  • What is an epoxy coating?

    Epoxy coating is a durable, protective floor system made from a combination of resin and hardener. Once applied, it cures into a strong, long-lasting surface that resists chemicals, stains, moisture, and impact.
  • How long does an epoxy floor last?

    With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy floors typically last 10–20 years. Industrial or high traffic areas may require touch-ups sooner, while residential garages often last longer.
  • Where can epoxy coatings be installed?

    Epoxy is extremely versatile and can be used in: • Garages • Outdoor spaces • Basements • Workshops • Retail spaces • Commercial buildings • Industrial facilities • Warehouses It’s ideal anywhere that needs a clean, durable, low-maintenance surface.
  • How long does installation take?

    Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on surface prep, repairs, and the size of the space. Curing time adds another 24–72 hours before the floor can handle foot or vehicle traffic.
  • Does epoxy require a lot of maintenance?

    Not at all. Epoxy floors are low-maintenance—regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner keeps them looking new. They resist oil and chemical stains, making cleanup easy.
  • Can epoxy be installed over existing concrete?

    Yes—however, the concrete must be properly prepared. This includes cleaning, repairing cracks, grinding, or shot blasting to ensure the epoxy bonds correctly.
  • Is epoxy slippery?

    Epoxy floors can be slippery when wet, but anti-slip additives (such as silica, vinyl flakes, or grit) can be incorporated to increase traction and safety.
  • What colors and styles are available?

    Epoxy offers many customization options, including: • Solid colors • Metallic finishes • Flake/chip systems • Quartz blends • High-gloss or matte finishes This allows customers to match the look they want with the durability they need.
  • Does temperature affect installation?

    Yes. Because Wisconsin weather can be extreme, epoxy is best installed when temperatures and humidity are within the recommended range. NEW Concrete LLC will schedule installations accordingly to ensure proper curing and long-term performance.
  • How much does epoxy flooring cost?

    Cost varies depending on surface prep, coating system, and square footage. Most residential epoxy projects range from $4–$10 per sq. ft., with specialty systems costing more. A customized quote is always the best way to determine exact pricing.
