Proper Build Process
Why it matters
A nice finish is only one part of the job. The real difference is the system underneath: concrete prep, primer, a pigmented basecoat, full-flake broadcast, and a protective topcoat. Each stage has a job, and each stage supports the next.
The 4-layer system
This is not a basic paint-on floor. It is a multi-layer, multi-day coating system designed to create a thicker, more forgiving, more durable surface.
The slab is mechanically prepared, then primed to help create a strong bond and seal the concrete before the build coat goes down.
A 100% solids epoxy basecoat creates body, coverage, and a strong foundation for the decorative flake broadcast.
Decorative flakes are broadcast into the wet coating to create the finished look, add visual depth, and naturally hide concrete imperfections.
The clear topcoat locks in the flake system and adds chemical resistance, gloss, cleanability, and optional slip-resistant texture.
Installation flow
This page can be used to set the expectation that quality flooring takes proper preparation, layered materials, and cure time — not a rushed, same-day shortcut.
We prepare the concrete surface, address problem areas, and create the right profile for strong adhesion.
Primer and epoxy basecoat are applied, then decorative flakes are broadcast into the wet coating for full coverage.
Loose flake is removed, the floor is cleaned, and the topcoat is applied to lock in the system.
FAQ
Common Questions About Our Process
Q1
Epoxy flooring works well in garages, basements, commercial kitchens, warehouses, retail spaces, and utility rooms. If you have a concrete slab, epoxy is likely a good fit.
Q2
Most residential projects take 2-3 days, including surface prep and coating. Larger commercial jobs may take longer depending on square footage and the system being applied.
Q3
Yes. The concrete needs to be fully clear for proper grinding and prep. We recommend removing vehicles, shelving, and any stored items before our crew arrives.
Q4
Light foot traffic is usually possible within 24 hours. Vehicle traffic typically requires a full cure of 48 to 72 hours. We'll give you specific timing based on the product used.
Q5
Concrete sealing penetrates or coats the surface to repel moisture and reduce staining. It's a good fit when you want protection without a thick coating layer, or when the concrete condition calls for a lighter treatment.
Q6
Yes. We regularly work in Elmhurst, Lombard, Bensenville, Wood Dale, and Itasca. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Q7
Epoxy floors are easy to keep clean. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner is all most floors need. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull the finish over time.
Q8
Usually not directly. Existing coatings need to be removed and the bare concrete properly prepped before a new epoxy system will bond correctly. We assess this during the initial consultation.
