Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a polyaspartic and epoxy garage floor?
Polyaspartic and epoxy garage floor coatings are the most advanced systems available today. They cure rapidly, are UV resistant, and handle BC moisture far better than traditional coatings.
2. Are polyaspartic and epoxy floors slippery?

Our flake systems provide natural texture for added traction. Especially when wet they are safer than bare concrete. Aluminum oxide can also be added for added traction.

3. Are they resistant to chemicals and stains?

Yes. Professional grade epoxy and polyaspartic floors resist:

  • Oil and grease
  • Gasoline
  • Road salts
  • Fertilizers
  • Household chemicals

They’re ideal for garages, workshops, shore fronts, entrance ways, automotive shops, industrial and storage spaces.

4. How do I maintain my polyaspartic or epoxy floor?

Maintenance is simple:

  • Sweep or vacuum regularly
  • Mop with mild soap and water
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads

No sealing or waxing is required.

5. Can epoxy be installed over cracked or damaged concrete?

Minor cracks and surface damage can be professionally repaired prior to coating. Severe structural movement may require evaluation before installation.

6. Is an epoxy garage floor worth the investment?

Absolutely! It:

Gives stunning curb appeal, and can enhance property value

  • Protects concrete from damage
  • Reduces dust and moisture issues
  • Creates a superbly clean, finished space
7. How much does an epoxy garage floor cost?

Pricing depends on:

  • Garage, shop etc. size
  • Concrete condition
  • System type
  • Flake coverage and topcoat selection

Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings deliver significantly greater durability, appearance, and long-term value.

8. Do you offer warranties?

Yes. Professional epoxy and polyaspartic installations typically include workmanship and material warranties, depending on the system used.

9. Will the floor yellow over time?

Traditional epoxy can yellow with UV exposure. That’s why professional systems often include UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoats to maintain color and clarity.

10. Do epoxy floors work in cold or damp climates?

Yes—when installed by professionals. Proper temperature control, moisture testing, and product selection are essential, especially in climates like the Fraser Valley.

11. How long before I can walk or drive on it?
  • Light foot traffic, generally: 12–24 hours.
  • Vehicle traffic: typically 24–72 hours, depending on the system and conditions.

We provide clear guidelines after installation.

12. How long do epoxy garage floors last?

A professionally installed epoxy or polyaspartic system can last 10–20+ years with proper care. Surface preparation is the single most important factor in longevity.

13. How are epoxy garage floors installed?

Professional installation typically includes:

  • Mechanical concrete grinding (not inferior acid etching).
  • Thorough crack and surface repairs.
  • Primer or moisture-mitigating base coat if needed.
  • Full broadcast of decorative flakes.
  • Protective topcoat for superior durability and shine.

Each step ensures maximum adhesion and long-term performance.

14. How long does installation take?

Most garage floors are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size, condition, and chosen system. Polyaspartic systems allow for quicker return to service.

15. What’s the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic floors?

Epoxy provides excellent adhesion and strength, while polyaspartic coatings offer faster cure times, UV stability, and enhanced durability. Many professional systems—like ours—use both to maximize longevity, performance, and appearance.

16. Why choose a flake epoxy garage floor?

Decorative flake systems:

  • Improve slip resistance
  • Are extremely durable and easy to maintain.
  • Create an immaculate look for your garage, work shop, store front, etc.
  • Add depth and texture
  • Can improve your property value

They’re one of the most popular choices for modern garages.

17. Why shouldn’t I use a DIY epoxy kit?

DIY kits lack:

  • Proper surface prep
  • Industrial-grade materials
  • Moisture protection
  • Long-term durability

Professionally installed floors last far longer, look significantly better, and won’t peel or fail prematurely as is the constant and common case with diy kits.

18. Will the floor peel or delaminate over time?

No — not when installed correctly. Mechanical grinding, moisture testing, and professional-grade coatings ensure a strong mechanical bond to the concrete.
