Installation times vary by job size, but for a typical small office/store, it will take three days to five days for installation. Different contractors have different approach. Use our process for a typical 4 coats system as an example, on day one, we prepare the floor and apply the prime layer of coating. On day two we apply the second coat and the first flake layer if selected. On the third day, we apply the rest decorative layers and other layers of topcoat, providing additional protection and a smooth, glass-like finish. If non-slip features are desired, they will also be incorporated into the flooring system on the third day.

Normally the floor will be ready for light foot traffic within 3-4 hours after installation. Please wait 24 hours before moving items back onto the floor. Some systems will allow for vehicular traffic within 24 hours, but others may require up to 72 hours.

The majority of problems associated with epoxy peeling up under car tires is due to the use of cheap epoxy floor paint and poor floor preparation, which will never happen if you garage floor is installed by AI Coating professionals.

This is caused when hot tires from your car soften lesser quality epoxy floor paint. The tires then cool down and contract, making the tread literally grab and pull at the surface coating, causing delamination. A professionally prepared and properly installed epoxy floor eliminates hot tire pick up completely.
