Why are our floors the real deal? It's the 5 Critical Steps in Our Installation Process

​Our documented 5-Step application process is one reason home and business owners chose to purchase our services. That detailed and advanced process combined with the fact we only use the very best quality chemicals and materials available make our floors the best you can buy. 

We only use non-toxic chemicals with low VOC (See VOC definition below) so that harmful vapors will not be produced that could possibly affect our workers, your family or pets. If you are the business owner, it will not harm your employees or customers. All of our installers are trained, certified, authorized and highly experienced in epoxy floor coating applications.

STEP 1

We start with a diamond grinder to process your existing floor to a sandpaper-like finish. This sand paper finish insures that the industrial 2-part epoxy seeps into the mechanically opened capillaries of your floor surface to create a solid-state bond with absolutely no peeling properties. Note: If there is any crack or pit repair to be done, a second technician will be using a "crack runner" tool to prepare the cracks and pits for our "flaw repair" compound. 

STEP 2
We calculate the exact chemical mixture needed for the base coat of our industrial 2-part epoxy. This base coat must be applied flawlessly and with exact preciseness to insure a complete, seamless, beautiful finish. The chemical is poured and spread with rollers. The reaction time of this chemical mixture varies according to temperature and moisture. Our installer technicians are trained in assessing and manipulating this cure time if needed.

STEP 3

One of the extra advantages of a Lifetiime Epoxy chip-coverage floor is that we always broadcast 100% chip coverage. We elect to do this for three reasons; 1. It makes your look look great with a terazzo or granite like finish. 2. Full chip coverage provides better cushion and added protection for your floor surface. 3. 100% chip coverage makes the floor finish perfectly uniform with a texture finish. Some homowners elect to go with solid colors. If you desire a textured solid floor finish, our technicians cal add a "granular agent" to provide a more non-slip finish. 

 
STEP 4
A  bonding sealer is added. 

STEP 5
A top coat of polyurea is added. This is one of the most difficult challenges of epoxy floor installation. The reaction time of this top coat is another factor that our trained technicians can determine and properly adjust to if necessary. Application speed, uniform tool movements, and proper application approach is crucial during this final stage to insure a consistent, uniform, and aesthetically appealing floor that has the durability and performance level we warrant our floors to provide. This top coat is formulated to provide UV protection and extremely durable finish.

5 Questions Our Customers Ask Prior to Buying Our Floor

7/22/2017

Question 
​1

Q: How does EPOXY work?
A: EPOXY two components, when mixed together, start a chemical reaction (polymerization) changing the liquid mixture into the hard, durable, dense, chemically-resistant EPOXY film that remains. EPOXY controlled cure time allows a slow penetration of the concrete surface, tightly bonding the EPOXY coating to the concrete.

Question
​2

Q: A Lifetime Warranty sound to good to be true. Is that practical? Is that possible?
A: If you owned a restaurant, you warranty would be 3 to 5 years. If you own a car dealership or oil change facility, the warranty would be 3 years. But, we feel very comfortable with providing residential clients a "Lifetime Warranty" for normal home use and wear and tear. The warranty does not cover damage caused by acetone, battery acid, or damage caused by dragging a heavy object across the surface such as heavy freezer. ​

Question
​3

Q: I hear horror stories of  garage floors stained by oil, peeling or showing hot tire marks. Will this happen to your floor?
A: Absolutely not. You can buy in confidence knowing that our floor is guaranteed not to peel, crack, stain, discolor, or show hot tire marks. In fact if you were to spill a gallon of paint, oil or water base, on it, do not try to clean it up. Just keep the pets and grand kids out of it until it completely drys. Then start peeling on one edge and peel the entire can up as a "huge" paint pancake! Our floor is that resistant to stains and chemicals. ​

Question 
​4

Q: Will the floor be slippery?
A: The floor surface texture can be made to your specification, as smooth or textured as you like. Smooth surfaces, though slightly easier to broom can be slippery when wet. Texturing can be applied to greatly enhance traction. Even though the floor coatings we apply are in compliance with OSHA standards, when wet they can be slippery as in almost any other surface. Before or during the installation process you can request we add aluminum oxide to the final coat so that there is an added slip resistance. The higher the gloss the more slippery when wet.

Question 
​5

​Q: Does EPOXY give off any harmful vapors or odors and is it safe for indoor use as in homes and businesses?
A: Our EPOXY floor coating has low or virtually no V.O.C.s (Volatile Organic Compounds) or other harmful odors. It is very safe to use in any indoor application such as garages, basements, restaurants, kitchens, labs, wine cellars, day care centers, pharmaceutical labs, etc. It meets the Food and Drug Administation (FDA) regulations permitting use in food contact applications.

The purchase of flooring is an important choice to make for your home. Every type of flooring has its benefits and its drawbacks. However, seamless epoxy flooring provides numerous benefits.
Epoxy floor coating is a flooring surface made up of multiple layers of epoxy applied to the floor. Epoxy is made up of resins and hardeners. The resin and hardener are mixed together to chemically react. When the mixture hardens, it forms an extremely durable surface coating.

Epoxy can breathe new life into old floors and a great way to beautify new concrete floors that have a smooth, boring, or generic finish.

Epoxy floors come in a variety of colors and styles. There is also the option of adding color flakes and a clear coat, giving floors a showroom appearance. Materials used to make epoxy floors are stronger than concrete.
Coating used in seamless floors is UV resistant against rain and sunlight, designed to shine for years. Epoxy coating is very easy to clean and it does not pick up dust.
​
