Victorville Garage Epoxy Flooring

Step 1

Before applying the epoxy product on the floor of your home in Hesperia, it is very important to prepare the surface. See to it that the surface is clean, with no dust and debris and other particles that can prevent the less viscous epoxy primer to penetrate your floor. Surfaces contaminated with oils need chemical cleaning. In Hesperia, we use shot-blasting to clean, polish and strengthen the surface and to create a rough and porous substrate that allows a strong mechanical and chemical bond between the epoxy product and your Hesperia home floor.

Grinding

Grinding ensures a strong bond between the epoxy and your Hesperia home floor by light texturing and opening the pores of the surface, as well as removing paints and thin coating. Grinding also corrects irregularities and imperfections. Diamond grounding is used in hard to reach areas to restore smoothness of the floors of your home in Hesperia.

Patching

Exposure to harsh conditions and unsuitable materials, as well as abrasions and impact can cause damage to your Hesperia home floor. Patch these irregularities on the floors of your Hesperia home using the highest quality polymer-modified patching compound available to epoxy floors. Patching the surface before applying the epoxy creates a smooth floor surface that the epoxy product can strongly bond to.

Epoxy Primer

Thinking that an epoxy primer is only added cost and an extra day of work when coating the surface, many contractors and home owners skip priming before applying the epoxy product. Though often overlooked, priming gives homeowners and businesses in Hesperia a wide array of benefits such as the best possible adhesion by penetrating into the concrete surface of your Hesperia home floor for a longer lasting and more durable new epoxy floor. Because primers allow a deeper penetration into the pores of the concrete surface, a better mechanical bond between the epoxy and the floors of your home in Hesperia is ensured.

Step 2

Sweeping and cleaning of the floor

Before applying the epoxy product on the surface of your Hesperia home floor, be sure to properly clean and prepare the surface. A clean and properly-prepared surface is the key to a successful bonding of the epoxy and the floor of your home in Hesperia. Clean, dry compressed air vacuum thoroughly cleans blast, sanding and grinding residues. Or Hesperia home owners can use a brush or broom if necessary. Greasy residues must also be thoroughly cleaned to allow proper bonding. Surfaces contaminated with oils can use chemical cleaning.

Epoxy Floor Priming & Filling

Step 3

Prime the floor with a suitable epoxy primer

In Hesperia, we prime our home floors before applying the epoxy product for a better adhesion of the epoxy coat to the surface. Priming with a suitable epoxy primer also reduces the risk of chipping and breaking of the new epoxy floor, as well as reducing the risk of bubbles and gasses from forming. By sealing off the substrate, priming also reduces chances of the coat being absorbed by the floor in your Hesperia home thus helping you save on your use of the epoxy.

Step 4

Fill all cracks, holes etc with epoxy grout

Smoothen the surfaces of your Hesperia home floor before priming by filling cracks, small holes and minor damages with epoxy grout. To improve the anchoring of the grout, slice thin cracks with a diamond cutter before filling to ensure a strong bond between the epoxy and the floors of your Hesperia home.

Applying The Epoxy Floor Coating

Step 5

Application of the first coat of epoxy paint

Mix two components of the epoxy and using an electric mixer, continuously stir for at least two minutes to ensure thorough blending. Make sure that no air is introduced into the mixture to prevent bubbles from forming on your new Hesperia home epoxy floor. A thorough blending of the mixture results to a nice consistency and an epoxy home floor that will properly harden.

Step 6

Apply the product with a roller

Because cheap rollers only shed, leaving little hairs and shreds of the material in the surface, make sure to use good quality rollers when applying the epoxy on the floor of your Hesperia home floor. Also, when applying additional coating, do not try to re-use rollers. After applying the first coating of epoxy, let it dry for about 24 hours or according to label directions. Holes and cracks on the floor of your home in Hesperia must also be sealed-filled before applying the next coat. Also check out for dust, bugs and other debris that may have gotten into your new Hesperia epoxy floor.

Last Epoxy Flooring Procedure

Step 7

Apply the final coat

Most epoxy products have a pot life of just about 40 minutes so make sure to mix only one bucket at a time and immediately use it on your Hesperia home floor. All cracks, holes and minor damages should be removed. Dust and other debris that may have collected on your home floor before the application of the epoxy will leave imperfections in the final texture of your new Hesperia epoxy floor.
