Frequently Asked Questions

Epoxy flooring is a durable surface coating system that consists of multiple layers of epoxy applied to a concrete floor. Epoxy is a thermosetting resin that creates a hard, protective surface when cured. It's commonly used in garages, commercial spaces, and industrial facilities due to its strength and durability.

With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy flooring can last 10-20 years in residential settings and 5-10 years in commercial environments with heavy traffic. The longevity depends on factors such as:

• Quality of installation
• Amount of daily traffic
• Exposure to UV rays
• Maintenance routine
• Type of epoxy used
