At Epoxy Floors NJ, we believe a floor is only as good as the preparation behind it. Since 1988, our team has refined a rigorous installation process designed to transform vulnerable concrete into a high-performance, seamless surface. Whether we are working on a heavy-duty warehouse or a custom showroom, we follow these critical steps to ensure a lifetime of durability.
Veterinary clinics, high-volume dog kennels, and busy animal shelters absolutely require highly specialized flooring solutions. Raw concrete is incredibly porous and quickly absorbs highly dangerous animal waste, leading to permanent foul odors and severe bacteria growth. By totally upgrading these sensitive facilities with our seamless resinous coatings, owners instantly guarantee an incredibly sanitary, highly durable, and wonderfully odor-free environment for the animals.
Preparing the Facility before your epoxy floor installation
To firmly guarantee a highly sanitary floor that easily survives intense animal claws and frequent washing, the raw concrete must be heavily treated beforehand. The absolute most common cause of thick resin coating failure is poor or heavily rushed preparation of the existing concrete substrate. We spend a tremendous amount of time carefully treating the slab, completely ensuring it is totally free of sealers.
To strongly prevent any chance of failure, we always begin the installation of epoxy flooring with incredibly aggressive mechanical surface preparation. We completely reject dangerous acid etching, heavily relying instead on massive industrial diamond grinders. This heavy machinery thoroughly profiles the hard concrete, safely opening its microscopic pores to boldly allow the thick moisture primer to securely and permanently bond.
Safe Grinding in the installation of epoxy flooring
Aggressive industrial diamond grinding is absolutely necessary to establish a deeply penetrating mechanical bond between the raw slab and the incredibly thick solid resin layers. As the powerful grinders completely strip away the smooth top layer, they heavily create a highly specific, rough texture. This textured surface safely allows the specialized liquid coatings to deeply penetrate the concrete, fiercely preventing any future peeling.
By successfully grinding away the incredibly weak, highly contaminated top layer of the animal facility floor, we successfully reveal a perfectly pristine, rock-solid foundation. This essential mechanical process heavily ensures that the thick industrial coatings have a perfect surface to tightly grip onto. Proper diamond grinding is truly the single most important secret to ensuring your new sanitary floor will survive heavy commercial use.
Fixing Animal Damage Before your epoxy floor installation
Our highly certified commercial technicians will never apply thick premium solid coatings over a severely cracked foundation that aggressively traps dangerous animal waste. During the vital preparation phase of your complete epoxy floor installation, we intensely inspect the entire work area for hidden cracks, deep pits, or rough spalls. Every single structural flaw must be permanently repaired to strongly guarantee a flawless finish.
We safely utilize highly advanced, heavy-duty high-strength resinous fillers to seamlessly and permanently repair these dangerous structural imperfections. By meticulously patching every large crack and thoroughly filling every deep void, we fully restore the immense structural strength of the concrete slab. This absolute mandatory repair step safely guarantees the final seamless surface is totally safe, incredibly flat, and perfectly ready for the thick solids.
Sealing Out Odors in the installation of epoxy flooring
Hidden moisture vapor transmission rapidly coming up through the porous concrete slab is an incredible threat to any thick solid sanitary system. This terrible moisture leads to rapid outgassing, which predictably causes massive surface bubbles and total coating delamination. To completely neutralize this severe threat, we always apply a highly specialized moisture-vapor barrier primer to heavily seal the kennel floor.
This incredibly advanced, top-tier moisture-mitigating primer acts as a permanent, solid shield against highly dangerous and destructive hydrostatic pressure. Once the primer safely and completely cures, it tightly locks out dampness and safely keeps all trapped air firmly inside the concrete substrate. This absolutely critical step fiercely protects your flooring investment, heavily guaranteeing the thick solid resin layers remain flawlessly bonded and perfectly smooth.
The Strong Base Coat during your epoxy floor installation
As soon as the necessary moisture barrier is perfectly and solidly set, we immediately apply a heavy, one hundred percent solids industrial base coat. This incredibly thick body coat heavily creates the essential structural thickness and safely delivers absolutely phenomenal impact resistance. It successfully forms the incredibly durable core of the flooring system, heavily engineered to handle the harshest daily washing abuse.
Because this massive base coat contains absolutely zero shrinking solvents, it safely cures into a solid, completely impenetrable layer of heavy protective armor that does not lose any thickness. It fully ensures your beautiful seamless floor can flawlessly withstand the heaviest commercial scrubbers, constant dog traffic, and brutal daily chemical cleanings. This thick layer of pure liquid resin powerfully provides true extreme durability.
Customizing Animal Care for the installation of epoxy flooring
Depending on your commercial clinic's exact heavy-duty operational needs, we proudly offer several highly durable thick solid finishes to heavily protect your animal space.
- Extreme Scratch Resistance: We expertly apply incredibly thick layers of advanced polyaspartic topcoats to powerfully ensure your commercial floor easily survives sharp, destructive animal claws.
- Total Odor Elimination: We beautifully create an incredibly thick, perfectly smooth, fully monolithic solid surface that aggressively stops highly dangerous urine from ever penetrating the concrete.
- Slip-Resistant Traction: We utilize highly advanced solid additives to heavily provide incredible traction for dogs while maintaining a beautifully brilliant, highly cleanable shine.
Conclusion of your veterinary epoxy floor installation
Our incredibly advanced, totally meticulous installation process heavily ensures you quickly receive an exceptionally tough, thick, easy-to-clean floor firmly built to effortlessly last for decades. By heavily prioritizing exact diamond grinding, aggressive moisture mitigation, and utilizing pure solid resins, we fully guarantee a flawless, highly sanitary finish. Your bare concrete will be permanently transformed into a brilliant, highly functional, resilient animal care masterpiece.
