Professional Installation Process

A durable epoxy coating depends on professional-grade preparation and application. ConcreteShield's installation process follows industry best practices, ensuring maximum adhesion, durability, and visual appeal. Our experienced team has completed 500+ epoxy projects across the GTA.

The 5-Step Epoxy Installation Process

1 Concrete Assessment — Inspect concrete for cracks, damage, moisture, and stains. Damaged areas are repaired or patched. Surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and ground to the proper profile.
2 Moisture Testing — Moisture is the #1 cause of epoxy failure. We perform calcium chloride moisture testing. If moisture is present, we apply a specialized epoxy moisture barrier.
3 Primer Application — A penetrating epoxy primer bonds to the concrete and ensures maximum adhesion. Multiple thin coats are applied to prevent bubbling and ensure professional results.
4 Epoxy Coating — Two-part epoxy is mixed precisely and applied using professional-grade equipment. Multiple thin coats (2-4 coats) build durability. Each coat is allowed proper cure time.
5 Protective Topcoat — A clear polyurethane topcoat provides additional durability and UV protection. Anti-slip additives can be added for safety. Surface is smooth, glossy, and ready after cure.

Epoxy Coating FAQs

What is epoxy coating exactly?

Epoxy is a two-part resin system that chemically bonds to concrete, creating a hard, protective, glossy finish. The coating is non-porous and waterproof, protecting concrete from stains, chemicals, moisture, and damage.

How long does epoxy last?

Professional epoxy typically lasts 15-20 years in residential settings and 10-15 years in high-traffic commercial environments. With proper maintenance and periodic resealing, epoxy can last even longer.

Can epoxy be applied to any concrete?

Concrete must be structurally sound and free of moisture issues. We conduct moisture testing and repair cracks or damage before applying epoxy. Proper preparation is essential for adhesion and durability.

How much does epoxy coating cost?

Epoxy typically costs $5-9 per square foot installed, depending on floor condition and system type. We provide transparent quotes after assessment with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

How long until I can use my floor?

Light foot traffic is allowed after 24 hours. Vehicle traffic should wait 3-5 days. Full cure happens over 7 days. We provide clear instructions to follow during curing for best results.

Is epoxy slippery?

Standard epoxy can be slippery when wet. We can add anti-slip additives, broadcast decorative flakes for texture, or apply textured finishes for safety in garages, kitchens, and commercial areas.

What maintenance does epoxy need?

Sweep or dust mop regularly. Clean with pH-neutral cleaner and soft mop. Avoid harsh acids and abrasive scrubbers. Periodic resealing every 2-3 years maintains the shine and protective barrier.

Can epoxy handle chemicals?

Yes. Epoxy resists oils, gasoline, battery acid, and industrial chemicals. This makes it perfect for garages, workshops, manufacturing facilities, and commercial kitchens where spills are common.

Epoxy vs Polyaspartic - which is better?

Both are durable, but polyaspartic cures faster (24-48 hours) and resists UV better for outdoor use. Epoxy is more economical and offers more color options. We recommend based on your needs.
