At DFW Epoxy Floor Experts LLC,
we believe that proper preparation and expert installation are key to a long-lasting, high-quality epoxy floor. Whether you're upgrading your garage, patio, or interior floors, understanding the process can help you feel confident about your investment.
Step 1: Surface Preparation – The Foundation of a Strong Epoxy Floor
Epoxy adheres best to a clean, properly prepped surface. That’s why the first step in our process is thorough preparation, which includes:
- Surface Grinding
– We use industrial diamond grinders to remove dirt, stains, and old coatings, ensuring a smooth, porous surface for the epoxy to bond to.
- Crack & Imperfection Repair – We fill any cracks, holes, or damage with an epoxy patching compound to create a flawless base.
- Moisture Testing – Excess moisture in concrete can cause epoxy to fail, so we test for it and use moisture barriers if needed.
Proper prep is crucial—cutting corners here can lead to peeling, bubbling, or poor adhesion.
Step 2: Applying the Epoxy Coating
Once the surface is ready, we move on to the application process:
- Primer Coat – A primer is applied to enhance adhesion and increase durability.
- Base Coat
– This is the main layer of epoxy, chosen in the color or finish you prefer.
- Decorative Elements (Optional) – If you’ve chosen a flake, metallic, or quartz system, we add these for texture and visual appeal.
- Topcoat for Protection – A final protective layer is applied, providing resistance to stains, scratches, and wear.
Step 3: Curing & Drying Time
Epoxy doesn’t dry—it cures. This means it undergoes a chemical process that hardens it into a strong, durable surface. Here’s what to expect:
- Walkable Surface: Light foot traffic is okay after 24 hours.
- Vehicle & Heavy Use: Wait at least 72 hours before driving on it.
- Full Cure: The epoxy reaches maximum hardness in 7 days.
Step 4: Final Inspection & Customer Satisfaction
After curing, we inspect the floor to ensure a flawless finish. We’ll also provide you with care and maintenance tips to keep your epoxy floor looking great for years to come.
