Identifying Costs With Commercial Epoxy Flooring
Demystifying The Commercial Epoxy Flooring Cost
Commercial epoxy floor costs are driven by the size of the floor, the epoxy floor system, and material costs will be affected. Of course, the condition of the existing substrate will affect the cost due to whatever the patching might require.
All those factors make a difficult to estimate an exact cost, but for the sake of the budget, a two-coat system will range from $2.50 to $3.00 per square foot, and a slurry or 1/8″ system will range from $6.00 to $11.00 per square foot. Add $3.00 per foot for a decorative system. For those tough areas like loading docks where heavy traffic is a major factor, assume $8.00 to $12.00 per square foot.

The Real Commercial Epoxy Flooring Cost
We previously discussed general budgetary numbers for commercial epoxy flooring. The real cost should be defined by longevity and the maintenance required to keep your new floor looking good.
As an example, paying a service to wax tile over 10 years is astronomical, whereas epoxies do not require waxing, simply broom sweep and mop when necessary.
The life expectancy of an epoxy floor is typically 10 to 20 years, depending on how it is maintained.
In short, if you calculate the actual cost of purchasing, maintaining, and replacing epoxy is a bargain, not to speak of shutting down your operation for replacement.
Epoxy Flooring Costs Consideration
Hiring a professional epoxy flooring contractor to install your floor means using the right grinding equipment with a heavy load to create good down pressure and a deep cut. All too frequently, folks hire a local painter who acid washes the floor for their preparation. The downfall is that if the muriatic acid is not kept wet while washing away, it leaves behind a salt residue that will create a weak glue line, significantly shortening your new floor’s life span. Another consideration is that a properly applied thermal-cured resin requires a certain mil thickness to maximize its benefits. High Performance Systems uses a squeegee to apply their resin, then back rolls to create an even sheen and thickness. Using this methodology versus just rolling on the coating controls the nominal thickness, ensuring once again a long life of your epoxy flooring system.
These are just examples of why using a reliable epoxy flooring company reaps so many benefits.
