Epoxy Floor Coating Review

Epoxy Floor Coating Review

Concrete comes in many surface types and typically needs to be sealed or coated to prevent deterioration over the years. One of the more popular concrete coatings types is Epoxy Coatings. It has been proven these coatings are some of the most durable concrete coatings. Epoxy Coatings can be used for both interior and exterior applications, but most are used for interior or covered surfaces. Ideal for concrete types such as garage floors, warehouse floors, industrial floors, shop floors, basements, concrete patios, and concrete countertops.

Concrete is very porous and can be prone to degradation from Water, Ultra Violet Radiation, wear, and tear, etc. By using Epoxy Concrete Coatings, you can prolong the life of the concrete surface while making it easier to clean.

Why use an Epoxy Concrete Coating?

The main reasons to Epoxy Coat your concrete are:

  1. Preventing hairline cracks due to water expansion during freeze/thaw cycles.
  2. Prevent water penetration and seepage of water through walls and foundations.
  3. Drastically enhances the appearance.
  4. Prevent damage from deicing salts during winter months.
  5. Provide protection from “Pitting” or “Spalling” or deterioration of the concrete, causing chunks of the concrete to separate from the concrete structure.
  6. Easier to Clean and Maintain the surface.

Concrete Epoxy Floor Coating Reviews?

Not all Epoxy Coatings are made the same. Epoxy coatings come in both water-based (watered down) and 100% solid resin-based formulas. The generic water-based formulas are sold at big box stores and the high-end 100% solid epoxy coatings are sold by individual concrete coating manufacturers that specialize in making these coatings.

Can you Find High-End Epoxy at Home Depot or Lowes?

We have not had much luck with the Big Box Store Brands that are sold as DIY Kits. Brands such as Rust-Oleum, Valspar, Quickcrete, and Epoxy Shield have a short life span and wear/peel in a short period of time. The DIY Kits sold at Big Box Stores are more or less thick paints only and will never perform as well or have a long lifespan.

What are the Best High-End Epoxy Coatings?

The Best Epoxy High-End Coatings are 100% solid, high build garage floor resin-based coatings that undergo a chemical reaction that results in a thick coating, tightly bonded to the prepared surface. These coatings are 2 part systems that, when mixed, catalyze into a superior thick bond that is 4-5 stronger than the DIY Epoxy Kits sold at Big Box Stores. The 100% solids Resin-Based Epoxy Coatings are what we use as contractors and are what any quality professional will use. While mostly sold to professionals, the 100% Solids Epoxy Coatings can be used by homeowners that expect their coating to last for many many years.

Will Epoxy Coatings Prevent Slipping?

Yes, quality epoxy coatings will prevent slipping. You can add decorative Fleck and Grip to your epoxy if needing additional traction.

Will Epoxy Coatings Prevent damage from deicing salts during winter months?

Yes, the epoxy coating will prevent salt erosion and other damage that can be tracked into your garage from vehicles.

I have a two car garage (20 x 23 feet) and bought six gallons of Restore-A-Garage in Canadian gray. You could probably get away with 3 gallons if ok with a thinner coat. Would be hard to apply that much in the 30 minutes you have to work. Six gallons gave a great thicker coat that was easier to apply. Applied three gallons at a time. Get a squeegee and 18inch roller 3/8″ semi smooth surface roller worked well. I would add to their instructions to pour on concrete, squeegee, then do edges with smaller roller/paint brush, then spread and… Read more »

I have a new concrete floor, about 1250 sq. ft. I’m looking to coat it with epoxy. I’ve seen floors that just didn’t seem to have enough coverage of flakes. I’m going for a “high density flake” look on my floors as I think aesthetically, it’s much better looking. How can I make sure to purchase enough (both flakes and epoxy)?

3 season porch and exterior use. Outside concrete pad 196 SF, 3 season porch around 300-400SF. 
Desired appearance: beige flat (flat not a requirement but preferred), don’t care about flecks/no flecks.
Porch and outdoor pad, concrete. They are currently painted, and one has anti-skid paint (with sand added). Should not have oil or grease spills as no autos being driven there.
Been looking at Rustoleum yet there are many steps for correct application, total cost about $550, professional charging me $1550, but concerned longevity of each option (DIY or professional).

I want something that will shine and keep a high gloss finish which really enhances the acid stain.

Hi, we’re looking for the best flooring for our walk-out basement Airbnb. It’s concrete, and we tried a paper-bag DIY flooring (brown newsprint paper, polyurethane) that mostly came off when our basement flooded, which it does fairly rarely. We have since been using some of those big interlocking squares, but when it floods we have to move furniture, pull them all up and dry them, and replace. Looking for an easier solution! We’ve shied away from paint, as I fear that any water would be constantly pulling up flakes. Our plan is to put throw rugs over whatever flooring we… Read more »

Greetings. I am looking to put a lifetime coating on my basement floor. It was previously painted. I had someone use a rented floor machine to scrape off the paint. In many areas, we are down to bare concrete. I other areas, there are remnants of the paint, though the surface has been abrased. I used Rustoleum epoxy to patch holes/cracks. It was a two-part epoxy and seems to have adhered/filled very well. Before applying the epoxy crack filler, I used a cleaning/etching chemical to clean the surface. Do I need to use a primer due to the areas where… Read more »

Thank you for the response. I just finished up painting my shop and about to begin the epoxy process. A quick question that wasn’t addressed prior.

Is grinding necessary or is degrease and acid etch sufficient? This shop was used as a hobbyist mechanics shop prior. I am sure they spilled some oil but nothing too terribly from the looks of it.
I would like to avoid grinding but also want to do it right once.

Thanks again!

I have a BBQ grille set into a painted concrete work bench (the entire area is 5′ by 3 3/4′ including the BBQ). I went to a local paint store and they recommended some paint that has, after 2+ years, never completely dried and picks up every stain and ring imaginable. Is there an epoxy product that would work in this application. I am removing the “paint” by attempting to sand it off with a belt sander which is not working wells it comes of in clumps – not as expected!
