Preparing for Garage or Shop Upgrades

Remove all furniture, appliances, vehicles, and anything else on the floor: This step is crucial as it clears the space for work to be done without any obstructions. It prevents damage to belongings and allows for thorough cleaning and preparation of the floor surface.

Sweep out the entire area: Cleaning the area ensures that the floor surface is free from dust, debris, and other contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the epoxy coating.

Ensure access to water and power: Having access to water and power is essential for various aspects of the project, such as cleaning the floor and powering equipment or tools.

Prepare to keep pets and children out of the workspace for the duration of the project: Epoxy floor installation involves the use of chemicals and materials that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. Keeping pets and children away from the workspace ensures their safety and prevents any disruptions during the project.

Ensure understanding of expectations, particularly the variability with epoxy floors: It's important to communicate clearly with anyone involved in the project about what to expect, especially regarding the characteristics and potential variability of epoxy floors. This helps manage expectations and prevents misunderstandings during the process.

Expect 1 - 2 weeks without access, depending on the scale of the project: Epoxy floor installation typically requires adequate drying and curing time. The duration can vary depending on factors such as the size of the area, the complexity of the project, and environmental conditions. Being prepared for a period without access to the space ensures that there are no disruptions or inconveniences during the project.
