Can Epoxy Be Installed in One Day?

If not done by professionals, most epoxy coatings you find in stores cannot be installed in one day. These typical DIY kits often require long cure times, are prone to failure, and may not withstand Florida’s unique climate. Tru-Grit Flooring, however, formulates and manufactures our own Polyaspartic and Epoxy coatings and handles the installation ourselves. What does this mean for you? We have complete control over the quality and performance of our materials, allowing us to install most indoor flooring systems in just one day. Outdoor projects, like patios, driveways, and pool decks, are typically completed in no more than 2–3 days without compromising durability.

The Tru-Grit Advantage: Polyaspartic and Epoxy Systems

Tru-Grit Flooring’s in-house Polyaspartic and Epoxy systems are designed specifically for Florida’s environment. Unlike traditional epoxy, our coatings cure quickly without sacrificing strength or flexibility. Polyaspartic coatings can be returned to service in as little as 24 hours, making them ideal for homeowners and businesses who need minimal downtime. Epoxy coatings provide exceptional adhesion, chemical resistance, and abrasion protection, giving your floor long-lasting durability even under heavy traffic, frequent spills, or hot, humid conditions. Additionally, our coatings are UV-stable and resistant to yellowing, ensuring that your floors remain visually appealing for years.

Fast installation is only effective if the surface is properly prepared

Tru-Grit Flooring uses professional-grade mechanical diamond grinding to remove old coatings, adhesives, or imperfections and open the concrete’s pores for optimal bonding. Any cracks, chips, or uneven areas are repaired to create a smooth, level surface. For projects that require additional protection, we also apply moisture vapor barriers to prevent bubbling or peeling over time. Proper preparation ensures your epoxy or Polyaspartic system not only looks great but performs reliably in Florida’s humid and often harsh climate.

Where One-Day Installation Works Best

One-day epoxy and Polyaspartic installations are perfect for a wide range of spaces, both residential and commercial. These systems allow for minimal disruption while providing durable, high-quality results.

Residential Spaces: 

Garage floors are the most common application, returning to full use quickly with minimal inconvenience. But one-day installations are also ideal for indoor rooms such as kitchens, laundry rooms, playrooms, or even bedrooms where a seamless, easy-to-clean surface is desired.

Commercial Spaces: 

One-day installations are also highly effective for small business storefronts, public restrooms, office reception areas, or showroom floors. These applications allow businesses to maintain operations with minimal interruption while upgrading to a professional, long-lasting floor.

Tru-Grit Flooring customizes every project based on the space’s size, traffic, and usage needs, delivering professional, long-lasting results on a schedule that works for you.

When More Time Is Needed

While many indoor floors can be installed in a single day, larger or more complex projects may require additional time. Industrial floors, large outdoor areas, or spaces with extensive concrete repair work may take 2–3 days to complete. Tru-Grit always provides a clear timeline upfront, so clients know what to expect and can typically plan around installation without surprises.
