Floors That Recover Quickly

Epoxy Flooring in Delray Beach comes up a lot right after a storm, when someone is sweeping sand and leaves out of a garage. Wikipedia lists direct or near-direct hurricane hits on the city in 1903, 1906, 1928, 1947, 1949, 1964, 1965, 1979, 1992, 1999, 2004 and 2005. A coated floor does not keep a storm out. What it does is give water and grit a smooth, sealed surface to sit on, so clean-up takes an hour with a squeegee instead of a weekend with a pressure washer.

Planning around storm season

Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with the most activity from mid August through September. That timing shapes our schedule:

Big projects are easier to plan for late fall, winter or spring.
In summer, we watch the forecast and move dates if a storm is coming.
Shutters and stored supplies need a home while the garage is out of use.
After a storm, we check slabs for new cracks before coating.

Three miles of beach, a lot of sand

The city has 3 miles of oceanfront, with 2 miles of public beach. Beach chairs, boards, bikes and coolers all come home sandy. Sand is abrasive, and on a soft coating it acts like sandpaper under tires. We recommend a hard polyaspartic or urethane topcoat over the base layer, and a flake finish that hides the grit between sweeps.

1970s and 1980s slabs

Point2Homes, summarizing Census data, credits the 1970s with 26.4% of Delray Beach housing and the 1980s with 23.4%. Those slabs are mature and stable, but most have old stains and wear. Grinding exposes porous concrete that the primer can soak into. When that step gets skipped, the garage coating is far more likely to peel.

Atlantic Avenue businesses

Atlantic Avenue is the city's main downtown street, known for dining, nightlife and shopping. Restaurant back rooms, bar storage, salons and boutiques all deal with spills, mopping and heavy foot traffic. Seamless resin floors resist grease and liquids and can be laid out with a cove base for easy cleaning. We do commercial work after closing time so service is not interrupted.

Near sea level

Wikipedia ties the local climate to the city's near sea-level elevation and coastal setting, with a mean annual high around 83 degrees. Warm, damp air is the normal condition here. On every job we take a dew point reading and the slab's temperature before mixing.

Delray Beach Questions

Will an epoxy garage floor survive a flood?

A cured coating handles standing water far better than bare concrete and is easy to clean. If water sits under the slab for a long time or the concrete cracks, the coating can be affected. We inspect after any major storm.

Is it smart to book a coating in hurricane season?

It can be. We track the forecast and will move the date if a storm is heading this way. Many Delray Beach owners prefer late fall through spring, when the weather is calmer and drier.

Which topcoat stands up to beach sand?

A hard polyaspartic or urethane topcoat resists scratching from sand far better than epoxy alone. Pairing it with flake hides the grit that gets tracked in between cleanings.

Can you coat a restaurant kitchen floor on Atlantic Avenue?

We can coat back-of-house and storage areas and plan the work after closing. Kitchens may need specific systems for heat and grease, so we look at the space before recommending one.
