Epoxy Flooring

1. Preparation :            Clear the area, remove grease, and clean the floor thoroughly. Repair cracks and joints with epoxy gel filler, sanding them smooth once cured.

2. Surface Profiling:    Use a diamond grinder or shot blaster to remove the top layer, opening the pores for better adhesion.

3. Clean & Dry:     Vacuum all dust and ensure the concrete is completely dry. Test for moisture by taping a plastic sheet down for 24 hours.

4. Prime/Seal Coat:  Apply a thin primer or sealer coat with a roller to prevent outgassing bubbles. Allow this to dry (usually 24 hours).

5. Mix Epoxy:                 Mix the epoxy resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's ratio (often 2:1 or 1:1) using a drill mixer.

6. Apply Base/Main Coat:                                   Pour the epoxy in ribbons, spread with a notched squeegee, and back-roll with a microfiber roller.

7. Add Details (Optional):                        Add decorative flakes, chips, or metallic additives while the base coat is wet.

8. Topcoat & Cure:   Apply a high-performance topcoat (e.g., polyurethane) for scratch resistance. Allow the floor to cure fully (often 24-72 hours) before walking or driving on it.
