You have to provide minimal maintenance for an epoxy floor in Pacific, WA to keep it in top shape. Here are the best practices that we have listed for your epoxy floors:
- Keep the surfaces dirt and grit free
Especially if you are moving machinery or vehicles on and off the floor. Dirt and grit will embed or scratch an epoxy floor if allowed to remain there. It’s a good idea if you remove all sand or dirt on a regular basis because even though Epoxy floors are tough they can start to show the damage from multiple scratches over time. Best way to do that is to use a shop vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
- Avoid using soap-based cleaners
Soap-based floor cleaners leave a haze on the epoxy flooring that builds up over time. Epoxy floors do not need soap, warm water, and a good mop or deck-scrubbing brush should be just fine.
- Spot cleaning
Often you only need to vacuum or sweep a small area of the floor where something has been spilled or tracked in. The liquid that has been spilled needs to be vacuumed up along with any dirt and grime with a shop vac and then clean the area with a mop and warm water.
- Heavily soiled epoxy floors
Often you only need to vacuum or sweep a small area of the floor where something has been spilled or tracked in. The liquid that has been spilled needs to be vacuumed up along with any dirt and grime with a shop vac and then clean the area with a mop and warm water.
- Stains
Some stains, such as rust, need to be lightly scrubbed with a kitchen scrubbing sponge or a soft deck brush and warm water. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemicals like comets, they are too abrasive. Use soft-scrub and a moderately abrasive scrubbing pad or brush.
- Oil, car chemicals and other chemicals
Wiped up antifreeze, oil and other car-related chemicals with shop towels or a paper towel and disposed of properly. The important thing about car spills is to not allow them to sit on the floor surface for too long. Even engine oil has chemicals that could be potentially hazardous to an epoxy floor.
Before you decide whether your floor needs a non-slip additive, you must consider the climate in your area. The primary function of the garage floor is another thing to consider.
Here’s how to make your epoxy garage floor less slippery:
- Shark Grip
This is the easiest way to make your garage epoxy flooring slip-resistant, reduce gloss as well as fine texturing your epoxy garage. The best thing about shark grip is that you can add it to most paints and coatings. It also mixes perfectly with almost all latex and oil-based paints as well as stains.
- Aluminum Oxide Additive
This is the most ideal additive for an industrial setting where maximum grip is needed. It adds an extremely aggressive, durable, long-lasting, and tough anti-slip and texture profile when added to the garage epoxy flooring. It does not change the coating’s physical properties and bonds well into the coating.
- Silica Sand
You can add sand on a final coating to form a bumpy skid-resistance surface. Since sand is visible when added with a clear coat, you can use a colored topcoat to make it more appealing. However, silica sand forms small cracks after some time and can break down due to heavy traffic.
- Using Containment Mats
If you live in an area prone to precipitation, containment mats are your ideal solution. The mats are designed to collect lots of water and you can hang them to dry faster. They are also made to absorb fluids, thus making the epoxy floor skid resistant.
- Indoor or Outdoor Carpet Runners
The best thing about these carpets is that you can choose among various colors, shapes, lengths, and widths. All these available options will help choose what fits your needs and preferences while keeping your garage flooring less slippery.
The curing time for epoxy flooring is at least seven days at 77º F (25º C) or warmer, and at least 10 days more if temperature is below 77º F.
