Question 1

How long does epoxy flooring last?

Accepted Answer

High-quality epoxy flooring typically lasts 20-30 years with proper maintenance. Our systems include a limited lifetime warranty on qualifying residential systems, covering adhesion and delamination issues. Lifespan depends on traffic, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Commercial applications may see 15-20 years with heavy use.

Question 2

Is epoxy flooring worth the cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes, epoxy flooring is a valuable investment. It provides durability, improved aesthetics, easy maintenance, and chemical resistance that concrete alone cannot offer. It increases property value, reduces ongoing maintenance costs, and significantly extends concrete lifespan. For garage floors, it prevents staining and simplifies cleaning. For commercial spaces, it reduces downtime and safety risks.

Question 3

What's the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy takes 24-48 hours to cure and is cost-effective with excellent durability. Polyaspartic cures in 6-24 hours, allowing faster reinstatement. Both offer excellent protection, but polyaspartic is faster and better for projects where downtime matters. We offer both options depending on your project needs and timeline.

Question 4

How long before I can walk on or drive on my new floor?

Accepted Answer

For most epoxy systems, you can walk on your floor after 24 hours and drive on it after 48-72 hours. Our quick-cure systems may allow faster access—this will be confirmed during your estimate. Our 1-day install option applies only to qualifying residential ProFlake systems under specific conditions.

Question 5

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all epoxy flooring projects. Call us at 702-728-5484 or visit our services pages to request an estimate. We'll assess your space, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed quote with timeline and warranty information.

Question 7

What is your warranty coverage?

Accepted Answer

We provide a limited lifetime warranty on qualifying residential systems, covering adhesion and delamination only. Warranties do not cover wear from normal use, staining from improper maintenance, or damage from chemical spills. Commercial systems have specific warranty terms based on application. Details are provided in your project agreement.

Question 8

Can I customize colors and finishes?

Question 10

Can epoxy handle hot tires?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our epoxy systems are formulated to resist hot tire pickup and staining. However, extremely high temperatures from racing tires can affect any coating. We recommend our premium systems for vehicles with high-performance tires. Proper maintenance and UV protection help preserve appearance.

Question 11

What is the ProFlake system?

Accepted Answer

ProFlake is our popular garage floor coating featuring colored flakes broadcast into epoxy resin, creating a speckled appearance that hides dust and minor imperfections. It's durable, attractive, and available in multiple color combinations. Qualifying residential ProFlake systems may qualify for our fastest installation option.

Question 12

How long does garage floor installation take?

Accepted Answer

Standard epoxy garage floor installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on surface preparation, system choice, and conditions. Preparation (cleaning, repair, grinding) is crucial and takes the most time. Our 1-day install option applies only to qualifying residential ProFlake systems with minimal preparation.

Question 13

What about the heat in Las Vegas?

Accepted Answer

Las Vegas heat doesn't damage epoxy flooring. Our systems are specifically formulated for desert conditions and maintain performance in extreme heat. Heat can accelerate curing, which is why we control application temperatures. UV exposure is managed through proper topcoat selection and maintenance.

Question 14

Will my garage floor be slippery?

Accepted Answer

Standard epoxy can be slippery when wet. We offer textured topcoats and slip-resistant additives to improve traction in garage environments. During your estimate, we'll recommend the right finish for your needs and traffic patterns.

Question 15

Can I choose the colors and patterns?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Metallic epoxy offers extensive customization. You can choose base colors and pigment combinations to create unique, marble-like patterns. Each floor is one-of-a-kind due to the natural flow of metallic pigments.

Question 16

How durable is metallic epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Metallic epoxy is extremely durable, lasting 20-30 years with proper maintenance. It's as hard as standard epoxy but adds visual depth and elegance. The metallic finish is built into the coating, not a surface treatment, so it won't wear away with traffic.

Question 17

Where can metallic epoxy be installed?

Accepted Answer

Metallic epoxy is ideal for showrooms, retail spaces, upscale garages, and commercial environments. It works beautifully in living spaces, offices, and anywhere you want dramatic visual impact. We can install it on properly prepared concrete surfaces.

Question 18

How long does metallic epoxy installation take?

Accepted Answer

Installation typically takes 2-4 days depending on floor size and surface preparation. The application process is more involved than standard epoxy to achieve the metallic effects. We'll provide a specific timeline during your free estimate.

Question 19

What maintenance does metallic epoxy require?

Accepted Answer

Metallic epoxy requires minimal maintenance—regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping. Avoid standing water and harsh chemicals. Clean spills promptly. Don't use abrasive cleaners or equipment that could damage the topcoat. Proper maintenance keeps your floor looking vibrant for decades.

Question 20

What is VubaStone?

Accepted Answer

VubaStone is an engineered stone coating system that uses polyurethane resin (not epoxy) to create decorative, durable exterior surfaces. It mimics natural stone appearance with excellent UV resistance, making it ideal for pool decks, patios, driveways, and lanais.

Question 21

Is VubaStone permeable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, VubaStone is permeable, allowing water drainage through the coating. This makes it ideal for areas requiring drainage like pool surrounds and exterior patios. The permeable nature prevents water pooling while maintaining durability and aesthetics.

Question 22

Where can VubaStone be used?

Accepted Answer

VubaStone is perfect for pool decks, patios, lanais, driveways, balconies, and any exterior concrete surface. It's UV-resistant, doesn't fade in Las Vegas sun, and maintains appearance for 15-20 years. The stone-like aesthetic complements any landscaping design.

Question 23

How does cool deck coating work?

Accepted Answer

Cool deck coating is an acrylic-based system (not epoxy) that reflects solar heat, keeping surface temperatures significantly lower than bare concrete. It's perfect for pool decks and barefoot areas in Las Vegas heat, reducing surface temperatures by 20-30 degrees.

Question 24

Is VubaStone slippery when wet?

Accepted Answer

VubaStone can be slippery when wet. For pool decks and areas where slip resistance is critical, we recommend textured finishes or anti-slip additives. We'll discuss safety considerations during your estimate.

Question 25

What commercial flooring systems do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer industrial-strength epoxy, polyaspartic, and specialized coatings for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail spaces, and offices. Commercial systems withstand heavy traffic, chemical exposure, and temperature extremes. We customize solutions based on your specific industry and requirements.

Question 26

Can you install during business hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we understand business continuity is critical. We work with you to schedule installation during off-hours or in phases to minimize disruption. We can install early mornings, evenings, or weekends. Discuss timing during your estimate consultation.

Question 27

Do you coat airplane hangars?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We specialize in aircraft hangar flooring with heavy-duty epoxy systems designed for aircraft weight, fuel resistance, and safety requirements. Our hangar coatings meet aviation industry standards.

Question 28

What about concrete polishing?

Accepted Answer

Concrete polishing is a mechanical process, not a coating. It grinds the concrete surface to expose aggregate and creates a smooth, shiny finish. Unlike epoxy, polished concrete requires sealing for stain protection. We offer concrete polishing as a standalone service or as a base for other coatings.

Question 29

What industries do you service?

Accepted Answer

We serve retail, manufacturing, healthcare, aviation, automotive, and warehousing industries. Our systems handle specific challenges like chemical resistance, thermal shock, heavy equipment traffic, and safety requirements. Contact us at 702-728-5484 to discuss your industry-specific needs.
