Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does epoxy flooring hold up in Georgia's humid climate?

    Versatile High Performance Coatings are specifically designed to withstand high moisture vapor emission (MVE) pressures, preventing common coating failures in humid climates. The systems resist moisture from below the slab and handle Georgia's temperature swings without peeling or delaminating. At D&D Concrete Solution, we use premium high-solids epoxies that perform exceptionally well in Acworth's humid subtropical conditions.
  • What's the difference between Roll on Rock and Lava Flow epoxy?

    Roll on Rock uses a full broadcast of vinyl flakes for a granite-like, textured finish with maximum durability and slip resistance. Lava Flow uses metallic pigments to create a three-dimensional, high-gloss surface with fluid patterns that mimic swirling water or liquid metal. Roll on Rock is ideal for garages needing traction, while Lava Flow suits luxury showrooms and lobbies seeking artistic impact.
  • How long does a garage epoxy floor coating last?

    A professionally installed Versatile epoxy system typically lasts decades with proper care. At D&D Concrete Solution, we back our garage floors with a comprehensive 10-year warranty and a Lifetime Adhesion Warranty from Versatile, ensuring the coating will never peel or delaminate from your concrete slab.
  • Can epoxy flooring withstand hot tire pickup in summer?

    Yes, high-solids industrial-grade epoxies are specifically formulated to resist hot tire pickup, a common issue with lower-quality coatings. Versatile systems create a non-porous, heat-resistant surface that won't soften or peel when tires park on hot summer days. At D&D Concrete Solution, we use premium products engineered for Georgia's heat.
  • What affects the cost of epoxy flooring installation?

    Epoxy flooring is primarily priced by square footage, with costs influenced by the coating system chosen, surface preparation needs, and customization like color blends or metallic effects. Larger spaces typically offer better per-square-foot pricing. At D&D Concrete Solution, we provide transparent, detailed estimates based on your project's size and specific requirements.
  • How do you prepare concrete before applying epoxy?

    Proper preparation is critical for adhesion and longevity. We diamond grind or shot blast the surface to remove contaminants, open the concrete's pores, and create an ideal profile for bonding. Any cracks or damage are repaired, and the slab is thoroughly cleaned. As certified Versatile installers, D&D Concrete Solution follows strict preparation protocols to ensure flawless results.
  • Is metallic epoxy flooring slippery when wet?

    Metallic epoxy has a high-gloss finish that can be slippery if left untreated. However, we can incorporate anti-slip additives into the topcoat to improve traction without sacrificing the reflective, glass-like appearance. At D&D Concrete Solution, we customize slip resistance based on your space's function and safety needs.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with garage floors?

    The most common mistake is applying DIY epoxy over unprepared or contaminated concrete, leading to early peeling and failure. Professional diamond grinding and certified installation are essential for long-term adhesion. At D&D Concrete Solution, our Versatile certification and Lifetime Adhesion Warranty ensure proper prep and flawless bonding every time.
  • Can epoxy coatings be used in school restrooms?

    Absolutely. Seamless, non-porous epoxy floors are ideal for school restrooms because they eliminate grout lines where bacteria and moisture can hide, making cleaning fast and effective. At D&D Concrete Solution, we've installed durable, hygienic coatings in schools across North Atlanta, meeting strict public facility standards for safety and sanitation.
  • How soon can you walk on a new epoxy floor?

    Light foot traffic is typically safe within 24 hours, though full cure and vehicle traffic readiness usually take 3 to 5 days depending on temperature and humidity. At D&D Concrete Solution, we provide clear timelines during installation so you know exactly when your Acworth garage or commercial floor is ready for use.
  • Do epoxy floors resist oil and chemical spills?

    Yes, high-solids epoxy creates a non-porous, chemical-resistant barrier that protects concrete from oil, gasoline, road salt, and household cleaners. Spills wipe up easily without staining or damaging the surface. At D&D Concrete Solution, we use Versatile High Performance Coatings designed specifically for automotive and industrial chemical exposure.
  • What's a Lifetime Adhesion Warranty and how does it work?

    The Lifetime Adhesion Warranty from Versatile guarantees that properly installed coatings will never peel or delaminate from the concrete slab. It's manufacturer-backed and applies when certified installers follow strict prep and application standards. At D&D Concrete Solution, every epoxy project includes this warranty alongside our 10-year craftsmanship guarantee for complete peace of mind.
