When applied correctly, epoxy floor coverings provide many benefits, including increased durability and a smooth aesthetic finish. The problem is that not all epoxy floor installation jobs go exactly as planned. This is because many people turn their epoxy coating job into a DIY project. We strongly discourage doing this. Here are a few of the top reasons why you shouldn’t attempt epoxy floor installation on your own.
- Lack of tools and equipment. Properly applying an epoxy floor coating involves using special tools that you probably don’t have lying around. You can try to find these tools online or at your local hardware store, but what you’ll find won’t be the same high-quality tools that the professionals use. It’s best to leave the epoxy floor installation to someone who has the right tools for the job, so you know you’ll get the results you want.
- Subpar results. Don’t let overconfidence turn your floor into a mess. Many DIY projects yield subpar results simply because whoever did them doesn’t have the experience and skill necessary for a proper installation. If you incorrectly apply an epoxy floor coating, you’re more likely to accidentally create bumps or neglect areas of the flooring. You want a smooth finish on your flooring, so get the results you want with a professional installation service.
- Major time commitment. These days, most people don’t have a lot of spare time to devote to a project as large as an epoxy floor installation. These projects take a long time if you don’t know what you’re doing, especially if you mess up and need to correct mistakes. Our epoxy floor installation crew here at Patriot Concrete Coatings knows how to apply epoxy floor coatings efficiently, saving you time while you get the beautiful floor that you want.
