Before You Install Epoxy Flooring — Know This

Before You Install Epoxy Flooring — Know This
Epoxy flooring has become a popular upgrade for garages and basements, thanks to its sleek look and impressive durability. But what many homeowners don’t realize is that the success of an epoxy floor doesn’t start with the product; it starts with what’s underneath it.
Before you install epoxy flooring in your garage or basement, be sure to check moisture levels. Concrete may look dry on the surface, but it often holds hidden moisture below. That moisture can rise over time and cause major problems when trapped under a non-breathable coating like epoxy.
Even a small amount of retained moisture can lead to big issues. If the concrete underneath traps moisture, that epoxy might bubble or peel. These flaws don’t just affect appearance; they weaken the bond between the floor and the coating. Within months, the surface may begin to flake, lift, or show signs of failure, especially in humid or seasonally damp areas.
That’s why professional installers begin every epoxy project with a moisture test. This step determines whether the concrete is suitable for coating and what kind of surface prep is required. You need a proper moisture test and prep before coating. If the moisture reading is too high, steps like sealing or installing a moisture barrier might be necessary before applying epoxy.
Proper surface preparation is just as critical. The floor must be cleaned, degreased, and mechanically etched, usually by grinding or shot blasting, to create the ideal texture for adhesion. Skipping any of these steps is a fast way to waste time and materials.
It’s the difference between a glossy, durable floor and one that flakes apart in a year. Don’t skip this first step. A long-lasting epoxy finish relies on what’s done before the first coat is poured. With the right testing and prep, epoxy can deliver a tough, seamless surface.
When installed properly, epoxy floors can withstand heavy traffic, resist stains, and elevate the entire look of a space. But they’re only as strong as the foundation beneath them.
