Epoxy flooring is known for its durability and longevity. With proper installation and care, residential epoxy floors can last between 10 to 20 years. In commercial settings with high foot traffic or heavy equipment, epoxy flooring typically lasts around 5 to 10 years but can be extended with routine maintenance. The exact lifespan depends on factors such as usage, environment, and maintenance. TennesseeEpoxy.com provides high-quality epoxy materials and expert installation, which helps ensure that our floors last as long as possible.

Epoxy floors are low-maintenance, but regular care helps keep them looking great and lasting longer. Basic maintenance include:

Sweeping and Mopping: Regular sweeping prevents dirt and debris from scratching the surface, and occasional mopping keeps the floor clean and shiny.

Avoiding Harsh Cleaners: Use mild soap and warm water instead of abrasive cleaners, which can dull the surface.

Protective Pads for Furniture: Place pads under heavy furniture and avoid dragging sharp or heavy objects directly across the floor.

Spot cleaning: For spills, especially chemicals or oils, clean promptly to avoid any staining

Yes, epoxy can often be installed over existing flooring, depending on the current floor’s condition. Epoxy adheres best to bare, prepared concrete surfaces, but it can also be applied over other surfaces, including tile or even certain types of wood, with the right preparation. Our team at Tennessee Epoxy first assesses the existing floor to ensure it’s suitable for epoxy installation. If necessary, we’ll conduct surface prep, such as cleaning, grinding, or priming, to create the ideal conditions for epoxy adhesion.
