Epoxy Floors

What is the best epoxy floor coating for you? There are many different blends depending on the specific use. They start with thin epoxy paints you find at most home improvement stores. New York City commercial kitchens in restaurants need floor systems that are non-slip, withstand extreme changes in temperature from ovens, freezers and hot water cleaning. If you need a resurfacing system that can be installed quickly with minimal downtime, you may want to consider a polyaspartic coating. Polyaspartics are a type of polyurea engineered for rapid curing. Small floors of 1,000 square feet can be installed in 1 day.

Grind and Seal Floors – Grind and seal concrete floors have become one of the most desired floor systems. The process includes grinding the surface exposing what appears to be new concrete. Then floors can be stained in various colors or just leave the natural appearance. Then the floor is sealed with a clear coat using an epoxy or urethane. This system is very popular for Manhattan residential lofts, offices, art galleries, retail stores, showrooms and restaurants.

Metallic Epoxy – If you want a vibrant, decorative finish, metallic epoxy coatings may be just what you are looking for. Metallic epoxy is available in countless colors with a marbleized appearance.

Moisture Mitigation for Fast Track Construction – For new construction, you may want to consider an underlayment system using a penetrating epoxy primer and self-leveling concrete. This is an ideal system used for many of the new concrete projects in New York City.
