Epoxy Flooring Materials
Colson's Epoxy Greensboro offers every type of epoxy service for all of your flooring needs.
Metallic Epoxy Floors
Metallic epoxy has movement. It can look like polished stone, smoke, or ripples in water. It’s the one people stop and stare at.
This is a good fit for showrooms, bars, offices, and home spaces where the floor is part of the look. I heard a homeowner in Irving Park say their metallic floor looked “like a storm cloud, but in a good way.” That’s a pretty fair description.
Metallic is not about hiding dirt. It’s about style. If you want a floor that feels like art, this is the one.
Best for:
- Showrooms and automotive dealerships
- Upscale retail boutiques
- Restaurant and bar floors
- Luxury residential garages
- Basement entertainment spaces
- Office lobbies and reception areas
- Any space where aesthetics are as important as function
Popular effects: Marble swirl, ocean wave, pewter, bronze, copper, silver, and custom color combinations tailored to your design vision.
Flake Epoxy Systems
Flake epoxy is the popular garage choice for a reason. The flakes add texture, help hide dust, and break up small marks from daily life.
If you have kids, pets, or you actually use your garage, flake is forgiving. It also helps with slip resistance compared to a slick, smooth coating. For many epoxy flooring Greensboro garage projects, flake hits the sweet spot between looks and real-life function.
Best for:
- Residential garages throughout Greensboro and the Triad
- Commercial kitchens and food service areas
- Retail stores and showrooms
- Auto service centers
- Basement floors
- Patios and outdoor spaces
- Any high-traffic area requiring slip resistance and durability
Flake coverage options:
Light broadcast (20-30% coverage) for subtle texture
Medium broadcast (50-70% coverage) for balanced look
Full broadcast (90-100% coverage) for maximum texture and hiding power
Popular color blends: Granite (gray/black/white), Cookies & Cream (brown/tan/white), Patriot (red/white/blue), Terrain (earth tones), and custom blends matching your specific design preferences.
Quartz Epoxy Finishes
Quartz systems use colored quartz sand for a textured, tough surface. This is a strong option when you need extra grip and durability.
Quartz is common in places like locker rooms, wash areas, entries, and some industrial spaces. If you deal with wet shoes, frequent mopping, or you just want more traction, quartz is worth a serious look.
Best for:
- Healthcare facilities and medical offices
- Commercial kitchens and food service areas
- Retail stores with heavy foot traffic
- Warehouse loading docks and high-use zones
- Educational facilities and schools
- Pharmaceutical and laboratory spaces
- Locker rooms and wet areas
- Any environment requiring maximum slip resistance and durability
Performance advantages:
Superior abrasion resistance
Enhanced slip resistance meeting safety codes
Chemical resistance to cleaners and sanitizers
Impact resistance against dropped objects
Thermal shock resistance for temperature variations
Long-term durability reducing replacement costs
Solid Epoxy
Solid epoxy is clean and simple. One color. Smooth finish. Easy to keep looking neat.
If you want your garage or shop to feel calm and uncluttered, solid epoxy is a great choice. It also makes cracks and patches less noticeable than bare concrete because everything reads as one surface. Solid epoxy works well when you want a “no drama” floor that still looks finished.
Best for:
- Garages seeking a clean, no-frills finish
- Commercial kitchens requiring sanitary surfaces
- Light manufacturing spaces
- Basements in Irving Park and Fisher Park
- Utility rooms and workspaces
- Budget-conscious projects prioritizing durability over decorative effects
Available finishes: High-gloss, satin, or matte topcoats to suit your aesthetic preferences and slip-resistance requirements.
Our Epoxy Flooring Installation Process
We've refined our installation process over 22 years serving Greensboro and the Triad. Every floor we install follows the same proven step, because when it comes to epoxy, preparation and precision make all the difference between a floor that lasts decades and one that fails in months.
1 Free Consultation and Assessment
We come to your home or business to look at your concrete. Every floor is different, so we need to see it in person.
What we check:
Moisture Test – We test if water is coming up through your concrete. Too much moisture will make epoxy bubble or peel. This is common in Greensboro basements.
Cracks & Damage – We look for cracks, holes, or old coatings that need fixing.
Dirt & Oil – We check for oil stains or old paint that can stop epoxy from sticking.
Surface Texture – We make sure your concrete has the right roughness for epoxy to grab onto.
We also ask what you need. A garage floor that handles hot tires? A commercial kitchen floor that's easy to clean? An industrial warehouse floor for forklifts? Your needs help us pick the right materials.
You get a written price the same day. We explain everything, what we'll do, what materials we'll use, and how long it takes. No surprises.
2 Concrete Preparation
Here's the truth:
Prep work makes or breaks your epoxy floor. The best epoxy won't stick to dirty or smooth concrete.
Our prep includes:
Grinding the Floor
We use special machines with diamond blades to grind your concrete. This removes old paint, dirt, and oil. It also makes the concrete rough so epoxy can stick properly.
We don't use acid, it leaves chemicals that hurt epoxy adhesion. Professional epoxy flooring contractors use mechanical grinding for the best results.
