Corona Epoxy Concrete Overlayment Floors

Step 1

The epoxy product bonds best if the surface of your Corona home floor is clean so make sure to properly prepare and clean the surface before applying the product. Corona homeowners clean, strengthen and polish the surface by shot-blasting. Shot-blasting also allows the epoxy primer to penetrate the surface of the floors of your home in Corona for a strong chemical and mechanical bond.

Grinding

Before grinding, sweep and clean the floor of your Corona home of any greasy spots. A very important part in the surface preparation, grinding corrects a variety of irregularities on the Corona home floor by opening the pores, lightly texturing the surface and removing paints and thin coatings. Diamond grinding is used to utilize hard to reach areas. Grinding results to a significant improvement in the smoothness of the floors of your Corona home before applying the epoxy.

Patching

Harsh conditions and unsuitable materials cause damage to the floor of your home in Corona. These irregularities must be patched using the highest-quality quality polymer-modified patching compound. Grind-smooth the surface after patching before applying the epoxy product on the Corona home floor.

Epoxy Primer

Although many contractors and homeowners avoid priming because of the extra day of work and additional cost involved, in Corona, we never believe claims that priming is not important. Priming actually offers a lot of benefits such as creating the best possible adhesion between the epoxy and the home floor by reducing the risk of bubbles and gasses. By penetrating deep into the concrete, an epoxy primer ensures a better chemical and mechanical bond and gives longer life to the new Corona epoxy floor.

Step 2

Sweeping and cleaning of the floor

Clean dry compressed air or vacuum is used to thoroughly clean the surface of the Corona home floor. Use a broom or brush if necessary. Surface preparation and cleaning is very important to ensure a strong bond between the epoxy and the floor of your home in Corona.

Epoxy Floor Priming & Filling

Step 3

Prime the floor with a suitable epoxy primer

Priming is a very important part in the preparation of the surface to ensure a better bond with the epoxy. Aside from reducing the formation of bubbles especially in thicker coats where air trapped in the concrete slab causes gas bubbles and pinholes to form on the new epoxy floor, priming also reduces breaking and chipping of the surfaces and actually gives Corona epoxy floors longer life.

Step 4

Fill all cracks, holes etc with epoxy grout

Filling is important to ensure a smooth Corona home floor before the epoxy is applied. Use an epoxy grout to fill holes and cracks before priming. Thin cracks are sliced with a diamond cutter to make sure a strong bond is created between the home floor surface and grout.

Applying The Epoxy Floor Coating

Step 5

Application of the first coat of epoxy paint

A nice consistency of the epoxy mixture results to a smooth finish of the new epoxy floor and for the floor to properly harden, so make sure to thoroughly blend the epoxy by using an electric mixer. Continuously stir for two minutes and make sure that no air is introduced into the mixture to prevent air bubbles from forming on your new Corona epoxy floor.

Step 6

Apply the product with a roller

Be sure to use high quality durable rollers when applying the epoxy product. Cheap rollers shed and you surely don’t want shreds of the material and small hairs left on the surface of your new Corona epoxy floor. When applying additional coats, do not try to re-use rollers. Before applying the final coat, let the coating dry for about 24 hours or follow label directions. Also check for dust, debris and bugs that may have fallen on the surface of the floor in your Corona home. Thin cracks and small holes must be sealed-filled.

Step 7

Apply the final coat

When mixing the epoxy, make sure to mix just one bucket at a time because epoxy products have a pot life of just 40 minutes. After mixing, immediately use the product on the floor of your home in Corona. Make sure to remove all debris and dust to ensure a smooth new epoxy floor finish without irregularities.
