Epoxy Floor Coating

At Keynote Construction, we have the equipment and experience to make your epoxy floor project a success. Our products consist of high performance 100% solids, two component epoxy. Our high performance 100% solids resin-based epoxy floor coating bonds mechanically to your surface to create an impervious barrier that will guard your floor from damage caused by salt, fluids, chemicals and automobile wear and tear. It is also a great radon gas barrier for basement floors. Unlike other epoxy concrete floor paints, our chemically formulated epoxies are not water or solvent based, which means that when we apply the coating there is no product shrinkage due to evaporation.

The most important part of applying an epoxy floor system is to ensure proper surface preparation. Our specialized teams will either shot blast or diamond grind your existing concrete floors to provide an adequate profile to assist in paint adhesion. Using a 100% solids resin-based epoxy floor coating will ensure long lasting adhesion and wearability. For your convenience, we offer 20 different custom-designed colors to match your flooring needs and complement your personal style. Don’t see what you’re looking for? At Keynote Construction, we can also manufacture a custom color based on your specific needs. Custom colors can be mixed to match your favorite vehicle, sports team or company logo.

What is Epoxy?

We’ll start by ending some confusion about epoxy right now. An epoxy floor coating is not paint. Paint for garage floors is a latex acrylic product. Some paints will have a small percentage of epoxy added to the mix to make it more durable than standard paint, but it is still paint. These are known as epoxy paints or 1-part epoxy paint.

Unlike paint that has to dry, epoxy actually cures. When the two parts are mixed, a chemical reaction is started which creates an exothermic curing process. This curing process produces polymer structures that are closely cross-linked giving epoxy its superior strength and durability. The end result is a coating that is much thicker than paint and bonds tenaciously to a properly prepared surface.

Benefits of Epoxy Flooring

  • Durable

    Concrete floors coated in epoxy last longer and resist considerable wear, thus saving you money and allowing you to manage other business concerns.

  • High impact

    Once the epoxy has been converted to a solid polymer, it becomes incredibly strong and prevents chemical breakdown.

  • Easy to clean

    Once concrete has the epoxy coating, it is no longer porous since sealed and is therefore easier to clean.

  • Aesthetic

    Coatings are usually available in an array of colors and patterns to fit your specific style.

  • Chemically resistant

    Epoxy coatings can survive continued exposure to potent chemicals, which is perfect for warehouses or plants that may be exposed to such materials.

  • Safety

    Our coatings are also resistant to slippage, temperature, extreme impact and even fire, maintaining both the safety of your employees and your building.

  • Brightness

    Typically, a high gloss option for coatings can be provided, which improves lighting in your facility to a significant degree due to reflection.

  • Lowers vehicle maintenance

    Choosing an epoxy coating can also reduce wear on vehicles in your facility because it is more forgiving on machinery.

  • Environmentally Friendly

    Lastly, epoxy coatings are a green option for your business because of the reduction in material usage and low VOC’s. It is a great alternative to adding on a completely new floor or replacing vehicles due to damage.
