Frequently Asked Questions

What is an epoxy floor?

Epoxy floors consist of one or more floor coating layers that are spread and allowed to harden in place. A clear epoxy floor paint can be used to provide a protective sealant layer over other flooring types. Epoxy flooring can also be applied in successive layers that offer added durability and the most attractive results for your home or business premises.

Epoxy floors are available in a wide range of styles and formulations:

Water-based epoxy applications are usually reserved for use as sealants over other epoxy applications.
Self-leveling epoxy floors can make it easier to create smooth, glossy surfaces for flooring in garages, homes, and business environments.
Epoxy mortar flooring formulations use quartz as an additive to create a durable and decorative floor for industrial facilities.
Epoxy flake and metallic formulations offer outstanding beauty for commercial and residential installations.

Why use epoxy flooring?

Epoxy floors offer some real benefits for businesses and for homeowners alike. Epoxy is durable and resistant to water, which allows it to act as a sealant for floors at ground level. With the addition of metallic or flake materials, it can take on the appearance of much more expensive marble or granite. Finally, epoxy floors are an excellent choice for garages, basements, warehouses, and other areas where cost-effective floor treatment is needed.

How is an epoxy floor installed?

Epoxy floors are generally installed using several applications of this floor coating to create the most durable and attractive appearance for homes and business environments. The team at Precision Epoxy will provide you with detailed information on the exact application method needed to achieve the best results.

How much does an epoxy floor cost?

The average cost of professional installation and materials for epoxy floors is between $5 and $17 per square foot. Given the durability of these flooring systems, this represents a bargain in the floor treatment marketplace.

How long will my epoxy floor last?
