At Made New Again, we offer a wide range of epoxy floor coatings that provide durable, attractive surfaces for both commercial and residential spaces. Epoxy flooring is a versatile solution known for its strength, low maintenance, and modern aesthetic. Available in a variety of types, each epoxy coating has unique features and benefits to meet the specific needs of your space.
Types of Epoxy Floor Coatings
Choosing the right epoxy floor coating depends on the application, the environment, and your design preferences. Here are some of the most popular types we offer:
1. Vinyl Flake Epoxy
Vinyl flake epoxy (also known as chip epoxy) is a popular option for garage floors and other high-traffic areas. This treatment involves applying a layer of epoxy resin to a concrete floor, followed by decorative flakes that create a textured, speckled appearance. The flakes not only enhance the floor’s look but also add slip resistance and durability.
Benefits:
- Slip-resistant texture
- Attractive, speckled design
- Durable for high-traffic areas
2. Metallic Epoxy
Metallic epoxy coatings are a highly decorative option that creates a shimmering, reflective surface. Available in a variety of colors, this type of epoxy floor can be customized to create stunning, one-of-a-kind designs. The metallic pigments create unique patterns, giving the floor a three-dimensional, flowing appearance.
Benefits:
- Unique, decorative design
- Shimmering, high-gloss finish
- Customizable with different colors
3. Quartz-Filled Epoxy
Quartz-filled epoxy coatings are designed for durability and resistance to abrasion and impact. This type of epoxy is ideal for high-traffic areas such as warehouses, factories, hospitals, and other industrial or commercial spaces. The quartz particles provide extra toughness while maintaining an attractive appearance.
Benefits:
- Highly durable and impact-resistant
- Suitable for heavy-duty applications
- Slip-resistant and long-lasting

Our Epoxy Floor Installation Process
At Made New Again, we follow a precise process to ensure your epoxy floor is installed flawlessly. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we create durable and attractive epoxy floors:
1. Surface Preparation
We start by preparing the concrete surface. This involves using a concrete grinder to smooth out any rough areas and repairing any cracks or defects. Proper surface preparation is key to ensuring the epoxy adheres properly and provides long-lasting protection.
2. Base Coat Application
After preparing the surface, we apply a base coat of epoxy, which acts as a moisture vapor barrier. This base coat is typically a solid color and is applied using a squeegee and roller. The base coat is left to dry for several hours before proceeding to the next step.
3. Flake or Quartz Broadcast (Optional)
For vinyl flake or quartz-filled epoxy, decorative flakes or quartz particles are broadcast evenly over the wet base coat. This creates a textured surface that is both durable and visually appealing. The flakes or quartz add slip resistance, making the floor safer in wet or high-traffic areas.
4. Metallic Epoxy Application (Optional)
For metallic epoxy floors, metallic pigments are applied in random patterns over the base coat once it has dried. These pigments flow and shift as the epoxy cures, creating a unique, flowing appearance. This option allows for complete customization, with single or multiple colors available depending on your design preferences.
5. Grout Coat
Once the decorative flakes or metallic pigments have been applied, we seal them in with a clear grout coat of epoxy. This layer provides additional protection against UV rays, abrasion, and stains, ensuring your epoxy floor remains beautiful and functional for years to come.
6. Top Coat Application
Finally, a durable top coat of epoxy is applied to further protect the floor. This top coat is applied 1-2 hours after the grout coat and enhances the floor’s durability, making it resistant to damage from chemicals, moisture, and heavy foot traffic.
