Have Questions about Concrete Coatings?

Here are answers to common questions we receive on epoxy flooring and concrete coatings. Feel free to call is if you have any other questions. We look forward to hearing from you. 

Epoxy floors are long-lasting and they look really good! They are a great choice for your home. Epoxy is a durable material that is made of hardeners and polymers. When they blend, a powerful bond occurs. After they are applied to a concrete surface, the epoxy becomes a film that can stand up to everything from heavy foot-traffic and wear and tear, to water damage and commercial chemical spills. Not only are they practical, but they are beautiful. Their reflective coatings make your whole room look organized, neat and clean.

If you compare epoxy floors installed by professionals like Des Moines Concrete Coatings to other types of floors like vinyl, tile or carpet, you will see that our epoxy flooring has incredible longevity. Did you know that epoxy floors can last several decades before needing a touch up?

Something else to consider is that the actual application process of an epoxy floor is not very long. In about one day, or 24 hours, our floors dry. This means our team will only be in your house for a very short time.

Finally, epoxy finishes help you in a way you might not have expected! A new epoxy floor concrete coating makes maintenance and cleaning so much easier than before. Other surfaces like wood, tile or brick allow dirt into tiny cracks and crevices. Not so for your epoxy floor. Our surfaces are seamless and smooth.

Something else to consider is that you can pretty much use all typical household cleaners to clean your new epoxy floor. You won’t have to worry about buying expensive cleaners or special solutions, like you do for other floors.

When you have your epoxy floors installed by a professional, you can know that they will last for a while! In fact, if you use the right company and expert installers like ours, epoxy floors can last up to 20 years. With epoxy flooring you have a few layers of protection over the top of your concrete or other surfaces. This creates a seamless seal that acts as a shield and creates a very durable, long-lasting surface. Because of this excellent concrete coating, the epoxy flooring minimizes cracking, peeling, staining and even scratching.

It is important to note that truly professional installations like ours will include grinding down the surfaces using special tools before application. Doing this will remove all old and loose material before your epoxy floor is installed. If your installers don’t pay attention to these details, your new floor might have bubbling or flaking because of lack of proper adhesion.  

Epoxy floors do not take long to install at all. On other types of floors, you might be looking at a week or more on installation, but on epoxy floors, with our professional installers, you are looking at anywhere from one to four days to install epoxy floors. The total amount of time will depend on a variety of factors, including shape of area, total size of the project and the condition of your current floor. Of course, each project is customized, so give us a call to find out how long your new epoxy flooring will take!

An industrial floor coating is something that is applied on top of concrete or a wooden floor to protect and prolong the life of the floor.

Our industrial floor coatings are chemical-resistant and durable under heavy foot-traffic or heavy equipment operation. Industrial floor coatings come in a variety of designs and are made to be visually appealing as well as practical. Even with a glossy, smooth finish, they are safe and slip-resistant. In addition to this, they have heat resistance and slow down the spread of fire. There are quite a few advantages to having an industrial floor covering: Safety – When industrial floors are coated with epoxy, which is slip-resistant, you will find you have improved traction. As a result, you will have fewer slips and falls in the workplace. Your workplace safety will improve! Durability – The epoxy and polyurethane coatings create a powerful bond with the concrete floor. A benefit of this is that the new surface coating will resist the contraction and expansion that comes with temperature extremes. As a result, your floor will not crack or degrade as other floors do. Easy to Maintain – Coated industrial floors have a beautiful, smooth, seamless and glossy finish that are quite easy to clean. Other floors require scrubbing to remove debris and grime, while our coated surfaces are easy to wipe clean. Cost-Effective – Over the long haul, your concrete coated industrial floors will be much less expensive to maintain than damaged concrete. Day to day maintenance is also very easy and practical. Because of their non-porous and anti-microbial quality, they do not absorb stains, chemicals or bacteria. Cleaning is very simple and very effective!