Fixing Cracks
North Carolina clay soil makes concrete crack. We don't just cover cracks and hope they disappear. We clean them out and fill them with flexible crack filler that moves with your concrete.
Patching Holes
Any holes or low spots get filled and smoothed so your floor is level.
Moisture Protection
If our test shows too much moisture, we apply a special primer that stops water vapor. This step prevents epoxy floor repair problems later.
Deep Cleaning
After grinding, we vacuum everything with professional equipment. The concrete must be completely clean and dry before we apply epoxy resin flooring.
Why this matters:
Good prep is what makes durable epoxy flooring last 15+ years instead of peeling in 2 years.
3 Application Techniques
Now comes the fun part—building your new floor.
Base Coat
We mix high-quality epoxy and spread it on your floor with rollers. We use thick coats (not thin cheap coats) for strength.
For commercial epoxy floors or industrial epoxy flooring, we might use several coats to handle heavy traffic.
Adding Color & Texture
If you picked decorative epoxy flooring with color flakes, we sprinkle them into the wet epoxy. You can choose:
- Light coverage for a little texture
- Medium coverage for balance
- Full coverage for maximum texture and hiding small cracks
For metallic epoxy floors, we add special metallic powders and move them around to create flowing patterns. Every metallic floor looks different, yours will be one of a kind.
For commercial kitchens or warehouses, we use quartz epoxy floors with tiny quartz rocks for extra grip and strength.
Clear Top Coat
After the base dries (usually overnight), we apply a clear protective coat. This seals everything and gives you:
- Protection from chemicals and stains
- UV protection so your floor won't turn yellow
- Hot-tire resistance for garage epoxy flooring
- Your choice of shiny or matte finish
How long it takes:
Most garage floors in Greensboro finish in one day. You can walk on it the next day. Cars can go on it in 2-3 days.
4 Final Inspection
We inspect everything before we're done.
What we check:
- Look – The floor should look smooth and even with no bubbles or spots.
- Stick Test – We make sure the epoxy stuck to the concrete properly.
- Thickness – We measure to confirm we used the right amount of coating.
- Scratch Test – We test that the floor is hard enough. Your fingernail shouldn't scratch it.
- Edges – We check walls, doors, and corners for clean lines.
Your Walkthrough
We show you the finished floor and explain how to take care of it. We answer all your questions.
Warranty
You get our 10-year warranty in writing. We stand behind our epoxy floor installation.
When you can use it:
- Walk on it: 12–24 hours
- Normal use: 1–2 days
- Park cars: 2–3 days
- Full strength: 7 days
Client Testimonials
Here's some general common questions about epoxy flooring, our services, and everything in between
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Greensboro?
Pricing depends on your space size, concrete condition, and the type of system you choose. Most two-car garages in Greensboro cost between $4.50 and $12.00 per square foot for a complete professional epoxy flooring installation. Flake systems are the most popular option, while metallic epoxy floors or quartz epoxy systems cost more due to materials and application time.
Is it cheaper to tile or epoxy a floor?
Epoxy flooring costs less than tile for most garage and basement projects in Greensboro. Tile requires buying tiles, grout, adhesive, and paying for skilled labor to install each piece. The total can add up fast.
Epoxy goes right over your existing concrete—no need to tear anything out. It’s faster to install (most garages done in one day), and there are no grout lines to clean or tiles to replace if one cracks. Over time, epoxy floor maintenance is easier and cheaper than tile.
If you want a durable, professional floor at a better price, epoxy is usually the smarter choice.
How many years will an epoxy floor last?
In moderate environments like garages and basements, professionally installed epoxy flooring can last up to 20 years. With proper care, some residential floors last 15 to 30 years.
How long your floor lasts depends on a few things:
Proper installation – Professional epoxy floor installation with correct prep work lasts much longer than DIY kits
Daily use – A garage that parks two cars daily will wear differently than one used for storage
Maintenance – Regular sweeping and occasional mopping keeps floors looking new
In Greensboro homes, garage epoxy floors with good care easily last 15+ years.
Can mold grow under epoxy?
No, mold can’t grow under properly installed epoxy floors. Epoxy creates a sealed, waterproof surface that stops moisture from getting through.
However, if moisture is trapped under the epoxy before installation, that can cause problems. This is why moisture testing is so important—especially in Greensboro where humidity and ground moisture are common.
We test every floor for moisture before applying epoxy. If needed, we use special moisture-blocking primers that prevent water vapor from coming up through the concrete. This stops mold, prevents bubbling, and keeps your epoxy flooring stuck tight for years.
Once the epoxy cures, the seamless surface doesn’t let water, dirt, or organic material sit on top—so mold has nothing to grow on.
Does epoxy floor raise home value?
Yes, epoxy flooring can increase your Greensboro home’s value. Here’s why:
Better appearance – A clean, professional garage floor makes your home look well-maintained. When buyers see a nice epoxy garage floor, they notice.
Perceived upgrades – Epoxy floors signal that you’ve invested in quality improvements. It’s a selling point many Greensboro homeowners use.
