DIY VS Professional Epoxy Flooring

As you have probably seen from the DIY kits at the local home improvement store, the only real options for customization are the flakes you can buy. In most cases, these flakes won’t offer many different color choices and are often poor quality. When you choose to use a professional contractor, you will experience an in-depth options for customization.
For example, our team offers the epoxy flakes but with greater color variations with options for single-colored or multi-colored variations. An option that you won’t be able to achieve with DIY kits is the metallic epoxy floor as experience is required to work with this material to get a proper finish. With metallic epoxy, you can create finishes that mimic the appearance of waves, lava, and clouds.
Professional assistance can also help you with a newer form of customization, logo implementation. We can lay and create custom logos or emblems in your epoxies to craft something unique to you. When it comes to customization, DIY kits come nowhere close to professionally installed systems.

When considering DIY your epoxy flooring without experience, you might be trying to bite off more than you can chew and before you know it, you’ve been working on your epoxy for weeks. With a professional epoxy flooring, you can expect a faster turn around with a finish you can rely on. For example, concrete repairs might need to be made and expensive equipment will need to be rented in order to properly prepare your slab as the acid etching method won’t promote a strong bond and will require the use of ammonia to neutralize the acid.
A professional team will use equipment like diamond wheel grinders or shot blasting to prepare the slab, properly profiling the concrete to promote a strong bond and enabling a process that can only take hours. On average, a professional will only take 2 days to install a new epoxy system with a cure time of only 72 hours before vehicles can be on its surface.
