Epoxy for a basement slab, and how it is built

An epoxy basement floor is a coating bonded into the concrete rather than laid over it. A primer is rolled into the ground slab and fuses with it, a pigmented base coat goes on next, then the finish, flake, solid color or metallic, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat seals the lot. Every layer is bonded to the one below, so there is nothing to lift, curl or come loose.

It is for the Burr Ridge house with a large lower level that is only partly finished: a built-out room at one end and bare concrete across the rest. The bare part is usually the bigger area and it is already doing real jobs, storage, laundry, a bench, a treadmill, and it is where the dust that reaches the finished end comes from.

Coated, the whole slab becomes one clean, sealed floor you can sweep from wall to wall, with a finish that suits each part of the level. Floors we have coated are on our gallery.

Why coat the whole floor rather than leave it bare

Bare concrete dusts, stains and soaks up whatever lands on it, and no amount of sweeping stops it. Tile and vinyl over a big area mean a lot of joints and a lot of material, and carpet is the wrong thing to put on a working end with a furnace and a washer. A coating deals with all of it in one surface.

It goes on the slab that is already there. The concrete is ground and repaired and the coating bonded onto it, so there is no subfloor, no demolition and nothing to carry up the stairs. Most basement floors are coated in a day, and coating the whole slab at once does not commit you to finishing the rest of the level.

It also lets one floor do two jobs. A tough solid color or flake where the utilities and storage are, and the same system carried into the finished end in a finish that suits a living room.

Everyday benefits across a large basement

No more dust, and easy to keep clean. Sealing the slab stops it dusting, and a seamless, non-porous surface gives dirt, water, mold and allergens nowhere to collect. Cleaning is a sweep and a mop with soap and water, with no stripping and no waxing.

Tough enough for the working end. The coating is industrial-grade epoxy under a polyaspartic topcoat, and it resists oil, chemicals, stains, abrasion, impact and chips. Moved furniture, gym equipment, tool chests and dropped tools that would mark bare concrete do not break through it.

Protected from damp, and built to last. The coating protects the slab from moisture and water damage, and the primer fuses into the concrete so it does not peel. A flake floor can be refreshed with a new topcoat years from now, and a damaged patch re-flaked to blend in.

Solid color, flake or metallic across one slab

Solid color epoxy. One uniform color under a clear topcoat. It is the plain, practical finish for the storage and utility part of a big basement: it wipes clean, shows what has been dropped, and in a light tone brightens an area with little daylight more than extra lighting would.

Epoxy flake. Colored flakes broadcast into the base coat and sealed under the topcoat. The texture gives grip and the blend hides the marks of everyday use, so it suits a family room, a playroom or a gym, and it is the finish most people choose when one floor has to run the full length of the basement.

Metallic epoxy. A self-leveling resin with metallic mica pigments, worked by hand into the look of marble, liquid metal or stone, with a high-gloss finish that suits a room lit artificially. It is the choice for the finished end, a bar, a media room or a lounge, where the floor is part of the room.

What comes off the slab before it is coated

We start with mechanical grinding. Diamond grinders remove old paint, leftover glue from carpet or tile, stains, dirt and any earlier coating, and open the pores of the concrete so the primer can bond into it. On a large slab the whole floor is ground to the same profile, so every part of it bonds the same way.

Cracks, holes and chipped areas are opened out, cleaned and filled flush, and control joints are treated so the floor runs across them cleanly. Anything left in the slab tends to show through a finished floor, so this stage is done carefully on every job.

Edges get the same attention as the open floor: along walls, around posts, the sump, the floor drain and the foot of the stairs. Where the finished end meets the bare slab, the join is ground so the new floor runs through without a step.

Coats, flake and topcoat, in order

A primer is rolled into the ground concrete, where it fuses in and forms the bond everything else depends on. The pigmented base coat follows, and on a flake floor the flakes are broadcast into it until the surface is fully covered. A solid color floor gets a second coat of color instead, and a metallic floor is worked by hand while the resin is wet.

Once the base has cured the loose flake is scraped back, which leaves the texture even from one end of the basement to the other.

The clear polyaspartic topcoat goes on last. It is abrasion resistant, glossy and UV stable, it takes the traffic and the cleaning, and it keeps the finish looking the way it did when it went down.

Burr Ridge houses and the space below them

Houses in Burr Ridge sit on generous lots and tend to have large basements, and many of those are only partly finished. That makes a coated floor a sensible piece of work on its own, because the unfinished part is already in daily use. We coat basements in Burr Ridge and the neighboring DuPage and Cook suburbs.

We work out of our shop in Roselle with our own installers, not subcontracted labor. The business is licensed and insured, veteran owned and locally operated, and backs its work with an extended warranty on craftsmanship.
