What Is Epoxy Flooring, And How Does It Differ From Traditional Flooring Options?
Epoxy flooring is a high-performance flooring system made from a blend of resin and hardener that is applied as a liquid and then cures into a solid, durable surface. Unlike traditional flooring options such as tiles, hardwood, or carpet, epoxy is known for its exceptional strength, longevity, and chemical resistance. It creates a seamless, easy-to-clean surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, impacts, and various environmental conditions, making it a popular choice for industrial, commercial, and residential settings. Check out our different flooring solutions to find the answer to your project needs!
Polyaspartic flooring is similar to epoxy but offers a few distinct advantages. One of the primary benefits is its rapid curing time, allowing for a fast installation process and minimizing downtime. Despite its quick application, polyaspartic flooring maintains the durability and chemical resistance needed for various applications. It's especially useful in environments where a quick turnaround is essential, without compromising on quality or performance. Take a moment and peruse through our Tru-Grit Channel to learn more about how our experts handle the installation process!
Both epoxy and polyaspartic flooring systems offer unique advantages over traditional flooring types. They provide a seamless and durable surface that enhances both the aesthetics and functionality of your space, with customizable options to fit specific needs and design preferences.

How clean does the area need to be before the installation project date?
The surface must be completely free of dirt, dust, oils, grease, paint, and any loose or flaking materials before installation. Tru-Grit typically performs mechanical preparation, such as diamond grinding or shot blasting, to ensure a stable and clean substrate for optimal adhesion. Any cracks, spalling, or uneven areas should be repaired beforehand to avoid coating failure. Moisture or efflorescence must also be addressed, as excessive moisture can prevent proper curing and lead to bubbling, peeling, or delamination. Furniture, planters, or other obstacles need to be removed to allow full access. Proper preparation ensures a seamless, non-porous coating that bonds chemically to the concrete. Following these steps maximizes the durability, appearance, and lifespan of the installed flooring.
Can epoxy flooring be installed for outdoor projects?
Yes, epoxy and polyaspartic coatings can be used for outdoor concrete surfaces, including driveways, patios, pool decks, and lanais, provided the system is formulated for exterior conditions. Outdoor-grade coatings are UV-stable to prevent yellowing or fading and flexible to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. Proper surface preparation is essential to remove dirt, debris, old coatings, and moisture that could interfere with adhesion. Moisture vapor barriers are often recommended for areas prone to high humidity or rain exposure. Slip-resistant additives can be incorporated for wet or pool-adjacent areas. Installation conditions, such as ambient temperature and weather, must meet manufacturer guidelines to ensure full curing and long-term performance. Tru-Grit coatings are specifically engineered to withstand Florida’s climate, including high heat, humidity, and frequent rainfall.

What's the best coating for concrete?
The ideal concrete coating depends on the environment, traffic, and intended use. Polyaspartic and 100% solid epoxy coatings are highly recommended for garages, patios, and commercial applications due to their durability, chemical resistance, UV stability, and non-porous finish. Polyurea blends like Tru-DuraQuartz offer added flexibility for high-traffic and outdoor applications. For decorative or residential applications, flake or metallic epoxy systems provide aesthetic appeal along with protective performance. Coatings must be selected based on substrate condition, moisture levels, and exposure to UV or chemicals. Correct surface preparation is crucial to ensure adhesion and longevity. Tru-Grit coatings are formulated and installed in-house to meet these technical requirements.
What is the average cost of concrete coating?
The cost of concrete coating varies depending on the size of the area, the coating system selected, surface preparation requirements, and optional decorative features. On average, residential garage or patio coatings range from $6 to $18 per square foot, while commercial or industrial coatings may cost a bit more per square foot due to higher durability requirements. Decorative options, such as color flakes, metallic pigments, or custom logos, can increase material and labor costs. Additional prep work, including crack repair, leveling, or moisture mitigation, also impacts the total price. Tru-Grit provides a detailed, site-specific estimate after inspecting the surface and assessing project needs. While higher-quality coatings may have a higher upfront cost, they reduce long-term maintenance and increase lifespan, making them a cost-effective investment.
Are concrete coatings worth it?
Yes, high-quality concrete coatings provide both functional and aesthetic benefits that can make them worthwhile. They protect surfaces from chemical spills, oil stains, moisture intrusion, UV damage, and abrasion. Coatings create a seamless, non-porous surface that is easier to clean and maintain, reducing long-term repair costs. Decorative systems enhance visual appeal and can increase property value, especially for residential garages or commercial spaces. Durable coatings minimize downtime and maintenance in industrial or high-traffic areas. Over time, coatings prevent deterioration and extend the usable life of the concrete substrate. Tru-Grit’s systems are engineered to deliver long-term performance and cost efficiency.
What is the best cover for outdoor concrete?
For outdoor concrete, polyaspartic and UV-stable epoxy coatings are the best options. These coatings provide chemical, stain, and abrasion resistance while maintaining color stability under direct sunlight. Flexible formulations prevent cracking due to temperature changes and expansion/contraction cycles. Slip-resistant textures enhance safety for pool decks, patios, or driveways. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning, grinding, and moisture mitigation, is essential for adhesion. Optional decorative features, like flakes or metallic pigments, can improve aesthetics while preserving technical performance. Tru-Grit coatings are specifically formulated for Florida’s climate and high UV exposure, ensuring long-term durability for outdoor surfaces.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, Tru-Grit provides consultations for all residential, commercial, and industrial flooring projects. Consultations include an assessment of the existing surface, discussion of coating options, review of decorative features, and evaluation of project-specific requirements.
