How to Recoat an Existing Epoxy Floor
Inspecting the Existing Coating
Check for peeling, bubbling, chemical damage or gloss loss. Any defects must be repaired before recoating.
Cleaning and Degreasing
Remove dust, oils and contamination using industrial cleaners. A fully clean floor ensures strong adhesion.
Checking for Gloss
Most epoxy systems require the existing surface to be abraded. A high gloss surface will resist adhesion without proper mechanical preparation.
Applying the New Epoxy Layer
Once prepared, apply the new coat at the correct spread rate. Follow recommended curing times between coats.
Ensuring Long Term Durability
Allow the floor to fully cure before returning it to service, especially in heavy traffic environments.
