Surface Preparation
The first step is essential for ensuring optimal adhesion of the epoxy. This involves grinding the concrete to remove any prior coatings or sealants, as well as addressing any imperfections such as cracks or uneven areas. Damaged spots are repaired, ensuring a smooth and even surface. This preparation phase is critical to prevent issues with adhesion and the overall performance of the epoxy.
Basecoat and Decorative Flakes Application
After preparing the surface, a basecoat of epoxy is applied. This basecoat serves as a foundation for the decorative flakes, which are broadcast across the surface to create a textured, visually appealing finish. The flakes not only enhance the aesthetics but also improve the durability and slip resistance of the floor. The basecoat must cure properly to ensure a strong bond with the topcoat this typically takes 24 hours.
Topcoat with UV-Resistant Epoxy
The final step involves applying a thick, UV-resistant epoxy topcoat. This layer is crucial for ensuring long-term protection and maintaining the appearance of the floor. The topcoat provides a smooth, glossy finish that is both easy to clean and resistant to wear and tear. Its UV resistance helps prevent discolouration or degradation from exposure to sunlight, ensuring that the floor remains in excellent condition for years.

Durability and Longevity
Epoxy coatings create a tough, resilient surface that is resistant to wear, impact, and abrasion. This makes it ideal for basement floors that often experience high foot traffic or heavy use. The coating also stands up well to moisture, chemicals, and stains, ensuring your floor maintains its appearance and functionality for many years.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Epoxy flooring offers a sleek, glossy finish that can instantly enhance the look of any basement. With customizable options such as decorative flakes or colored finishes, epoxy can transform a dull, unfinished concrete floor into a stylish, modern space. This makes it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to improve the visual appeal of their basement, whether it's used for living space, a home gym, or a workshop.
Easy Maintenance and Cleanliness
Epoxy floors are non-porous, meaning they resist stains, dirt, and moisture, which makes them incredibly easy to clean. A simple sweep and occasional mop are typically all that's needed to keep your basement floor looking pristine. This low-maintenance feature is especially valuable in basements, where humidity and spills are more common.
