Additional Instructions
Foot Traffic
Please wait approximately 24 hours after epoxy floor coating is installed before walking on it. It is safe for light foot traffic after 24 hours if the temperature is 77° F or warmer. If the temperature is lower, wait for 36–48 hours before allowing light foot traffic.
Heavy foot traffic is permissible on the epoxy floor coating 48 hours after the installation as long as the temperature is 77° F or warmer. In cooler conditions, please wait 72–84 hours (three to four days).
Vehicle Traffic
Please wait 72 hours after epoxy floor coating before allowing light vehicle traffic. This is the standard for temperatures that are 77° F or warmer. If temperatures are cooler, please allow four to five days for the surface to cure. “Light vehicle traffic” is defined by having a vehicle park on the surface for 12 hours or less.
Five days after the epoxy floor coating is installed, it is safe to park your vehicle for longer than 12 hours if temperatures are 77° F or warmer.
Curing Time
Please allow at least seven days for the epoxy floor coating to finish curing at 77° F or warmer, and at least 10 days to completely cure if temperatures are below 77° F.
Do not drive on the surface with hot tired until the surface has fully cured. We recommend letting tires cool down for at least 30 minutes before parking on the coated surface.
