Our Process
Pittsburgh Epoxy Flooring has raised the bar for epoxy flooring solutions and exceptional customer service. Our floors are unique, beautiful, and long-lasting. Epoxy flooring is one of the most resilient floor coverings there is, easily capable of standing up to high foot traffic without getting damaged. Our work can be found in homes, garages, schools, offices, gymnasiums, and industrial warehouses across the Pittsburgh area.
​
Epoxy isn’t just for floors anymore. Its strength and waterproofing ability have made it a popular choice for walls, basement interiors, countertops, showers, and even ceilings. It can also be applied to wooden flooring to protect it from water damage. Epoxy floor coating can benefit any area of your home or business where moisture could be a problem.
​
It Starts with a Call
Please look at our photo gallery to see how beautiful and unique epoxy floor coatings can be. Then, when you're ready to get your flooring done, call us, and we'll be glad to answer any questions. First, our team will visit your home or business to inspect and measure the workspace. Once that's finished, we will present you with a no-obligation estimate for the work you want to be done.
​
Prep Work
We begin each project by thoroughly sweeping and cleaning the surface we'll be working with. We wipe it down well to ensure no dirt, dust, or other contaminants get into the workspace. Then we clean the area with soap and water, rinse it, dry it, and give it a final wipe-down before we prepare the site for its epoxy coating.
​
Etching the Surface
The surface beneath the epoxy should be textured for the best adhesion. There are several ways to do this, depending on what type of surface we're working with. First, we use our professional-grade diamond grinding disks for concrete floors and counters to texturize the surface. Our team is equipped with Diamond bit grinders hooked up with HEPA vacuums to keep the workplace dust free. In addition, our variety of diamond tools is specifically designed for various types of concrete surfaces and adhesive removal.
​
Painting or Staining
You can choose any colors you like for your new flooring. We can paint or stain just about any surface before we apply the epoxy resin coating. Acid-stained concrete produces deep, rich natural colors to match any color palette. Likewise, we can use paint to create marble and granite effects on countertops. The choice is yours!
​
Special Additions
Jazz up your floor, walls, or countertops with metallic colors, glitter, or mica swirls. You can choose these additives' color, coverage, and style to make your flooring one-of-a-kind. For example, you could have dark countertops that refract the light in prismatic colors, white flooring with just a pinpoint of light reflected by metallic flecks, or anything in between. In addition, additives can turn your epoxy surfaces into works of art.
​
Epoxy Resin
When it's time to apply the epoxy resin coating, we use only the best and longest-lasting products on the market. We mix the epoxy resin and a hardening agent, then apply the coating to the floor and let it dry. We install new epoxy coatings and can also put new epoxy over old, worn epoxy surfaces.
​
Finishing Touches
Once the epoxy has finished hardening, we polish it to a high-gloss finish. The effect is awe-inspiring: the epoxy's surface reflects the light from nearby sources, brightening up the area. In addition, any glitter or metallic elements you add will catch and refract the light. Best of all, epoxy surfaces will last for decades, even with heavy use.
​
The Advantages of Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy is an affordable solution that produces expensive-looking results. However, it is incredibly low-maintenance and easy to clean. Because it is highly customizable, no two epoxy resin floors look quite the same, and it can be designed to match any color scheme. This is flooring that lasts and lasts. It is often used in industrial and laboratory settings because it is resistant to water and physical damage. It's also an excellent choice for families with pets.
