Epoxy coatings are a popular choice for garage and basement floors. They offer a protective layer that enhances the appearance and functionality of these spaces. Their durability, resistance to stains and chemicals, and ease of maintenance make them an ideal way to elevate concrete flooring that would otherwise be dull and uninviting.

Epoxy Coating Process
- Preparation: Getting your concrete surface ready for the epoxy is paramount to the success and durability of the epoxy application. The Tabora team will ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free of any loose particles. This may involve etching or grinding the concrete to improve adhesion.
- Primer Application: We apply a primer to the prepared surface to ensure better bonding and durability.
- Epoxy Application: The epoxy coating is then applied with precision, typically in multiple coats, allowing each coat to cure before applying the next.
- Curing: The epoxy coating needs time to cure completely, which can take several days.
Answering Lancaster County’s Most Asked Questions About Epoxy Coatings
- What exactly is an epoxy coating?
Epoxy coating is a durable, protective film that is created by combining a resin and a hardener. When mixed, these two components undergo a chemical reaction that forms a strong, rigid coating. Epoxy coatings are known for their resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and moisture.
- How long do epoxy coatings last?
When expertly applied, epoxy coatings can last a lifetime. They are resistant to peeling or flaking, ensuring a long-lasting and low-maintenance flooring solution.
- Do epoxy-coated floors require waxing or polishing?
No. Epoxy-coated floors come with a sleek clear topcoat that resists scratching and chipping. They require minimal maintenance—just occasional sweeping or vacuuming.
- Is epoxy coating a good DIY project?
While some DIYers may choose to apply epoxy coatings themselves, professional installation can ensure a high-quality finish and proper application.
