Lafayette Epoxy Floors › Services › Commercial Epoxy Flooring
Lafayette Epoxy Floors is the Lafayette starting point for commercial floor coatings. Describe the business, the square footage, what the floor sees each day and any hours the space can be closed. Request a free quote and a local epoxy flooring installer will call you back to schedule a walk-through.
Lafayette businesses ask for coated floors in restaurant kitchens and back-of-house areas, salons, veterinary and medical offices, retail showrooms, gyms, car washes and breweries. Each of those has a different mix of foot traffic, water, grease, chemicals and appearance needs.
Systems for different spaces
Dry retail and office space often gets an epoxy or polyaspartic system with flake or a solid color. Kitchens and food areas that see hot water washdown and grease may call for urethane cement, which handles thermal shock better than standard epoxy. Wet areas benefit from a textured finish and an integral cove base that runs up the wall so water cannot sit in a seam.
Ask the installer to explain which system they recommend and why, and request product data sheets so you can confirm chemical and slip ratings.
Scheduling around your business
Most businesses cannot close for a week. Installers often work at night, over weekends or in phases, and fast-cure products can shorten downtime. Odor matters in occupied buildings too; some products have little smell while others need the space ventilated and empty. Tell the installer what is next door and whether the HVAC can run during the work.
Plan where equipment will go while the floor is out of service, and confirm when shelving, racks or kitchen lines can return.
Codes and approvals
Food service, health care and some other uses have their own cleanability and slip-resistance expectations, and building work can need approval. Check with the city or parish and your inspector before the work is booked. For larger open floors with racking or forklifts, see warehouse floor coatings.
Frequently asked questions
Can a coating go over existing tile or VCT?
Usually the old flooring and adhesive are removed and the slab is ground clean first. Coating over tile is uncommon and depends on the product; ask the installer.
How long will the floor be closed?
It varies with size, prep and products. Fast-cure systems can return a small space in a day or two; larger or thicker systems take longer.
