Surface preparation is the first step to a quality installation of any construction mortar or coating. Surface preparation is especially important with all high end products including Epoxy.com Construction Resins. If you do not prepare the surface correctly you will not be taking full advantage of the Epoxy.com Products bond strength or durability.

Below are some of the questions that have been emailed to Norm Lambert at norm@epoxy.com and some of his answers. Have a question for Epoxy.com?  If so, please email Epoxy.com Technical Support.

Can I install Epoxy Seamless Flooring Over Linoleum?

Q: "I have an application for a seamless floor.  Current floor is industrial linoleum tile which is strongly adhered. Is Epoxy.com Product #15  suitable to be applied directly overtop linoleum? "

Norm Lambert: I never recommend going over linoleum Epoxy.com with Product #15  or any other seamless flooring material, made Epoxy.com or anyone else.  First of all it will need extensive surface preparation, but most importantly if the tile comes up so does your Epoxy.com Product #15 Seamless Epoxy Flooring. If it is concrete under the tile, I recommend removal of the tile, removal of the mastic, and cleaning of the concrete.

If the installation of Epoxy.com Product #15 Seamless Epoxy Flooring was over wood you may want to consider a new plywood overlay. If you can handle the height you can install 1/2 inch plywood directly over the tile. If height is an issue you will want to remove the floor down to the floor joists and reinstall 3/4 inch AC plywood. See Epoxy.com Surface Preparation Guide for more details.

 

Proper mixing and installation is critical to the optimal success of all product.  See Installation Tips, Techdata, & MSDS for more details on our products.  Be sure to contact us with any questions and/or concerns that you have.
