FLOORING QUESTIONS
1. DOES SHOWROOM USE POLYASPARTICS?
Polyaspartic has become the new buzzword in the concrete coating world. We use a polyaspartic base and top coat on all of our floors, from Epoxy Variants to Grind and Seals. We find that a polyaspartic top coat offers maximum protection and longevity on high traffic surfaces. By also using a Polyaspartic base and top coat it allows us to offer 1 day installs.
2. WHAT SEPARATES SHOWROOM FROM THE COMPETITION?
What separates Showroom Luxury from the pack is our Lifetime Warranty. While many of our local competitors try to skimp on material costs and maximize their profits, we have a vested interest in making your floor as perfect as possible the first time. We back all of our floors with a Lifetime Warranty protecting customers against damage caused by normal use. This keeps our team accountable and our customers protected. Our team will get your floor done right the first time, and, on the rare chance that we don’t, we’ll be back to fix it.
3. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALLIC AND VINYL FLAKE FLOORING?
Vinyl flake is a system where colored vinyl chips are broadcast onto a wet basecoat of polyaspartic or other resin. The flakes are typically available in various sizes, colors, and blends, and the final appearance resembles a speckled, multi-colored texture. The finished surface is highly durable, slip-resistant, and can be customized to suit any design preference. Vinyl flake coatings are often used in high-traffic areas like garages, commercial spaces, and industrial facilities. Metallic epoxy, on the other hand, is a two-part epoxy system that contains metallic pigments. These pigments create a shimmering, iridescent finish that resembles a three-dimensional, high-gloss metallic surface. The pigments can be mixed to create a range of colors, and the final appearance can be customized with additives like glitter or flakes. Metallic epoxy is commonly used in residential settings, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. In short, vinyl flake coatings offer a speckled, multi-colored texture, while metallic epoxy creates a shimmering, iridescent metallic surface. Vinyl flake is often used in commercial and industrial settings, while metallic epoxy is commonly used in residential spaces.
4. HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I SPEND ON A CONCRETE COATING?
To be frugal doesn't just mean saving money—it means spending your money wisely. That also means some things may be cheap now, but actually cost you more in the long run. That is especially true for long-term purchases such as a car, home, appliances, and flooring. If an epoxy floor doesn’t meet the standards of a Showroom epoxy floor- it’s simply not worth it.
5. WHAT IS EPOXY FLOORING?
Epoxy paint and professional epoxy flooring are not the same thing. The industrial-strength epoxy flooring we provide is not what they sell at a local hardware store. Epoxy paint is never the right choice. Epoxy flooring is a concrete coating that is made up of two main components – resins and hardeners. Once combined, they result in a rigid material that is strong, durable and aesthetically pleasing. Finish with a Polyaspartic top coat, and your floor will last 20+ years.
6. WHY DO SOME EPOXY FLOORS LAST LONGER THAN OTHERS?
The lifetime of an epoxy floor is a direct result of the process, products, and equipment used. An epoxy floor will not be worth your time or money if carelessness or ignorance is present during the process- including the use of low-end products and equipment. At Showroom Luxury, your garage epoxy floor will be meticulously prepared through our 7-step process, which includes our high-end products and equipment, a polyaspartic top coat, resulting in a beautiful epoxy floor that will last for many decades.
7. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING EPOXY FLOORING?
Epoxy flooring is one of the fastest growing options to add durability and beauty to any space. That’s largely due to epoxy's lengthy list of benefits. Among the most prominent benefits are the following: durable protection, long-lasting lifetime, resistance to chemicals, effortless cleaning, and the beauty it adds to any space.
8. HOW CUSTOMIZABLE CAN EPOXY FLOORING BE?
Your satisfaction with your new epoxy garage floor is our first priority. We can get as unique, or traditional as you would like. To help you choose the perfect epoxy floor, we have a large gallery to search through. Additionally, you can choose your own epoxy floor color, flake color, flake assortment and thickness, as well as our multiple “add-on” options.
