Properly sealing concrete before applying epoxy resin is crucial because it:
-
Prevents moisture from the concrete from causing bubbling, peeling, or poor epoxy coating adhesion.
-
Seals the porous surface, reducing air bubbles and ensuring even absorption of the epoxy resin for a smoother, more durable finish.
-
Strengthens the bond between the concrete and epoxy, improving the coating’s longevity and resistance to wear, stains, and chemicals.
-
Helps reveal and address surface imperfections, ensuring the epoxy adheres uniformly and looks professional.
Skipping this step can result in coating failures, unsightly finishes, and reduced durability of your epoxy floor.
