Epoxy Flooring Can Be Installed DIY
It is possible to install epoxy flooring yourself. However, if you choose to do that, you will most likely be sacrificing the quality and appearance that comes with a professional installation. DIY installation usually means that your epoxy flooring will have a shorter lifespan and less durability due to a higher probability of mistakes, incorrect installation, and improper materials.
Epoxy Flooring is the Same as Simply Painting the Floor
Paint is not nearly as durable or protective as epoxy and chips easily. Epoxy provides a protective coating from cracks, moisture, and stains to the concrete underneath, while paint does not contain the hardener or resin needed for this purpose. Epoxy is also chemical resistant, while paint is not.
Concrete Only Needs a Light Cleaning Before Installation
If the concrete is not prepared appropriately, the epoxy coating will not adhere properly and will not last as long as it would have if the concrete was correctly prepared by a professional installer.
Epoxy is Slippery and Dangerous
Epoxy flooring is slippery when wet, but this is easily resolved by simply adding texture to your flooring. DreamCrete’s metallic epoxy flooring provides a level of safety by reflecting light efficiently, increasing visibility, and is also skid resistant.
