    What Are Epoxy & Floor Coatings?

    Epoxy and floor coating systems create a durable protective surface over properly prepared concrete. They improve durability, appearance, chemical resistance, and ease of cleaning while protecting the concrete beneath from everyday wear.

    Choosing the Right Finish

    BST installs three primary finish types:

    • Flake coating: decorative, durable, and ideal for garages and high-use spaces.
    • Solid-color epoxy: clean, uniform finishes for residential and commercial concrete floors.
    • Metallic epoxy: premium decorative finishes with unique depth and movement.

    Where Floor Coatings Perform Best

    Coatings are well suited for:

    • Residential garages
    • Workshops and utility areas
    • Basements
    • Commercial spaces and showrooms
    • Covered patios and high-use concrete floors

    The Installation Process

    A professional coating system is installed in four stages:

    1. Surface preparation — the concrete is cleaned and mechanically prepared for adhesion.
    2. Repairs & base coat — cracks and imperfections are addressed before the base system is applied.
    3. Decorative finish — flake, color, or metallic finish is applied to your design.
    4. Protective topcoat — a topcoat seals and protects the surface for long-term durability.
