epoxy flooring as a superior choice.
So, let’s get started on what to expect before and after the installation:
Before Installation
To ensure the epoxy will bond with the floor properly, the installer will spend a great deal of time preparing the surface for optimal adhesion. First, all items will need to be removed from the workspace. Once the area is clean, the installer will continue prepping by filling in cracks on the cement and performing etching or grinding to ensure the epoxy bonds well.
Once the surface is prepared, the installer will apply a primer and then several coats of epoxy, allowing drying time in between. A clear topcoat can also be added to increase resilience and give a shiny look. The entire installation typically lasts up to five days but varies depending on the level of experience of your service provider.
After Installation
Epoxy floors are impressively easy to clean and maintain. In addition, they are spill and stain-resistant, making them a convenient addition to any workspace. However, be sure to ask your installer if the colour you have chosen will be slippery when wet, as you may want to apply a slip-resistant coating to minimize accidents and labour.
All in all, epoxy floor installation is an investment that your business can rely on for years to come, and with its value-adding benefits, it is an investment that generates an impressive return.
