Epoxy concrete floor. Do it yourself?

Would you like to install your epoxy siding yourself, since it seems simple enough? 
Before you embark on this adventure, read the information on this page carefully to make sure you consider what is worthwhile. Your choice will be all the wiser. 

We specialize in epoxy and polyaspartic floors. If you only knew the many customers who contact us to correct the work they have done themselves. It is important to us to prevent this from happening to you as well. 

Let's start with a comparison. Most people go to the garage for an oil change. Maybe you do too? It's an easy enough operation. ​

So, what is the reason for using a paid service instead of paying for it yourself? It's probably the fact that it's a dirty job that attracts so many people to their mechanic. After all, it is the mechanic who has access to the equipment required to do the job in the best possible conditions - quickly and efficiently. This is rarely the case at home. What's more, they are knowledgeable and able to choose the right oil or air filter specifically for your vehicle. Plus, your mechanic's extensive experience allows him or her to identify more important problems that you may have overlooked. ​

The experience

It is the same thing as far as we are concerned. We have the equipment, the products and the experience required to install your epoxy flooring in an optimal manner. Our extensive experience has been built up over the years, as we have had to deal with many circumstances that are sometimes beyond comprehension. When we make an evaluation visit for your project, we notice the particularities of each of the rooms in your living space that you want to transform. This is what allows us to offer you the product that suits your preferences and the conditions of the premises. That's what will allay any worries you may have. 

Covering the floor with an epoxy floor requires real know-how. So, it is a trained eye that evaluates your concrete, just like the artist who analyzes the material before starting his work. No project is the same as another, it is important to be able to identify the options that are appropriate in the midst of the many that are possible. 

Preparation of the concrete floor

Initially, the surface must be prepared. This is often what distinguishes a successful project from one that fails. When you do the installation yourself, you don't have the range of professional tools to do a flawless and efficient job. The concrete is covered with paint? It is essential to remove the paint first. This is synonymous with hard, exhausting work. Also, many people are strongly tempted to turn round corners and be satisfied with the few areas where the paint comes off. We do not advise you to do this, because the final results will be affected. If you take the trouble to sand your entire floor, your surface will not have received the best possible care. In fact, since the best way to achieve the best results is to grind the floor with a machine that has diamond blades and not to sand it.  

By using the services we offer, at Plancher Epoxy Granby, you don't have to worry about the quality of the work: the preparation of your surface will be done according to the rules of the trade. Our grinding wheel is equipped with diamond blades, which allow us to remove the old paint layer entirely. If your concrete is free of paint, the use of the grinding wheel is still required to ensure proper preparation for better epoxy adhesion. Experts widely agree that the use of the diamond blade grinding wheel is the best way to proceed during the preparatory phase of a concrete installation. Our specialized equipment allows us to achieve the ultimate in well executed work. 

The products used

The consumer cannot always obtain certain products whose access is reserved for professionals. This condition makes us able to select the right product for your unique project. In addition to this advantage, we offer a wide range of colors and finishes. However, as in other sectors of activity, using professional products instead of those sold at the retail level is a guarantee of work that meets the highest standards. The steps​
