Finshed up my first expoxy floor today. Couldn't be happier with it.

So exciting! We hope your project went so well!🔥
How’d it go bro? What’s your IG

We all want to know how it went
You have hart for you're work I can tell you love it.. Good to see.. I am from netherlands and also work in flooring.. We mainly are doing flake floors... And what you are doing is top notch
Let's go!!! Thank you for going through the process. So excited to do my first epoxy floor!

Respirator always!!!
Great video and products, you really take the time to explain the process I’ve seen a few of your videos recently, they’re very informative how can I go about leaning more is there a class or some like that. Thanks
Let’s go !! Man I just showed my wife this video and we’re definitely game for knocking this out.
Awesome tutorial - thank you! Could you elaborate more on the spraying with alcohol?
A great teacher+1st quality materials= GREAT JOB. Every second of your videos is pure gold for me. Thanks for all your effort to share with us your knowledge.

Well said
Let’s Go!Doing by myself on a smaller project in basement this Saturday 👀🗣Let’s go!🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great Video, and thank you for the explanation.
1- What's the life expectancy in a normal house- few kids?
2- What type of tool do you use to clean? Special mop?
LETS GO! Your videos are awesome and give me hope I can do this myself.
Do I have to use a concrete grinder or can I use acid? Also, I know you use a big water scrubbing machine to clean after grinding. Does a water pressure washer do the trick?
Would really love how to learn to do this. You guys do amazing stuff
I've used commercial grade epoxy for a company based out of baton rouge Louisiana, man power an skill an knowing product timing is essential. I enjoyed doing all the raising canes restaurants in Louisiana all the way to Huston and even residential floors and car ports, garages. From flake to pearl I miss the trade!!
Definitely can do this. I’ve had experience in epoxy on smaller projects and this will be easy. Finding help is the problem 😊
I feel you on that
go to ur nearest home depot
Lets Gooo start next week doing apoxy flooring with my cousin just lookin for tips and tricks to look better while doing it

I recently moved into a rancher with a slab foundation. The laminate wood floors are looking a bit rough, and I'm seriously considering doing epoxy floors.
How exciting! For reference, here is an epoxy flooring project we did over wood subfloor! ua-cam.com/video/qOXqsk4HCdY/v-deo.html

I bought and installed the leggari garage floor kit about 4 years ago and I have a 2'x2' spot starting to bubble and chip. Any advice on how to fix this one spot without having to redo the entire garage? Product turned out great and get a lot of complements. Just need to repair this eye sore
This is an amazing process we are thinking of getting into this business, I think there is plenty of demand where we live!
Great Video!!! Very informative. We polish concrete working into doing more epoxy.
Great video! You're the boss I wish I had
Excellent teacher, great job!
Thanks! Much appreciated
LETS goooooo!! starting my own epoxy business in a few months!!!
Looks great. Excellent tutorial. So can you do this inside on a basement floor and what are the attachments on their sneakers, how do the spies not track product? Love this concept ❤️
Yes you can! Leggari spiked shoes allow you to walk on the wet epoxy without messing up the design! Check them out leggari.com today!
the spikes have a point to them that always walking above the epoxy it works well but can b slippery when walking leggari has alot videos on what types of prep primer to use and the process for grinding or etching concrete and sanding epoxy before top coat !!!cheers !!!
Let's Go!
Looks awesome guys.
This is an AMAZING video. I’m pullin’ the trigger and doing this for our shop. I am hoping you have full kits on your website down to the cleats!

