How Long Does Epoxy Flooring Really Last?

Epoxy flooring done properly will last between 15 and 25 years in a residential setting, and 10 to 15 years in a high-traffic commercial setting. But the difference between a 5 year floor and a 20 year floor isn't the resin — it's the preparation underneath.

Why prep is everything

We diamond-grind every floor before we even open a tin. Grinding the slab to a CSP-3 profile (the International Concrete Repair Institute's recommended profile for epoxy) is the only way to get a permanent mechanical bond. Acid washing and 'just cleaning' the slab — the shortcuts the cheap operators use — will fail.

Topcoat selection

For outdoor epoxy we always use a UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat. Standard epoxy yellows in sunlight; the cheaper installers leave that out and the customer pays for it two summers later.

Our promise

Every floor we install is backed by a 10-year materials warranty and a lifetime workmanship warranty. If you'd like to see how the prep happens, we'd love to walk you through it.
