🧠 Why Epoxying a Floor Is Worth It

Epoxying a floor offers durability, chemical resistance, and a sleek appearance that makes it ideal for garages, warehouses, and commercial spaces. Whether you're an industrial contractor or a homeowner, epoxy flooring is a cost-effective, professional-grade solution that lasts.

As a leading epoxy coating manufacturer since 2013, Guangdong Lvshu Floor Coating Co., Ltd. has been helping customers worldwide achieve superior flooring results with premium materials and expert support.

🛠️ What You Need Before You Start

• Epoxy resin & hardener (2-part)
• Concrete cleaner & grinder or acid etcher
• Paint rollers, squeegee, mixing paddle
• Safety gear: gloves, goggles, mask
• Optional: decorative flakes or anti-slip additive

Our company’s R&D-developed epoxy coatings come with MSDS and marine export certifications — quality guaranteed for both professional and DIY use.

🧱 Step 1: Prepare the Concrete Surface

1. Thoroughly clean the surface, removing oil, grease, and dust.
2. Patch any cracks or holes with concrete filler.
3. Grind or acid-etch to roughen the surface for better adhesion.
4. Dry test the surface to confirm moisture level is safe.

⚗️ Step 2: Mix the Epoxy Components

1. Pour part A (resin) and part B (hardener) into a clean container.
2. Mix for at least 2–3 minutes using a power drill mixer.
3. Only mix what you can apply within 30–40 minutes to avoid premature curing.

Our epoxy formulas offer extended working time and superior adhesion, perfect for export-grade projects across industrial and commercial sectors.

🖌️ Step 3: Apply the Base Epoxy Layer

1. Use a brush to cut in edges around the perimeter.
2. Roll epoxy in sections using a “W” motion for even distribution.
3. Work quickly and avoid overlaps — epoxy cures fast.

🎨 Step 4: Add Decorative Flakes or Texture

While the base coat is wet, broadcast colored flakes or non-slip granules. This enhances both safety and aesthetics.

Guangdong Lvshu Floor Coating Co., Ltd. offers a variety of decorative and anti-slip additives that are color-stable and resistant to UV degradation.

🛡️ Step 5: Apply the Clear Topcoat

1. Wait 12–24 hours for the base layer to cure.
2. Apply a clear topcoat (epoxy or polyurethane) for protection.
3. Let cure for at least 72 hours before heavy use.

🧽 Maintenance Tips

• Sweep or mop regularly to prevent grit buildup.
• Avoid acidic cleaners — use pH-neutral products.
• Reapply topcoat every 3–5 years in high-traffic areas.
