Epoxy Floor Costs: What You'll Pay Per Foot

Epoxy flooring costs are determined by several factors, such as quality of materials, preparation needs, and installation complexity. Basic installations can cost around $2.79 per square foot, while premium finishes can reach $13.94. Commercial-grade epoxy offers higher durability and can cost between $60 and $100 per square meter. Preparation and labor can increase costs by 15% to 30%. However, the long-term benefits of epoxy flooring, including its durability of 10-20 years and reduced maintenance needs, make it a cost-effective investment.

Calcium Chloride Testing: Is Your Floor Ready?

Calcium chloride testing is a vital step in assessing a concrete slab's readiness for covering materials. The test measures a slab's moisture vapor emission rates by placing a pre-weighed calcium chloride disc under a sealed sheet for 24 hours. The accumulated weight helps calculate vapor emission rates, which ideally range between 3-5. Technicians must adhere to specific protocols to ensure accurate results, which include meticulous surface preparation and maintaining the test setup for 60-72 hours.

How to Test Epoxy Bond Strength on Floors

Epoxy bond strength on floors are assessed using specific tools and protocols to ensure adherence to industry standards. Measurement tools include tensile testing machines, peel strength test devices, and surface preparation tools. To determine if a surface is ready for epoxy bonding, technicians conduct various tests such as moisture testing, visual and tactile inspections, pH testing and surface roughness measurements. Pull-off testing, following ASTM D4541 guidelines, measures the epoxy's bond strength by applying a controlled force on the surface.
