Maintenance tips:

• Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove abrasive particles
• Clean spills promptly to prevent potential staining
• Use soft-bristled brushes or pads for cleaning
• Place protective pads under furniture and equipment
• Avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor

We provide detailed maintenance instructions with all our installations to help you maximize the life of your epoxy floor.

Yes, epoxy flooring can be installed over existing tiles in many cases, saving you the cost and mess of tile removal. However, the tiles must be firmly adhered to the substrate, and the surface must be properly prepared to ensure proper adhesion of the epoxy system.

The process typically involves:

• Thorough cleaning of the tile surface
• Mechanical grinding to create a profile for adhesion
• Filling grout lines to create a smooth surface
• Repairing any loose or damaged tiles
• Applying a specialized bonding primer

Our experts will assess your existing tiles during the quote process to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation.
