Residential Floor Coating Systems in Orlando

Epoxy flooring is a type of resinous flooring. It is designed to go over a variety of subflooring types, including concrete, to create a smooth, safe, nonporous finish.

At Granite Garage Floors Orlando, we offer a variety of industrial-grade floor coatings, including:

Epoxy floors are a smart choice for high-traffic areas, such as your garage or basement, because they're tough. Concrete coated with floor epoxy stands up to stains, chips, cracks and heavy foot traffic.

Here are some reasons why homeowners in Orlando choose epoxy for their floors:

• Safety: The right epoxy flooring installation ensures that your floor coating has anti-slip features, making it safer than many other flooring options.
• Easy to maintain: The resin layer protects your concrete flooring from dirt, liquids and chemicals, as well as chips, cracks and hot tire pickup. Spills wipe up easily, and all you need for cleaning is a broom, a mop and an all-purpose cleaner.
• Customizable: Epoxy flooring comes in a variety of colors and gloss levels, giving you nearly complete control over the finished look of your space.
• Durable: Properly installed epoxy flooring can withstand heavy foot traffic and even heavy machinery. It's also resistant to stains and damage from oil, gas, transmission fluid and many industrial chemicals.
• Economical: When compared to many other flooring products, epoxy flooring offers a low cost per square foot. It's also able to be installed directly on top of your existing concrete, reducing the need for additional costly products.

Giving you a flawless, long-lasting residential flooring is our top priority at Granite Garage Floors Orlando. Here's what you can expect from the floor coating process:

1. Cleaning: We thoroughly clean your floor, removing any dust, debris or previous floor coatings.
2. Preparation: Any cracks or imperfections on your concrete surface are carefully repaired to ensure a smooth foundation.
3. Concrete etch: A concrete etch is applied to the floor, which opens the pores of the concrete and creates a textured profile for better adhesion of the epoxy floor coating.
4. Application: Once the surface is prepped and dry, the coating is mixed according to manufacturer instructions and applied evenly across the floor using rollers or brushes. Working in small sections helps us maintain consistent coverage and prevents dry spots.
5. Curing: After each coat is applied, it's crucial to allow the epoxy coating to cure for the recommended time, ensuring a durable bond with the concrete.
6. Top coat: For extra protection, a top coat — such as a polyaspartic or urethane layer — can be applied once the epoxy coating has set. This multi-step process results in a garage floor that's not only visually appealing but also highly resistant to wear, stains and daily use.