When you put the 1st sealer coat for outgrowing why did you not score the floor again before pouring the basecoat? Also do you need respirators when applying?
Great videos thank you
Excellent work.
Thank you!
Thank you for your video. I think the ideas and advice given are very good. Thank you very much. I'm going to do two bathrooms, ok, and I already have the idea. Well, I make bases for tables and bars, but I've never made a floor. duseño would have been better if they had applied the longest black lines and more liquid they almost do not shine
Great stuff - would love to do this - from Perth Western Australia
Like the content and finish guys just want to know do you have to machine sand the floors first, or can you just acid wash on bare concrete? Also how hard wearing is it ie car tires etc
Let's go I'm a resin artist and I'm excited to do my floors
This looks amazing and I want my basement done in red and gold
Thanks for this video! We’re applying clear epoxy to exposed aggregate, ground concrete. It’s going to look fantastic 🎉
LET'S GO!!! I'd love to set up an installation company. But tell me, is the actual doing of it as a business even half as fun / satisfying as watching the videos?
How do you clean the tools and with what? Say I had two jobs in a day; maybe best to have two sets of everything or is clean up fast.
Also prepping the floor from motor oil spots to cracks? You have anything out there?
I’m working on an upstairs room with some spots along the wall that have about a inch of separation. Should in all my baseboards first?
I have a 250sq ft basement room I want to epoxy, I removed all the tile and started to remove the left over thinset. I got about a quarter removed, was wondering do I need to remove everybit of thinset down to bare concrete or is okay to knock just the high spots down and leave the rest with standard grooves. Will the epoxy fill in the gaps? Or should I use a self leveling concrete on the whole floor first or continue to chisel/grind the thinset down? (So much dust)
hi mate thx video so good , but i have some question , if customs wanna glossy not like Matte , what is use for top coat?
thx so much
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Question, me and my wife want matte finish epoxy floors in our new house. We currently have stained concrete. Ive noticed in some lighting you can see where our dogs have scratched across the floor and some areas are faded. Do epoxy floors hold up well with animals and fading?
Say I’m doing a big floor and your doing sections , do you have a certain time to make sure when you do the next section the new section still flows with the old ?
Very nice work sir
Can I pour new epoxy on an existing epoxy floor? And does the garage floor need to be level?
I reallly really want to spend 2 months working with you guys on projects! free labour and pay for the course!
If you're laying it down on cractile, will it make all the tile pieces stick together and B as one.
Without falling apart
Finshed up my first expoxy floor today. Couldn't be happier with it. 0:58
I wanna see do you have a gram?
Let's go. I did epoxy coat in my garage 15yrs ago. Needs a little help now. Maybe in spring I will fix it. It's January now.
Thats awesome, yes, reach out to us if you have any questions!
Let's Go! I would like to offer this as a service with my company. But have to experiment with it and get a feel for it.
Great job you are doing there, and also your way of showing us how to do it is very good. Keep up the good work .I'm living in Romania. I plan to start a business with expoxy flooring. Can you please recommend me some products, where to buy, hot to find the right tools and mixing amounts? Thank you
Let’s go. I just took a fulfillment partner position with a concrete coatings company. Already invested in a trailer and 4K of tools.
What are some steps to do a basement with a semi rough floor will you need to be sure the surface is smooth or no ?
What's the difference between rolling epoxy or pouring it and spreading it with a squeqee like in this vid? I saw these two ways now, and was wondering.
I just got 3 H&C shield Crete kits, gallon of clear coat and a bag of flakes for free from my neighbor. Spent the past few days scrubbing the floor to just realize I’m gunna have to grind it after all(last owner put peel n stick carpet out there so no oil stain ever got cleaned up for many decades)😂 should I use something like behr concrete primer before applying the epoxy floor? My slab is in a floodplain so it always has some humidity, I read in multiple articles that it works well for paint(my original plan before I got all the free epoxy stuff) I’m curious if I should still use the primer or if I should just return it with the other paint supplies. Also it’ll be in a garage that’s going to get wet in the winter, will it be slippery?
