Epoxy flooring FAQ
What is the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?
Epoxy builds thickness and bonds well to prepared concrete. Polyaspartic cures faster and is typically more UV-stable, so it is often used as a topcoat over an epoxy base.
How long does an epoxy floor last?
It depends on preparation, the system installed and how the floor is used. Topcoats can often be renewed to extend the life of the floor.
Why is grinding the concrete necessary?
Grinding removes weak surface material and opens the concrete so primers can bond. Skipping it is a common cause of peeling.
Can coatings go on in winter in Reno?
Often, if the slab and air temperatures are within the products' limits. Unheated buildings may need temporary heat or a milder-weather schedule.
Which finish is best for a garage?
Many people choose a flake system because it hides dust and tire marks and adds grip. Solid colors and metallic finishes are also options.
Do you install the floors yourselves?
No. Reno Epoxy Flooring Pros is a quote-request service. Projects are completed by an independent partner contractor.
