Why You Shouldn’t Use a DIY Epoxy Kit vs. Hiring a Professional.
While at-home epoxy kits may seem like a cost-effective option, they often lack the quality, durability, and preparation needed for a long-lasting floor. Professional epoxy installers use industrial-grade materials, specialized equipment, and proven installation techniques that ensure the coating properly bonds to the concrete surface.
DIY kits typically have lower solids content, which means the finish is thinner, less durable, and more prone to peeling, chipping, or yellowing over time. In contrast, professional systems are designed to handle heavy traffic, chemicals, and moisture—making them ideal for garages, commercial, and industrial spaces.
Additionally, professionals perform thorough surface preparation, including diamond grinding or shot blasting, which is crucial for adhesion. Most DIY users skip or underperform this step, leading to early failure of the coating.
In short, a professional epoxy floor offers superior appearance, longevity, and performance, turning your floor into a durable, seamless surface that will last for years—something a DIY kit simply can’t match.
Is it dusty to do an epoxy floor?
The epoxy flooring process itself is not dusty, but the preparation stage can produce some dust. Before applying epoxy, the concrete surface must be properly ground or shot-blasted to ensure strong adhesion. This surface preparation can create dust if not managed correctly.
At Leading Edge Epoxy Floor Systems, we use professional dust-control equipment and industrial HEPA-filter vacuums during grinding to keep the area as clean as possible. Once preparation is complete, the epoxy installation process is virtually dust-free, resulting in a smooth, clean, and durable finish.
Are Epoxy Floors Slippery?
Epoxy floors are generally not slippery when dry. In fact, they create a smooth, seamless surface that offers excellent traction under normal conditions. However, like most hard surfaces, they can become slick when wet, oily, or contaminated.
To improve slip resistance, non-slip additives such as quartz, aluminum oxide, or polymer grit can be mixed into the topcoat. These textures are commonly used in garages, commercial kitchens, warehouses, and industrial spaces where safety is a priority.
With the right finish and maintenance, epoxy floors can provide both durability and safe footing for residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

What Is a Full Flake Epoxy Floor?
A full flake epoxy floor (also called epoxy flake flooring or flake broadcast epoxy) is a type of resin-based flooring system where colored vinyl or acrylic flakes (chips) are broadcast (spread) into a base coat of epoxy (or polyaspartic/polyurea) and then sealed with a clear topcoat. It’s very popular in garages, basements, showrooms, and commercial spaces because it’s both durable and decorative.
Here’s a breakdown:
How It’s Made
- Surface Prep – The concrete is diamond ground or shot-blasted to ensure good adhesion.
- Base Coat – A tinted epoxy, polyurea, or polyaspartic resin is rolled on.
- Full Flake Broadcast – Colored flakes are generously scattered until the floor is completely covered (“full broadcast”). This hides imperfections and creates texture.
- Scrape & Vacuum – Excess flakes are removed and the surface is leveled.
- Clear Topcoat – A UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat seals the flakes, giving a glossy, matte, or satin finish.
Benefits
- Durable – Resistant to impacts, chemicals, abrasions, and hot tire pickup.
- Decorative – Wide range of flake colors, blends, and sizes (1/8″ is most common).
- Slip-Resistant – The texture from flakes adds grip (optional anti-slip additives can be mixed in).
- Low Maintenance – Easy to clean with mild soap and water.
- Hides Imperfections – Flakes mask cracks, stains, and uneven surfaces better than solid epoxy.
- Long Lifespan – With proper installation, can last 10–20+ years.
Where It’s Used
- Residential garages & basements
- Commercial kitchens, warehouses, and showrooms
- Retail spaces & offices
- Outdoor patios & pool decks (with UV-stable topcoats)
Common Options
- Flake Size – Typically 1/16″, 1/8″, or 1/4″. Smaller flakes = smoother finish; larger = more texture.
- Finish – Glossy, satin, or matte.
- Thickness – Usually 1/8″–1/4″ overall with flakes and topcoat.
What is a Quartz Epoxy Floor?
A Quartz epoxy floor is a seamless resin-based flooring system that uses colored quartz sand (granules) instead of vinyl flakes. These quartz granules are broadcast into the epoxy (or polyaspartic/polyurea) base coat, then sealed with clear resin. The result is a very hard, textured, and decorative surface that’s also extremely slip-resistant.
It’s considered one of the most durable and sanitary epoxy flooring systems available.
