How long does epoxy floor coating last?
The longevity of an epoxy floor coating largely depends on several factors, including the quality of the epoxy used, the preparation of the substrate (usually concrete), the level of foot or vehicle traffic, and the care and maintenance it receives. However, in general:
Residential Settings: In a typical residential setting with moderate use and proper maintenance, epoxy floor coatings can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years or even longer.
Commercial and Industrial Settings: In high-traffic areas such as commercial or industrial settings, where the floors endure more wear and tear, epoxy coatings may last around 2 to 5 years. However, some industrial-grade epoxy coatings (what we use) can last significantly longer.

It's important to note that epoxy floor coatings can start to show signs of wear and may require reapplication or maintenance as they age. This can involve adding a new topcoat or resealing the epoxy to ensure its longevity.
Proper maintenance is key to extending the life of epoxy floor coatings. This includes regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, promptly addressing spills, and protecting the floor from heavy impacts or abrasive materials. Additionally, periodic assessments and touch-ups can help maintain the coating's appearance and performance.
Remember that the specific lifespan of your epoxy floor coating may vary based on the factors mentioned earlier, so it's a good idea to consult with your epoxy flooring installer or manufacturer for guidance tailored to your particular circumstances.
Our Products:
We don’t follow the industry standards (~10 years) as we want your floor to remain strong for over 20 years. That is why we use industrial-grade 100% solids epoxy for our residential and commercial applications. This also contains a built-in moisture barrier to block any moisture coming up and bubbling the epoxy finish. We pair this with a polyaspartic topcoat to make a UV-resistant, durable finish to your floor.
