subject: What Epoxy Flooring Is and How it is Applied [print this page] Secondly, people need to know the basics of applying epoxy flooring to a concrete floor. The first step to applying epoxy flooring is to prep and wash the area to which the epoxy will be applied. If the concrete is bare or new, the next step will be etching the floor using an etching solution. After the floor has been etched, the epoxy paint will need to be mixed. Once this is completed, paintbrushes and rollers may be used to apply the epoxy to the floor. Colour flakes may be used to give the floor a unique feel. After the flakes have been applied, the top coat will need to be prepared. Using a roller, the top coat will need to be applied to the floor. For individuals and business owners who do not quite feel comfortable in doing the application of epoxy floors themselves, or in reality just don't have the time to do it, calling an epoxy floor specialist can be the best course of action.
