Installing epoxy flooring the right way requires specialized tools. While you may have the basics, like brushes, buckets, and tape, you also need some items that the average flooring pro may not have. Here’s what you need to have on hand for your next epoxy project:
- Spiked Shoes
Walking across wet flooring is necessary for professional results. Unlike regular shoes, spiked shoes have cleats on the bottom. The small imprints made by these cleats close up quickly and keep the concrete sealer smooth. A consistent coating surface simply isn’t possible without these shoes. Need a pair for yourself? We offer some of the best in the business.
- Squeegees
Squeegees aren’t just for windows. They also play a huge role in your flooring project. Depending on the deposition of the floor coating, different notched squeegees can be used. Great news – we offer squeegees in various sizes and notches, so you can pick up this tool no matter what your project needs are.
- Spiked Rollers
This is one of the most important tools to ensure a long-lasting, even finish for your floor. The spikes on these rollers release air bubbles that can get trapped in thick epoxy materials. It’s good to have a few different ones on hand, depending on the project you’re working on – we’ve got you covered.
- Rollers
Like squeegees, rollers have more than one use. Paint rollers can be used for epoxy flooring. However, not just any roller will do. You need a larger-sized roller to efficiently apply coating to an entire floor. Check out our selection to find the right size for your project.
