2. Preparing the Floor Surface

The next step is the repairing of the floor. If there are any chips or cracks present on the floor then you need to repair them. Level out the surface with the help of a self-leveling sealer.

Also, acid etches the concrete which will increase the surface roughness, and then the epoxy coating will have a good bond to the concrete. Be sure that the surface is thoroughly dried before applying the base coat application.

3. Base Coat Application

Once the whole surface is well prepared for coating then you have to apply the base coat. Make sure there is no dust present on the floor. You have to tape the areas where you do not want base coat-like walls.

Now start mixing the proper proportions of coating and hardener. Follow the instructions and be careful while mixing the product. Start applying and use a paint roller for a smooth finish.

4. Adding Decorative Chips

Make sure that there are no bubbles present and then apply decorative flakes or chips to the flooring. To spread chips on the floor uniformly, throw them upwards toward the ceiling. Apply the flakes to the flour until you achieve the result that you desire.

5. Applying the Top Coat

The last step is to apply an epoxy finisher. It is applied in the same manner as the base coat. You can add anti-slip abrasives such as aluminum oxide powder to make your surface less slippery. Let the coat dry for 24hours and then apply Acetone or MEK to clean up any spills.

Conclusion:

It is really easy to install an Epoxy floor without any professional help. You have to clean the floor thoroughly and apply then apply the mixture. Have a perfect and attractive floor with just a few steps.

Remember safety comes first so use protective equipment. Decorate your floor with chips or flakes and have your little perfect space. You can also connect us at https://www.a1epoxyflooring.com/melbourne/ for any expert help.
