Floor Coating FAQ
How long does Floor Coating last?
Our premium Floor Coating systems typically last 10-15 years in residential applications and 7-10 years in commercial settings with proper maintenance. The longevity depends on several factors including surface preparation, application quality, traffic volume, and maintenance routine.
Can Floor Coating be applied over existing coatings?
In most cases yes, but proper surface preparation is crucial. The existing coating must be well-adhered, clean, and properly profiled. We recommend performing adhesion tests before application. For optimal results, it's often best to completely remove old, failing coatings before applying new Floor Coating.
Is Floor Coating slippery when wet?
Standard glossy Floor Coating can become slippery when wet, which is why we offer anti-slip additives that can be incorporated into the top coat. These additives create microscopic texture to improve traction while maintaining easy cleanability. We recommend anti-slip options for areas prone to moisture like garages, pool decks, and commercial kitchens.
Maintenance Tips for Floor Coating
- Regular sweeping or dust mopping to remove abrasive particles
- Use pH-neutral cleaners for routine cleaning
- Avoid harsh chemicals like paint strippers or strong acids
- Apply maintenance coat every 2-3 years in high-traffic areas
- Use floor protectors under heavy equipment

Additional Floor Coating FAQ
How soon can I walk on new Floor Coating?
Light foot traffic is usually possible after 12-24 hours, depending on product formulation and environmental conditions. However, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before normal use, and 72 hours before placing heavy furniture or equipment. Full cure (maximum hardness) typically occurs within 7 days.
Can Floor Coating be used outdoors?
Yes, but you need to select UV-stable formulations like polyurethane or certain epoxy hybrids. Standard epoxy Floor Coating will yellow and degrade when exposed to direct sunlight. For outdoor applications, we also recommend adding UV inhibitors and using a non-slip texture for wet conditions.
What's the difference between water-based and solvent-based Floor Coating?
Water-based Floor Coating has lower VOC content, easier cleanup, and less odor during application, making it better for occupied spaces. Solvent-based versions typically offer superior chemical resistance and faster cure times but require more ventilation during application. For most residential applications, water-based provides sufficient performance with easier application.
