What is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy is a thermosetting resin applied as a multi-layer coating over concrete. It consists of a two-part mixture—an epoxy resin and a polyamine hardener—that chemically react upon mixing to form a rigid, plastic-like material that is exceptionally strong, stable, and bonds permanently to the substrate.
Universal Benefits of Epoxy Coatings
Choosing a professionally installed epoxy system delivers measurable, long-term performance advantages:
Exceptional Durability: Highly resistant to impact, abrasion, and heavy equipment traffic, offering decades of service life.
Superior Chemical Resistance: Impervious to oil, grease, gasoline, cleaning solutions, and many industrial chemicals.
Seamless & Non-Porous: The finish seals the concrete, preventing moisture and contaminants from penetrating the slab. This makes it non-absorbent and extremely hygienic.
Safety Enhancements: Can be customized with anti-slip aggregates (e.g., quartz or silica sand) to meet safety standards and prevent slips and falls.
Low Maintenance: Requires only basic sweeping and mopping. The seamless finish eliminates grout lines and crevices where dirt can accumulate.
Aesthetic Versatility: Available in a vast range of solid colors, decorative flakes, and metallic pigments for a custom, high-gloss finish.
Our Seamless Installation Promise
1. Garage Flooring: Residential & Light Commercial
Concrete Protection : Prevents concrete dusting, chipping, and surface deterioration caused by freeze/thaw cycles, road salt, and hot tires.
Flake System: The most popular choice, providing a granite-like texture and superior slip resistance.
Oil & Stain Resistance : Spills bead up on the surface and wipe clean instantly, preventing permanent staining and etching.
Solid Color: Classic, high-gloss finish in gray or tan for a clean, professional look.
Curb Appeal: Transforms a drab, dusty concrete slab into a finished, showroom-quality space.

2. Commercial & Industrial Application
In industrial and commercial settings, epoxy flooring is a regulatory necessity that ensures safety, productivity, and compliance.
Ideal Applications:
- Manufacturing Facilities and Warehouses
- Commercial Kitchens and Food Processing Plants
- Hospitals and Laboratories
- Showrooms and Retail Spaces
Commercial Performance Requirements:
- Impact Resistance: Formulations available to withstand forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy machinery without cracking.
- Thermal Shock Resistance: Specialized systems designed for areas undergoing extreme temperature changes (e.g., freezers or near ovens).
- Compliance: Meets necessary standards for food preparation zones and is easy to clean to maintain hygienic environments.
- Custom Safety Zones: Line striping, safety markings, and designated traffic lanes can be embedded directly into the coating.
The Clear Choice Difference: Precision Epoxy Installation
Epoxy performance is 90% preparation. Our expert team follows a rigorous process that differentiates a DIY attempt from a professional, long-lasting coating.
Diamond Grinding: We use professional-grade diamond grinders to mechanically profile the concrete, ensuring the surface is porous and contamination-free. This creates the strongest possible bond.
Crack & Joint Repair: All cracks, pits, and joint defects are addressed with professional fillers before coating begins.
Primer & Base Coat: We apply high-solid, low-VOC epoxy systems that cure properly and bond deep into the concrete pores.
Flake/Broadcast & Top Coat: Depending on the system chosen, the decorative flakes are broadcast to saturation, and a durable, UV-stable Polyaspartic or Polyurethane topcoat is applied for maximum protection and longevity.

We offer a diverse selection of high-quality materials to meet every style and performance need, including Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), Engineered Hardwood, Laminate, Carpet, and specialized Waterproof and Epoxy Flooring solutions.
LVP is a highly durable, multi-layer flooring designed to realistically replicate the look of natural wood. It is a waterproof option, making it ideal for high-moisture areas like kitchens, basements, and bathrooms. It offers excellent style, performance, and easy maintenance.
Absolutely. Modern, professionally installed hardwood adds significant value to your home. Depending on your choice, materials like refinishable hardwood are backed by residential warranties ranging up to 50+ years, making it a multi-decade investment.
While both are durable and cost-effective alternatives to hardwood, LVP is made primarily of PVC composites, giving it superior waterproof capabilities. Laminate is wood-based and generally offers excellent durability and scratch resistance but is typically not considered waterproof.
