Project Spotlight: 3500 Sq Ft Epoxy Flooring Installation in Dearborn

At Citywide Epoxy Coating, we take pride in delivering high-quality, durable flooring solutions that stand the test of time. Recently, we had the opportunity to complete a large-scale project for an auto mechanic shop in Dearborn, Michigan. This 3500-square-foot space required not only a robust and aesthetically pleasing floor but one that could withstand heavy foot traffic, automotive equipment, and the rigorous demands of an auto repair shop.

Here’s how we transformed this auto shop floor into a high-performance workspace, ensuring safety, durability, and functionality.

Preparation: Diamond Grinding and Crack Filling

The project began with a comprehensive preparation process. First, we diamond-grinded the entire floor. Diamond grinding is a critical step in surface preparation. It ensures that the epoxy bonds effectively to the concrete, providing a smooth and durable finish. This step also removes any old coatings or imperfections, creating a clean slate for the new epoxy.

Next, we vacuumed the floor thoroughly to eliminate dust and debris. A clean floor is essential to ensure that the epoxy adheres properly. After cleaning, we identified and filled cracks in the concrete, ensuring that the surface was level and smooth. This is important to avoid any future damage or degradation.

Epoxy Coating: Industrial Grade and Safety-First

For the epoxy flooring, we used a 100% solid industrial-grade epoxy in a sleek, modern grey color. This high-performance coating is resistant to oils, chemicals, stains, and abrasions, which makes it the ideal solution for the demanding environment of an auto mechanic shop.

To enhance both aesthetics and safety, we applied a medium broadcast of flakes across the surface. Not only do the flakes create a unique, professional look, but they also add texture, helping to increase traction and prevent slips.

For added safety, we incorporated a non-slip additive into the epoxy coating. This ensures that the floor provides a safe, secure grip for employees, especially in a busy shop environment where oil spills and water can make floors slippery. The combination of the industrial-grade epoxy, broadcasted flakes, and the non-slip additive ensures that the floor not only looks great but provides optimal performance and safety.

Timely Completion to Keep Operations Running

One of the most important factors for our client was ensuring minimal downtime. We understand how crucial it is for auto repair shops to stay operational, so we made it our priority to complete the entire project within one week.

Our team worked efficiently, applying two coats of industrial-grade epoxy and ensuring proper curing time between applications. Thanks to our careful planning and expert execution, the project was completed on schedule, and the client’s auto mechanic shop was up and running again in no time.

The Final Result: A Durable, Safe, and Professional Floor

The final result was a beautiful, highly functional epoxy floor that met our client’s needs. The grey finish provides a clean, modern look, while the non-slip texture ensures that the shop’s employees are safe while working. The industrial-grade epoxy is designed to withstand the heavy demands of the auto mechanic industry, ensuring that the floor remains in top condition for years to come.
