Commercial Epoxy FAQs
How much does commercial epoxy flooring cost?
Pricing varies widely by system and square footage. Typical ranges: $3–6/sq ft (standard epoxy), $6–10/sq ft (quartz or polyaspartic), $10–15+/sq ft (specialty systems). Large projects (10,000+ sq ft) often get volume discounts.
How long does commercial epoxy installation take?
Small spaces (1,000–3,000 sq ft): 2–4 days. Large warehouses (10,000+ sq ft): 1–2 weeks. Fast-cure polyaspartic systems can be back in service in 24 hours.
Can epoxy handle forklift traffic?
Yes. Commercial-grade epoxy systems (typically 1/8"–1/4" thick with high-bond primers) are designed for forklift and pallet jack traffic. Your contractor will spec the right system for your load requirements.
Do I need to close my business during installation?
Not necessarily. Many contractors work nights, weekends, or in phases to keep part of your facility operational. Discuss scheduling options during the quote process.
How do I maintain commercial epoxy floors?
Daily: sweep or auto-scrub. Weekly: damp mop with neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh acids or solvents. Recoat high-traffic areas every 5–10 years to maintain appearance and performance.
