Thick. Seamless. Reliable.
High-build epoxy floors offer a smooth, durable surface built to withstand heavy use, chemicals, and routine cleaning — perfect for demanding industrial and commercial settings.
What is a High Build Epoxy System?
High-build epoxy systems are multi-layered, trowel- or roller-applied resin flooring systems designed to create a durable, chemical-resistant, and seamless surface. Typically installed at 30–125 mils (depending on use), these systems offer greater impact resistance, longevity, and performance than thin-mil coatings or basic paint-on epoxies.
Built on a foundation of proper concrete preparation, these systems usually include a primer coat, one or more body coats, and a protective topcoat — creating a thick, industrial-grade surface that stands up to foot traffic, equipment, and moderate chemical exposure.
High-build epoxy systems are smooth by default but can be customized with non-slip additives or colored flakes for texture and design flexibility.
Why chose a Metallic Epoxy System
Durable & Long-Lasting
Thicker than standard coatings, high-build systems resist abrasion, impact, and wear in medium- to high-traffic areas.Chemical Resistant
Protects against oils, cleaners, solvents, and mild acids — perfect for commercial and industrial environments.Seamless & Easy to Maintain
No grout lines or seams, making cleaning fast and hygienic.Cost-Effective
Offers excellent long-term value compared to thin coatings that wear quickly and require frequent reapplication.Customizable Finish
Available in gloss or satin finishes with optional texture or slip-resistant additives.Moisture Vapor Barrier Compatible
Can be installed over vapor barrier epoxy to protect against slab moisture and hydrostatic pressure.
Best Applications
High-build epoxy systems are ideal for commercial and industrial spaces that require a seamless, durable surface resistant to wear, chemicals, and frequent cleaning.

Our Process (How We Install High Build Epoxy Systems)
1. Mechanical Surface Preparation
We grind or shot blast the concrete surface to achieve the correct CSP (Concrete Surface Profile), removing contaminants and weak surface layers. Edges and transitions are detailed with hand tools, and the surface is thoroughly vacuumed.
2. Crack & Joint Repair
Cracks, spalls, and control joints are filled using compatible epoxy or polyurea materials. Substrate imperfections are leveled for a clean, even base before coating.
3. Primer / Vapor Barrier Coat (If Required)
A moisture-tolerant epoxy primer or vapor barrier is applied, typically 8–12 mils, to ensure adhesion and protect against moisture vapor transmission.
4. Epoxy Body Coat Application
We apply one or more layers of high-build 100% solids epoxy, building up to the desired thickness (usually 30–125 mils). This layer provides structure, impact resistance, and base color. Additional passes can be done for extreme durability.
5. Optional Texture / Slip-Resistant Finish
Non-slip aggregates (aluminum oxide, silica, or broadcast flake) can be added to the body coat or topcoat to meet OSHA or site-specific traction needs.
6. Protective Topcoat
A urethane or polyaspartic topcoat is applied for enhanced chemical resistance, UV stability, and long-term gloss or satin finish retention. This top layer protects the underlying system from stains, abrasion, and wear.
Tough Floors Without the Overkill
High-build epoxy is the go-to system when you need a cost-effective but durable floor that handles wear, cleans up fast, and looks sharp in tough environments.
