Ensure the longevity of your epoxy flooring in Tampa and St. Petersburg commercial spaces by sidestepping these common pitfalls:
- Inadequate Floor Preparation: Concrete must be properly prepped with diamond grinding to accept epoxy. Simply sweeping won’t cut it; each inch needs acid etching or grinding to open pores for bonding.
- Moisture Presence: Moisture spells trouble for epoxy. Even humidity can hinder drying, leading to coating failure. Address any moisture issues before application.
- Poor-Quality Epoxy: Don’t skimp on quality. Low-grade epoxies produce short-lived results. Invest in reputable products or consult your installer for recommendations tailored to your concrete.
- Dirt, Dust, Grease Buildup: Cleanliness is key. Remove all grease, oil, and debris before coating to prevent bonding issues. Even dust particles can compromise adhesion.
- Unsuitable Coating for Environment: Choose coatings designed for your specific setting. Industrial spaces require different formulations than residential areas. Seek guidance from seasoned concrete professionals.
- Substandard Workmanship: Experience matters. Even with proper preparation and quality products, inexperienced application can lead to failure. Trust experts like DiamondShield Epoxy Floor Coatings for reliable results.
