Applying concrete floor coating to your floor seems as easy as painting walls, but as with painting, it entails a professional call. Epoxy demands an even and a professionally cleaned surface. That suggests any cracks and potholes will not be a good candidate for epoxy. Before installing any coating to your floor, it must be clean and free of any debris that may prevent bonding, such as dirt, oil or sealer. Any grease or dirt will compromise the epoxy hold, so cleaning is a step that should not be rushed. Special attention should be paid to covering any cracks that may be in the floor, as they must be dealt with prior to installing your floor coatings.
Once the floor is clean and ready for its coating, it all comes down to timing. The hardest part is waiting: Once the whole floor is done, you still have to hold off parking the car on it for another 72 hours.
There are different types of cleaners offered by manufacturers having the versatility to go with any style of decor, so pay close attention to check the ingredients before you choose which is best for you. Epoxies can range from simple to a more complex colored base with multicolor flecks in it, offering a design similar to granite or terrazzo. Epoxy floor coatings come in easy-to-apply kits. However, you will need to have extra supplies.
Maintaining your concrete floor coating is simple. For daily routine, a soft broom or dust mop works well. For a thorough cleaning, wash the floor with a concrete cleaner and follow with a good rinsing.
