Martin County
Epoxy Garage Floors

The most important part of the longevity of every Martin County epoxy garage floor is floor preparation. Without the concrete slab being prepared properly, your new epoxy floor will start lifting and peeling soon after installation.

At Elite Floor Coatings we spend a lot of time focusing of floor preparation, no matter whether we do a small residential garage, a big commercial carpark or airplane hangar.

We start every epoxy garage floor by mechanically diamond grinding the floor. This step removes  old paint and sealers, oil, stains, dirt and grime from the floor. It also helps us achieve the correct concrete profile for the epoxy to bond with the concrete slab.

We then move on to repairing all cracks and chips on the floor. This step is crucial for the longevity of your floor.

We then move on to applying a primer coat for metallic epoxy and flake flooring. For 100% solids, we apply the first coat of your selected color. 

Once the primer or the basecoat has cured we move on to applying:

For the metallic epoxy finish, we apply a metallic self-level basecoat. This is when all of the different metallic pigments start to interact with each other, to create your dream floor.
For epoxy flake flooring we apply the basecoat and broadcast the vinyl flake chips.
For solid color epoxy, we apply the 2nd coat of the selected color.

For epoxy flake, garage floor finish, once the basecoat is fully cured we move on to scraping off the excess flakes.

For all epoxy floor finishes, the final step is applying a protective UV stable clear topcoat.
