Professional Epoxy Floor Coatings for Residential and Commercial Concrete
Choose the materials for the floor you want to build. Our colored epoxy floor coating kits offer 12 color options for garage, basement, workshop, and commercial projects. Clear epoxy resin kits provide a clear coating option and can also be used in metallic epoxy systems. These epoxy kits use a 100% solids formula and are listed as zero VOC.
Choose Your Floor System
A solid-color floor and a decorative flake floor need different material quantities. Colored epoxy serves as primer and finish in one for the solid-color application described on its product page. For a decorative system, compare your epoxy base coat, vinyl flake blends, and selected finish coat. Review PP-80 colored polyaspartic and PP-97 clear polyaspartic for the top-coat options and their application instructions.
Plan Before You Order
Measure the area you want to coat and use our Square Foot Calculator to select a system and estimate materials. Coverage depends on the surface, coating thickness, and application method. Kit sizes alone do not tell you how much a complete system will cover. Review the product details, technical data sheets, and application guides before ordering or mixing.
Epoxy Flooring Questions
Do I need a separate primer?
Our colored epoxy product is described as primer and finish in one. Follow its preparation and application instructions; this does not mean every existing floor is ready to coat without preparation.
How much colored epoxy do I need?
For a solid-color floor, the calculator plans two coats at 100 square feet per gallon when squeegeed and back-rolled. A single epoxy base coat under flakes or metallics uses a different rate. Choose the correct system in the calculator rather than applying one coverage figure to every project.
When can I use the floor again?
Follow the cure and return-to-service instructions for the products in your system. Temperature and application conditions matter, so do not use one generic cure time for every epoxy or polyaspartic coating.
What is the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?
They perform different jobs in a flooring system. Review our epoxy versus polyaspartic guide to compare the epoxy base and protective finish-coat options, then follow the selected products' instructions.