Lower maintenance – Buyers like easy-to-clean surfaces that won’t need replacing soon.
Functionality – Finished basements and garages add usable square footage to your home’s appeal.
While epoxy won’t add thousands like a kitchen remodel, it’s an affordable upgrade that makes your property stand out—especially in competitive Greensboro neighborhoods like Irving Park, Fisher Park, or Adams Farm.
Is epoxy 100% waterproof?
Yes, epoxy floor coatings are waterproof once fully cured. Water won’t soak through or damage the surface.
This makes epoxy perfect for:
- Greensboro basements where dampness is common
- Garages that get wet from rain, snow, or car washing
- Commercial kitchens with constant water exposure
- Patios and outdoor areas (with UV-resistant topcoats)
The seamless surface means water can’t seep into cracks or grout lines. Spills just sit on top until you wipe or mop them away.
Do epoxy floors need maintenance?
Epoxy floors are easy to maintain—just sweep and mop. No sanding or polishing required. Reapply a topcoat every 5 to 7 years, or as directed by your contractor.
Daily/weekly care:
- Sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and dust
- Mop with warm water and mild cleaner
What to avoid:
- Harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia)
- Abrasive scrubbers that can dull the finish
- Dragging heavy sharp objects across the floor
Long-term care:
- Some high-traffic commercial floors benefit from a topcoat refresh every few years
- Residential garage floors rarely need anything beyond regular cleaning
Compared to tile (scrubbing grout), wood (refinishing), or bare concrete (sealing), epoxy flooring maintenance is simple and cheap.
Will epoxy flooring hold up to hot tires in Greensboro summers?
Yes. Professional-grade epoxy systems with proper installation don’t suffer from hot tire pickup. Quality materials and correct application prevent the floor from separating from concrete.
North Carolina summers get hot, and tires heated from driving can soften cheap epoxy. We use 100% solids epoxy with polyaspartic topcoats specifically designed for hot-tire resistance. Your floor won’t peel or lift even after parking on a hot July day.
DIY kits from big-box stores often fail this test. Professional epoxy flooring contractors use commercial-grade products that handle heat.
Can epoxy be installed over existing garage floor coatings?
Sometimes. We first need to remove the existing coating by shot blasting or grinding your floor. Then we repair, prep, and clean the concrete before installing new flooring.
Old paint, sealers, or failing epoxy must come off completely. Our diamond grinding equipment strips away old coatings and creates the rough surface needed for new epoxy to bond properly.
If your current floor is peeling or flaking, call us for an assessment. We’ll tell you exactly what prep work is needed.
How long before I can walk on my new epoxy floor?
Cure times vary based on chemistry (epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic), temperature, and humidity. Typically floors are open for foot traffic within 24 hours and vehicles within a few days.
Greensboro timeline:
- Light foot traffic: 12-24 hours
- Normal use: 24-48 hours
- Park vehicles: 48-72 hours (sometimes longer in winter)
- Full cure: 7 days for complete chemical resistance
Cold weather or high humidity can slow curing. We’ll give you exact timing when we finish your installation.
Will my epoxy floor turn yellow in sunlight?
The polyaspartic topcoat we use is UV-tolerant and won’t yellow or amber. However, light or medium flake systems may see slow color shifts over time.
Standard epoxy without UV protection will yellow when sunlight hits it—common near garage doors with windows. We prevent this by using UV-resistant polyaspartic topcoats on every floor.
For outdoor patios or areas with lots of sun exposure, UV-stable coatings are essential. We’ll recommend the right system for your space.
What's the difference between epoxy and paint?
Epoxy is a two-part solution that cures and chemically bonds to concrete. Paint is a one-part solution that simply dries on the surface. A properly installed epoxy floor can last a lifetime indoors, while paint often peels shortly after installation.
Epoxy forms a thick, hard coating (like plastic) that becomes part of your concrete. Paint sits on top and chips easily under tires or foot traffic.
Don’t confuse cheap “epoxy paint” from hardware stores with professional epoxy flooring systems. Real epoxy resin flooring uses commercial-grade materials that perform completely differently.
Can you install epoxy over cracked concrete?
Yes. We have epoxy fillers that fill chips, divots, cracks, or craters. When we’re done, you’ll never know they were there.
Greensboro’s clay soil causes concrete movement and cracking—we see it constantly. Before applying epoxy, we:
- Route out cracks and clean them
- Fill with flexible crack filler
- Grind the surface smooth
- Apply epoxy system
The flake or quartz finish also helps hide minor imperfections. Your floor will look uniform and professional.
What happens if my epoxy floor gets damaged?
Repairing epoxy can be challenging and costly. Unlike tile where individual pieces can be replaced, epoxy requires re-coating the entire floor for a uniform appearance.
Small scratches usually don’t need repair. For serious damage (deep gouges, large chips), we can:
- Sand and patch the area
- Apply new topcoat
- In severe cases, resurface the entire floor
The good news: with professional installation and normal use, serious damage is rare. Our durable epoxy flooring systems resist impacts, chemicals, and daily wear.
Are you partnered with any other companies?
