Epoxy is a mix of two materials, resin and hardener, that cures to a tough surface. Wondering how to garage floor epoxy surfaces in San Jose? Read on to get a glimpse:

• First, the existing concrete floor is pressure washed and ground. The grinding helps remove existing floor coatings and dirt. Dust is then vacuumed off of the surface
• When the concrete is clean and dry, it needs to undergo an acid etching to make the coating adhere. The most common acid etching product is muriatic acid. This should be done by a pro as an incorrect etching process could permanently damage the concrete floor.
• Once dry, the epoxy floor coating can now be applied. Mix equal parts of the resin and hardener together and blend well. Make sure not to mix too fast to prevent bubbles from forming. Pour the solution onto the concrete floor and spread it with a wide rubber squeegee, making sure all areas are covered.
• Broadcast some paint flakes or chips to give it a terrazzo-like appearance. It may consist of one or multiple colors, depending on the floor owner’s preference. This is optional.
• Sweep off or vacuum the excess paint chips once the epoxy has cured and hardened.
• Apply an appropriate sealer to seal everything into place.
