WHY IS DIY EPOXY CONCRETE COATING A BAD IDEA?

While DIY solutions for concrete coatings are all over the internet and completing a home project yourself can save you money, in this situation it can do more harm than good. It will cost a lot more when we have to demo it and then redo it the correct way. Some things are just better left to the professionals. Installing epoxy flooring is a long process that involves specialized tools, equipment, and materials that don’t come with your average DIY Epoxy kit. Check out our video above to get an idea of just how rigorous this process is can be.

PREPPING YOUR CONCRETE FOR EPOXY

A large part of applying polyaspartic/epoxy flooring is the preparation for the epoxy to seal and coat the existing concrete. Without the right preparation, such as how to properly clean and prep the concrete, the epoxy will peel and potentially cause damage to your concrete. What’s even more important is knowing how crucial the safety of your health is when applying polyaspartic/epoxy. It’s important to know that concrete dust is the silica dust that contributes to lung disease. We use a professional high-end grinding system that features a very powerful dust collection system and high-quality respirators for safety to avoid inhalation of dust and fumes. SAFETY FIRST!

PROFESSIONAL-GRADE EPOXY VS. DIY KIT

In the DIY kits you won’t get the solution needed to clean and clear the concrete before applying the product. Not using the precise solution created for this project means your concrete coating will not adhere properly. The water-based epoxy kits do not offer the durability that the professional ones do. Period! The material becomes brittle quickly and is most likely to crack or peel once applied. Our product is solvent-based and as a result holds up better to daily wear and tear. We offer a LIFETIME WARRANTY on our products because that’s simply how good it is!
