Misconception #1: “Epoxy Is Too Expensive”

While professional epoxy may cost more upfront than paint or DIY kits, it actually saves money long-term. Cheap flooring options crack, peel, stain, and require constant maintenance.

A properly installed epoxy system from Flawless Solutions can last 10–15+ years, resisting moisture, salt, chemicals, and impact. This makes it one of the most cost-effective flooring investments you can make.

Misconception #2: “DIY Epoxy Kits Work Just as Well”

This is the biggest myth in the industry. Store-bought kits use weak water-based formulas and require perfect concrete prep — which most homeowners can’t achieve.

• ✔️ 10x stronger
• ✔️ UV-stable
• ✔️ Chemical-resistant
• ✔️ Installed with industrial grinders + diamond tooling

If you want flawless adhesion and a finish that doesn’t peel, professional installation is a must.

Misconception #3: “Epoxy Only Works on New Concrete”

Not true. Epoxy can be installed on both new and old concrete, including:

• Cracked floors
• Salt-damaged surfaces
• Rough or uneven slabs

Flawless Solutions specializes in concrete restoration, meaning we repair, grind, and prep your floor so the coating bonds perfectly.

Misconception #4: “Epoxy Needs Constant Reapplication”

A high-quality system should not need yearly touch-ups. With proper prep and installation, epoxy floors withstand:

• Foot & vehicle traffic
• Toronto winter salt
• Heavy equipment
• Spills & cleaners

Most homeowners enjoy their floor maintenance-free for a decade or more.

Misconception #5: “Epoxy Is Just Paint”

Epoxy ≠ paint. Paint sits on the surface. Epoxy chemically bonds to concrete, creating a rock-solid protective layer.

Misconception #6: “Epoxy Doesn’t Look Good”

Modern epoxy is extremely customizable. You can choose:

• Flake Systems
• Metallic Marble Effects
• Quartz Broadcast
• Solid Colours
• Commercial Non-Slip Systems

Epoxy can increase brightness by up to 200%, making garages and basements feel clean and modern.
