    What Is Epoxy Flooring?

    Attractive, custom designs meet unrivaled durability

    Epoxy may look like thick paint when it’s applied but it’s definitely not. Epoxy concrete coatings in Des Moines are comprised of resins and hardeners that cause a chemical reaction when combined. When applied to carefully prepared concrete, the epoxy resin bonds with the concrete itself and cures — not dries — into an ultra-durable and long-lasting plastic material.
    At Artistic Concrete Designs Iowa, we use only high-grade 100% solids epoxy that’s formulated to withstand even harsh industrial and commercial settings as well as residential uses. Our epoxy flooring installers also take the time to prepare your concrete floor with repairs, stain treatments, and concrete grinding to ensure a strong bond that stands the test of time.

    Des Moines Concrete Polishing

    Attractive yet low-cost concrete flooring

    Need a waterproof, low-cost, and decorative floor system for your basement? What about an incredibly tough and virtually permanent commercial flooring solution? Polished concrete can fit these needs and more. Our concrete polishing contractors in Des Moines use a multi-step approach to give you custom polished concrete floors to fit your needs.
    Concrete grinding and polishing involves the use of a densifying chemical that actually makes the surface of your concrete denser and less porous. This also helps the concrete accept a high-gloss sheen through multiple stages of polishing. Don’t be fooled: polished concrete floors don’t need to be gray and industrial-looking. We can use a variety of water- and acid-based stains to achieve anything from mottled earth tones to deep and vibrant shades. We can also create custom patterns and even incorporate logos in a polished concrete floor.
    Durable Flooring Solutions
    That Last For Decades
    We offer unlimited ways to customize your commercial and residential epoxy floors with your choice of colors, patterns, and effects.

    Benefits of Epoxy Flooring in Des Moines

    Why epoxy is a smart investment

    Homeowners and facility owners in Iowa appreciate epoxy floor coatings for many reasons. Epoxy offers unique advantages for all types of environments, from harsh industrial settings with chemical exposure and extreme temperatures to residential basements and garages. Here’s what makes epoxy flooring a great investment.
    • Extreme durability. Epoxy holds up against all types of perils like extreme temperature, heavy machinery, chemical spills, moisture, vehicle traffic, and much more without deterioration, stains, or wear.
    • Affordable. An epoxy floor coating is one of the most cost-effective floor systems you can choose. Along with a low upfront cost for a custom floor, epoxy requires minimal care and it can last decades.
    • Safe and easy to sanitize. Epoxy flooring offers a slip-resistant surface that’s perfect for a garage or commercial building. Thanks to its seamless and resilient surface, it’s also a sanitary floor that meets USDA standards and may be installed in a commercial kitchen, public restroom, or a medical facility.
    • Bright and reflective. An epoxy concrete coating increases floor brightness by up to 300% thanks to its reflective surface. This improves visibility in work areas and brightens dark areas like a garage or basement.
    • Unlimited design choices. Epoxy can be installed in a single, sleek color, with a multi-color custom design or popular option like checkerboard, or with multi-colored epoxy flakes that give the look of granite. Metallic epoxy flooring is also an option for a stunning three-dimensional effect.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Questions about our services? Please get in touch! Someone with Artistic Concrete Designs Iowa will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Until we hear from you, here are a few questions we often receive from customers.

      How durable is epoxy flooring?
      It’s hard to beat epoxy floor coatings in terms of durability and performance. Our industrial-grade epoxy coatings are formulated to withstand heavy loads, wet environments, extreme temperatures, chemical spills, vehicle traffic, and other hazards without breaking down. An epoxy floor system is durable enough for a processing plant or factory as well as high-traffic shopping centers, medical facilities, and more.
      What makes epoxy flooring better than a traditional concrete floor?
      Untreated concrete may seem strong but it’s actually very porous and subject to a lot of wear and tear.
      Epoxy flooring is an excellent alternative to traditional concrete flooring for many reasons:
      • Epoxy is seamless and nonporous. It doesn’t have pores like concrete and it won’t absorb moisture and spills that can cause cracks and structural damage in concrete.
      • Epoxy offers a higher tensile and compressive strength than regular concrete to withstand heavy loads and impacts.
      • Epoxy stops concrete dusting for good. This can be very important in wet areas or industries involved in food processing, electronics, and more.
      • Epoxy flooring creates a bright and reflective surface for improved visibility and safety.
      • An epoxy concrete coating creates a more slip-resistant surface than regular concrete. It also promotes safety because it can be customized with safety striping to designate forklift aisles, pedestrian paths, and more.
      How long can an epoxy floor coating last?
      The lifespan of an epoxy floor system depends on where it’s installed, how well the concrete is prepared, the quality of the epoxy, and whether it’s maintained with new clear coats every 5 to 7 years or so. Professional garage floor epoxy and other residential applications can last up to 20-25 years with minimal care as long as it’s installed properly with new clear coats occasionally. Commercial epoxy can last a decade or longer. In harsh industrial settings, an epoxy floor system can still last years.
