What Are Epoxy Floors and Epoxy Coatings?
Okay, so first, we’ll take a look at epoxy resins. They’re used to create both epoxy floors and epoxy coatings. In a nutshell, epoxy is a two-part liquid mix of resin and hardening agents. When combined, they form a stable and rigid plastic material known as epoxy. Epoxy resins are the most challenging and most resilient types of resin that we have available today. Now let’s take a look at what differentiates an epoxy floor from an epoxy coating. As a simple rule of thumb, it goes like this:
- Epoxy Coatings: Below 2-millimeter thickness
- Epoxy Flooring: Above 2-millimeter thickness
It’s important to know this distinction to avoid confusion. At My Floor, our epoxy coatings consist of multiple layers of coatings and is always prepared in accordance with the Australian Standard. This combination of multiple layers ensures maximum durability!
Since epoxy coatings are so durable and robust, they’re great for high-traffic areas. They’re also resistant to chemicals, grease, and water.

Floor, we don’t cut any corners when installing our epoxy. That’s important because it can be easy to mess up an epoxy flooring installation. Here’s a brief breakdown of what the process looks like:
- Repairing the Underlying Surface
You can install epoxy on wood, concrete, steel, or other slightly porous surfaces. Before you get started, you must repair the original surface. That means smoothing out any perfections, repairing cracks, and removing contaminants. You see, the epoxy requires a suitable bond in order to prevent delamination. That’s why it’s so crucial that you have a pristine surface to start. My Floor only apply coatings on concrete.
- Preparing the Concrete Surface
Next, we use our diamond concrete grinder to remove a layer off the surface. This opens the pores of the concrete so that the first coat of epoxy can soak in and penetrate. We also ensure that the surface is dry the surface for the next step.
- Applying the Epoxy Primer
After a detailed inspection, we apply a thin coat of epoxy primer using a roller. This will ensure a flawless bond between the substrate and the epoxy coating.
- Applying the Epoxy Coating
Depending on what options you have elected to install, we apply several layers of coating together to form the epoxy coating system. Usually there is a 6 to 12 hour drying time between each epoxy coat application. We are able to include an anti-slip additive during the process for areas requiring a non-slip floor.

You never want to use abrasive brushes or pads to clean your epoxy flooring. That’s because they will rub the surface and will wear away at the coating. To clean your floors, you should sweep and vacuum the entire area. From there, use warm water and a hard foam mop to clean the flooring thoroughly. Water is the best cleaning agent to use. If you do use a cleaner, use one that has a neutral PH level. You don’t want to use cleaning agents that are too alkaline or acidic.
