FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

What is epoxy flooring and how is it applied?

Epoxy flooring is a resin-based coating applied to concrete to create a durable, smooth, seamless surface. Resin and hardener are mixed and chemically react to form a rigid plastic material. We prepare the concrete by cleaning and grinding it, apply a primer, then the epoxy layers, then a clear topcoat for durability and gloss.

How durable is epoxy flooring?

Epoxy flooring holds up to heavy foot traffic, vehicles, tools, and chemical spills, which is why it works for residential, commercial, and industrial floors. The cured resin resists scratches, stains, and impacts, and keeps its appearance for years with normal cleaning, no special maintenance required.

Can epoxy flooring be customized?

Yes. We offer six finish types (flake, quartz, marble, metallic, one coat colour, and cove base) across a range of colour blends. Flake and quartz can also be finished with a slightly textured topcoat for extra slip resistance in wet-prone areas.

What maintenance does epoxy flooring need?

Regular sweeping and mopping with a mild detergent is all it needs. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive scrub pads, which can dull the topcoat over time. Beyond that, epoxy floors rarely need repairs when they're installed correctly.

Is epoxy flooring suitable for basements?

It's one of the most common places we install it. A properly installed epoxy floor creates a moisture-resistant, seamless, non-porous surface that resists damp and mould, common basement problems. We test moisture levels in the slab before quoting a basement job, since that affects how it needs to be prepped.

Can epoxy be installed on a garage floor?

Yes. Garages are among the most common floors we install epoxy on. Every garage gets the same surface prep as any other job: cleaning, grinding, and moisture testing, followed by a primer, the epoxy layers, and a clear topcoat. Epoxy flake is a popular garage choice because it's slip-resistant and hides minor imperfections in the slab. Like other single-room residential jobs, a garage is usually done in a day or two, including prep, coating, and cure time.

How much does epoxy flooring cost in Ottawa, and how does quoting work?

We don't publish a price list, because cost depends on the specific floor: the condition of the slab and how much prep it needs, the square footage, the finish you choose, and whether cove base is part of the job. Every quote follows an on-site look at the space, so you get a real quote, not a rough guess. Request a free estimate through the estimate form or by phone, and we'll arrange a time to see the floor.

How long does a typical job take?

A single-room residential job like a garage or basement is usually done in a day or two, including prep, coating, and cure time. Larger commercial and industrial jobs take longer depending on square footage and whether cove base or additional prep work is involved. We'll give you a real timeline as part of the quote.

Do you offer cove base for food-safety compliance?

Yes. Cove base creates a seamless, rounded transition between the floor and the wall instead of a 90-degree corner, which is required in most food-production and medical facility floors to pass sanitation inspection. It's installed as part of the same seamless pour as the rest of the floor.

What if something needs touching up after the job is done?

We follow up after the job to make sure everything looks right, and if something needs attention, we take care of it. That's not an add-on service, it's part of doing the job properly.
