If you’ve had an epoxy floor fail before — bubbling, peeling, delaminating within a couple of years — the floor wasn’t the problem. The preparation was. Skipping diamond grinding, ignoring moisture in the slab, applying the wrong system for the environment: these are the reasons floors fail, and they’re entirely preventable.
Long Island’s coastal humidity creates elevated moisture vapor in concrete slabs, especially in older school buildings throughout Bohemia and Suffolk County. If that moisture isn’t tested and addressed before installation, it will push up through the coating and destroy the bond. We test moisture on every job before a single coat goes down. It’s not an add-on — it’s standard practice.
We also match the system to the environment. High-heat zones near dishwashing equipment require a thermally resistant cementitious urethane, not standard epoxy. We’re factory-trained in both, which means we’re not guessing at what your specific cafeteria needs.
