Why Professional Epoxy & Polymer Coatings Matter in Florida
Florida concrete is constantly exposed to moisture vapor, humidity, temperature swings, oil stains, and UV exposure. Without proper preparation and moisture mitigation, coatings can fail—leading to peeling, bubbling, or cracking.
At New Era Landscaping, we don’t cut corners. Our process focuses on total system protection, starting from the concrete slab up.
Key Advantages of Professional Installation
- Prevents coating failure caused by trapped moisture
- Extends the life of your concrete
- Improves appearance and property value
- Creates a safer, slip-resistant surface
- Reduces long-term maintenance costs
Our Epoxy & Polymeric Floor Coating Process
We follow a proven, professional process designed to outperform DIY kits and basic paint-on coatings.
1. Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
We begin by mechanically grinding the concrete using industrial-grade equipment. This step:
- Removes contaminants, sealers, and weak concrete
- Opens the concrete pores for proper bonding
- Creates a uniform surface for maximum adhesion
Grinding is critical—acid washing or surface cleaning alone is not enough for long-term performance.
2. Moisture Testing & Moisture Control Barrier
Concrete naturally releases moisture vapor. If not addressed, this pressure can cause coatings to fail.
We apply a professional moisture vapor barrier that:
- Blocks moisture transmission from below the slab
- Prevents bubbling, peeling, and delamination
- Protects the entire flooring system long-term
This step is especially important in Central Florida’s high-humidity environment.
3. Base Coat Application (Epoxy or Polymeric Resin)
We install a high-performance epoxy or polymer base coat that chemically bonds to the prepared concrete. This layer provides:
- Structural strength
- Chemical and stain resistance
- A solid foundation for decorative finishes
4. Decorative Flake System (Optional)
Decorative vinyl flakes are broadcast into the base coat to:
- Enhance durability
- Add texture and slip resistance
- Create a custom, high-end appearance
Flake systems outperform traditional painted floors by hiding imperfections and increasing longevity.
5. Polyaspartic or Polyurethane Topcoat
A protective topcoat seals the system, delivering:
- UV stability (won’t yellow)
- Scratch and abrasion resistance
- Easy-to-clean, non-porous protection
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Commercial and industrial spaces demand flooring systems that can handle heavy foot traffic, machinery, chemicals, and daily wear.

This is ideal for:
- Showrooms
- Customer-facing retail spaces

A clean, professional floor sends a strong message to customers and employees alike.
Why Epoxy & Flake Systems Are Better Than Traditional Coatings
Compared to paint or DIY kits, professional epoxy and polymer systems:
- Last significantly longer
- Bond deeper into the concrete
- Resist moisture-related failure
- Provide superior traction and safety

This makes them the preferred choice for both homeowners and business owners who want real, long-term results.
