1.     Why do I need an epoxy or polyaspartic floor?

Epoxy or polyaspartic floors provide durability, chemical resistance, and easy maintenance. They’re ideal for high-traffic areas, garages, or industrial spaces, offering a seamless, long-lasting surface that resists stains, cracks, and UV damage. Polyaspartic coatings cure faster than epoxy, making them great for quick installations. Both enhance aesthetics while protecting your concrete. 

2.     How long does the entire application process take?

Generally 2-3 days for small scale project, depending upon the type of floor treatment you choose.

For a large-scale project, the full process—including sanding, prep, coating, and curing—typically takes 1-2 weeks (longer cure time, multi-layer application)

Exact timing depends on surface condition, humidity, and project complexity. 

3.     Will the surface be slippery?

A standard epoxy or polyaspartic floor can be slippery when wet, but anti-slip additives (like silica grit or textured coatings) are available for high-traffic or wet areas (e.g., garages, warehouses, pool decks). Glossy finishes are more slippery than matte/satin options. Customize traction based on your needs. 

4.     How long will the floor take to dry?

Here’s the drying/curing timeline for epoxy and polyaspartic floors:

·         Epoxy:

o    Dry to touch: ~12–24 hours

o    Walkable: 24–48 hours

o    Full cure (heavy use/furniture): 5–7 days

·         Polyaspartic:

o    Dry to touch: 1–2 hours

o    Walkable: 4–6 hours

o    Full cure: 24–48 hours

(Humidity/temperature affect timing.)

5.     Why does the floor look mottled or transparent after the first application?

A mottled or transparent appearance after the first coat is usually due to:

·         Uneven absorption (porous concrete sucks up coating unevenly)

·         Inadequate mixing of epoxy/polyaspartic components

·         Thin application (coating doesn’t self-level properly)

This is normal—a second coat ensures full, even coverage and rich color.

6.     Will the application of epoxy change the grade of level of the floor?

Applying epoxy or polyaspartic coatings typically adds 0.05–0.25 mm per layer—negligible to floor level. However:

·         Self-leveling epoxy (for uneven floors) can build up to 3 mm or more.

·         Multiple heavy coats may slightly raise edges.

For precise leveling, consult your installer.
