Frequently Asked Questions

The best flooring system depends on how the space is used, the level of foot or vehicle traffic, the desired appearance and how much maintenance you want long-term. Metallic flooring is often chosen for a more custom, high-end look, while flake and quartz systems are excellent for garages, commercial areas and spaces that need added texture and durability.

Metallic flooring creates a smooth, decorative finish with flowing movement, depth and a polished appearance, making it popular for showrooms, basements, salons, offices and upscale interior spaces. Flake flooring includes decorative vinyl flakes broadcast into the coating, creating a textured, slip-resistant surface that is commonly used in garages, workshops, utility rooms and commercial spaces.

A professionally installed epoxy or concrete coating system can last for many years when the surface is properly prepared and the right product is used for the environment. Longevity depends on traffic, cleaning habits, exposure to moisture or chemicals and whether the floor was installed with the correct coating system for the space.

Surface preparation is one of the most important steps in any flooring project because coatings need a clean, properly profiled surface to bond correctly. Grinding, repairing imperfections and removing contaminants help reduce the risk of peeling, bubbling or early wear.

Urethane cement is a highly durable flooring system often used in areas that need strong resistance to moisture, impact, thermal shock and heavy use. It is commonly chosen for commercial kitchens, food service areas, warehouses, production spaces and other demanding environments.

Quartz flooring is a decorative resin flooring system that uses colored quartz aggregate to create a durable, textured and refined finish. It offers a more elevated appearance than many standard coatings while still providing excellent strength, traction and performance for residential or commercial spaces.

Polished concrete is mechanically refined through multiple grinding and polishing steps to create a smooth, dense and reflective surface. Grind-and-seal concrete is ground to the desired look and then protected with a topical sealer, offering a clean finished appearance with a slightly different maintenance profile.

No. While garage floor coatings are very popular, epoxy and decorative concrete systems can also be used in basements, showrooms, retail spaces, offices, salons, restaurants, warehouses and other areas where a clean, durable and attractive surface is desired.

Most coated floors are easy to maintain with regular sweeping, dust mopping and occasional cleaning with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads and dragging sharp or heavy objects across the surface to help preserve the finish.

A professionally finished floor can improve the overall look, cleanliness and usability of a space, which may make the property feel more polished and well cared for. For higher-end homes and commercial properties, the right flooring system can create a more refined impression while also adding long-term function and durability.
