Professionally installed epoxy flooring typically lasts 10 to 20+ years in residential settings and 5-10 years in high-traffic commercial or industrial environments. Lifespan depends heavily on preparation, material quality, and maintenance, with proper care potentially extending residential floors to 20–30 years.
Key Lifespan Factors:
-
- Residential (Garages/Basements): 15–20+ years due to lower traffic and wear.
- Commercial/Industrial: 5–10 years (or more with high-quality, thick, or polyaspartic coatings).
- Installation: Poor concrete surface preparation is the primary cause of early failure.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning (sweeping/mopping) and avoiding harsh chemicals extend the life.
- UV Exposure: Direct sunlight can cause yellowing and degradation over time.
