Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Upon completion of your floor, we will give you a manufacturer backed written warranty. Residential floors typically have a 20 year warranty, and commercial floors are 1 to 5 year warranties. This will all be communicated with you during our meeting and before we start the project!
-
All floors and environments are different. We prefer not to give a “guess-timate” to remain accurate and fair. Give us a call and we can set up a time to meet with you, evaluate the floor, and measure for an accurate quote.
-
We recommend using a PH neutral floor cleaner. There are many companies making them, but our favorites are Krud Kutter PH Neutral Floor Cleaner and ZEP PH Neutral Floor Cleaner. These cleaners will keep your floor streak and haze free.
-
It’s a common misconception that concrete coatings are slippery. This is easy to understand because epoxy has a seamless and glossy surface. Generally, our flooring is very safe to walk on when it’s clean and dry with similar grip to a basketball court. If you are concerned about skid resistance, especially if the floor will get wet such as in a commercial setting or garage, we recommend a slip-resistant additive, epoxy quartz flooring, or epoxy flake flooring which all offer a textured surface.
-
Depending on the system selected, you can walk on the floor the next day. We typically ask to keep heavy objects and cars out for around 48 hours after completion. (The longer the better, though!) Full cure of the floor is anywhere from 5-7 days.
-
Although you see gloss majority of the time, a satin finish is available if desired! The addition of “Satin Finish” will typically add a day to the project.
-
The decision is up to you! To fill, or not to fill— that is the question many flooring contractors debate about. We love the look of a true seamless floor, but there is always a risk of the floor coating forming a new crack down the road. Cracking at cut joints is not covered under warranty by coating manufacturers or Victory Concrete Coatings.

Both coatings are great options, and both have their pros and cons. When concrete is properly prepared and coatings are installed correctly, testing (ASTM-D4541) shows that concrete fails before either epoxy or polyurea loses adhesion. Both systems use the same UV-stable topcoat. Let our pros educate and recommend the coating system best for your situation.
