Why Replace Your Epoxy Floor?
Houstonโs high heat and humidity can cause poorly-installed floors to break down if the coatings arenโt built to handle the elements. If you notice cracks, peeling, or fading, itโs likely your floorโs moisture management or UV protection wasnโt up to par. Our epoxy floor replacement systems address these issues by using moisture-mitigating epoxy primers and UV-resistant polyaspartic topcoats, ensuring that your new floor can handle the harsh Texas climate.
The Drawbacks of One-Day Installations
One-day epoxy installations may seem like a quick fix, but they often cut corners, especially when it comes to moisture management. These rushed jobs can result in bubbling, peeling, or even cracking months or years after installation. To get the job done in the promised “one day”, they use quick-curing polyureas (or polyaspartics) as both the direct-to-concrete primer coats and clear topcoats.
But these coatings are simply not spec’d to go direct-to-concrete (ask any Architect). Why? Because in the presence of medium to high concrete moisture, these quick-cure coatings cure even quicker. So quickly, in fact, that the polyurea-polyaspartic doesn’t have time to properly penetrate and bond to the concrete substrate. With moisture vapor transmission and the resulting upward hydrostatic pressure, “pop” goes the coating. (All coating systems are only as strong as their primer coat). In Houstonโs hot and humid climate, these thin, poorly-penetrating coatings are a problem.
Our Two-Day Process for Lasting Results
Our crews take the time to ensure your concrete coating is installed correctly. On day one, we remove the old coating (if any) and apply a moisture-mitigating, high-build, 100%-solids epoxy primer as a moisture vapor barrier. It deeply penetrates the concrete, managing future moisture issues. We then broadcast your chosen flake blend into the wet primer coat. On day two, we apply two durable polyaspartic topcoats that provide UV resistance, chemical protection, and a sleek, long-lasting finish. This two-day process produces a 35+ mil thick coating system. It ensures your new floor can stand up to Houstonโs heat, humidity, and daily wear and tear for years to come.
