Rome Wasn’t Built In a Day
Epoxy and polyurea flooring has become a popular choice for commercial and industrial flooring due to its durability, resistance to chemicals, and low maintenance requirements. However, not all epoxy floor installations are created equal. For example, there are some companies that claim you can install any epoxy floor in as little as one day. While that may be possible for a handful of jobs, in order to ensure you’ve done the job right the first time, you may be looking at an installation time of 1-5 days. What matters most, is not the time for installation, but proper floor preparation ensuring a flawless floor the first time.
The world’s greatest floor coating products can peel and fail from a poorly prepared floor.
Overall, the key to a successful epoxy floor that will last for years to come lies in a flawless installation process with a thorough and meticulous team on the project. At Forte Surfaces, we understand the significance of proper epoxy floor installation and have perfected our processes and procedures over the last 15 years to ensure top-notch results.
Here are seven traits you should look for in your Epoxy Flooring installation company:

Our technicians undergo rigorous training to the highest standards in the industry. We invest in their education and provide them with the latest knowledge and techniques in epoxy floor installation. This ensures that our technicians are well-equipped to handle any challenges that may arise during the installation process.
Surface Preparation:
Surface preparation is a crucial step in epoxy floor installation. We start by shot blasting or diamond grinding the floor to create the right surface profile for the epoxy to adhere properly. We also thoroughly clean the floor and fill any cracks or saw cut joints to ensure a smooth and even surface for the epoxy application. Proper surface preparation is essential for the longevity and performance of the epoxy floor.
Quality Products:
We use high-quality epoxy products that are specifically designed for commercial and industrial applications. Our epoxy coatings are UV stable and resistant to chemicals, tire marks, and peeling, ensuring that the floor is properly sealed and protected against wear and tear.
Customized Solutions:
We work closely with architects, engineers, and coatings manufacturers to determine the best type of epoxy flooring system for each specific project. We consider factors such as the traffic the floor will receive, the budget, and the customer’s requirements to develop customized solutions that meet the highest standards of quality.
Customer Commitment:
Forte Surfaces will always prioritize excellent customer service from the very first phone call and throughout the entire installation process. We listen to our customers’ concerns and address them promptly and professionally. Our goal is to ensure that our customers are satisfied with the results and have a positive experience working with us.
Ongoing Maintenance:
We provide our customers with proper care and maintenance guidelines to keep their epoxy floors in good condition. We recommend regular cleaning with mild detergents and pressure washing, and we are available to answer any questions our customers may have about their floor.
Continuous Improvement:
We constantly strive to stay up-to-date with new trends and technologies in the epoxy floor industry. We work closely with product manufacturers who share our mission and values to ensure that we are using the most advanced products and techniques in our installations. We also maintain a track log of any issues that arise during our operations and use them as opportunities for continuous improvement.