How It’s Installed
- Surface Prep – Concrete is diamond-ground or shot-blasted.
- Primer/Base Coat – Epoxy or polyurea resin is rolled down.
- Quartz Broadcast – Colored quartz granules are broadcast into the resin until rejection (completely covered).
- Scrape & Re-broadcast (optional) – Sometimes done in multiple layers for extra durability.
- Seal Coat / Topcoat – A clear epoxy, polyurethane, or polyaspartic resin is applied to lock in the quartz and create the desired finish (matte to glossy).
Benefits
- Extreme Durability – Much tougher than standard epoxy; withstands heavy impact, abrasion, and chemicals.
- Slip-Resistant – The quartz texture adds strong traction (customizable grit levels).
- Decorative – Available in many colors and blends (granite-like appearance).
- Hygienic – Seamless and non-porous; resists bacteria and moisture → ideal for sanitary environments.
- UV & Chemical Resistant – Can handle harsh cleaners, oils, grease, and industrial chemicals.
- Long Lifespan – 15–20+ years with proper maintenance.
Things to Know
- Slippery When Wet – Smooth finish needs anti-slip additives if used in kitchens, bathrooms, or garages.
- UV Sensitivity – Standard epoxy can amber/yellow in sunlight; using a UV-stable topcoat or polyaspartic base is key.
- Installation Skill – Very artistic process; results vary widely depending on the installer’s technique.
- Maintenance – Easy to clean (mop or mild detergent), but scratches can be more noticeable on glossy metallics than on flake floors.
- Cost – Typically higher than flake epoxy because of artistry and materials (ranges $8–$15 per sq ft professionally installed, depending on design complexity).
Where It’s Popular
- Luxury residential interiors (living rooms, basements, kitchens)
- Commercial spaces (salons, boutiques, showrooms, restaurants, hotels)
- Artistic feature floors (lobbies, offices, galleries)
What is a Metallic Epoxy Floor?
A metallic epoxy floor is created by mixing metallic pigments (fine mica powders) into clear epoxy or polyaspartic resin. When applied, the pigments move and settle in unique patterns, creating effects like marble, flowing rivers, clouds, or lava-like swirls. No two metallic epoxy floors look exactly the same.
How It’s Installed
- Surface Prep – Just like with flake epoxy, the concrete is diamond-ground or shot-blasted for adhesion.
- Base Coat – Often a solid color epoxy (like black, white, or gray) is laid down to enhance depth.
- Metallic Coat – Clear epoxy mixed with metallic pigments is poured and manipulated with brushes, rollers, or blowers to create desired effects.
- Artistic Effects – Installers may use solvents, heat guns, or leaf blowers to push pigments around for marbled, cloudy, or fluid looks.
- Topcoat – A clear UV-stable polyurethane or polyaspartic sealer protects the surface and adds gloss, satin, or matte finish.
Benefits
- Aesthetic Impact – High-end, modern look; ideal for showrooms, luxury homes, bars, offices.
- Durable – Resistant to abrasion, impacts, and chemicals when properly sealed.
- Seamless – No grout lines or joints, unlike tile or stone.
- Customizable – Hundreds of pigment color blends and installation techniques.
- Reflective – Glossy finish can brighten a space.
Where It’s Used
- Commercial kitchens & food prep areas
- Hospitals & labs
- Schools & locker rooms
- Industrial plants & warehouses
- Pool decks & outdoor areas (when sealed with UV-stable topcoat)
Cost
- Professional installation: about $6–$12 per sq. ft., depending on thickness, layers, and topcoat.
- Higher than flake systems, but lower than high-end metallic designs.
Finish Options
- Single broadcast → thinner, lighter duty (still strong).
- Double broadcast → extra durability for industrial/heavy traffic.
- Topcoat sheen → glossy, satin, or matte depending on preference.
What Is a Polished Epoxy Floor?
A polished epoxy floor is a type of high-performance flooring system that combines the sleek, reflective appearance of polished concrete with the durability and chemical resistance of epoxy coatings. It’s commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential settings for both its beauty and toughness.
Where It’s Commonly Used
- Showrooms & retail stores – for a clean, modern aesthetic
- Commercial offices – reflects light and makes spaces feel larger
- Garages & workshops – easy to clean and durable
- Restaurants & kitchens – hygienic and spill-resistant
- Residential basements & living spaces – stylish and low maintenance