Great video
Let's go! Gonna do this on my small shop floor
Amazing! Be sure to send us before and after pictures of your project! We love to see customer projects🔥
Let’s Go! Gonna try this for my kitchen floor!
Do it! Be sure to send final product pictures our way once you're done! We love to see what customers come up with.🔥
@@LeggariProducts will send pics for sure our house is old and on a concrete foundation so we may end up doing all of the floors in the house depending on how this goes. Thanks for the inspiration!
This was so gorgeous
Glad you liked it!
I love watching your beautiful floors emerge. I would be interested to know how much this 800 sq ft floor cost material wise.
Price out your kit today at leggari.com!
Let me ask do you hit with a big torch to get colors moving or get any bubbles out.
do you have to scuff the clear coat (physical adhesion), or are you doing it while the clear is still wet (chemical adhesion)?
where do you get the spikes I am doing this on my basement floor of my investment property I have worked with epoxy before easy to do and lasts forever and looks great
Loool u used all that metallic epoxy and then dulled it all out dang ... Loved the whole process just about to do my garage
Can this be use on an outside wooden deck in a cold climate environment ? thanks
Do Epoxy floors absorb sound or reflect it? Kind of curious, thinking of doing this in my basement.
Do you Have a video on doing this over ceramic tile? I want to do it in my basement
That is good job
I got epoxy done 2 days back, can I now get all clear coating on top of it.
Good afternoon. Tell me, is it necessary to pass the primer before applying the resin?
Do we need a particular shoes for this? How many hours/days it took to dry?
Let's go! Doing this to my fiancé's house very soon.
Exciting! Be sure to send photos of your final product to us! We love to see our customers' projects. Good luck!
Wonder if it can be used as a kitchen backslash?
How would you recommend starting with this process. (Everything prior to this video) as in what materials do you use, what’s the mixing process, how do you prep the floor/areas, etc
LETS GO!!!
I’m in Northern California. Sacramento/Stockton Area. What would be the rate per sf here? There is competition.
Also is urethane harder than epoxy? Why use it as the top coat?
Have you ever used polyurea or polyasparatic? These compound seem to be very expensive and I am wondering what the use case would be for these.
LET'S GO!!!!! I want to do this so badly but since I'm a lady it might be very difficult to break out on the scene 😕... I told my hubby I wanted to do this & he said that I can be the "mixer" 😆... I'm the one that showed him!
You can do it, thanks for watching!
@@LeggariProducts OH I WILL 😆 DETERMINED!!!
lets go!!!! doing my garage floor soon......
Exciting! Best of luck to you!
How sturdy is the epoxy flooor then? Considering it's an acrylate does it scratch easily?.
Great video! What if you don't add the final dull portion to the flooring and just leave it shiny looking?
We recommend adding a topcoat for durability and depending on how it is applied, the topcoat can take away some of the shine.
Find topcoats @ Leggari.com.
did they forget to do the edges of base before putting highlights? Do we HAVE to do a primer on? being that first coat after prep/grinding.
I want to epoxy my floor. I’ve seen some videos where the epoxy starts peeling in some spots. How do you prevent that from happening
Why do you spray denatured alcohol on this coat ? Do you spray it on the entire floor ? Should this floor be rolled toward the end and if so, rolled before or after spraying it with denatured alcohol ? Thanks.
I will be a lot floors for mine office and warehouse looks cool
Gut gemacht💯👍👍👍
Vielen Dank
“Let’s go!” I want to do the first floor of my home and my garage this way!
Go for it! The results are 🔥 If you buy from us, we include full, in-depth installation tutorials with every kit purchased at Leggari.com to ensure you have what you need for a successful project. Another popular option for garages are our flake floors😍 leggari.com/order-flooring/#flake-floor-kits SO durable
This dude is a good teacher - calm and helps you feel confident while you're doing the action. Rare in this kind of work. My question is did you guys sand this or did you not have to bc you did the epoxy layer first? Or is this a new construction and you didn't feel like you needed to?
more than likely used a grinder on the floor before anything
The floor was shot blasted to make it really porous, then we did a thin coat of epoxy to seal the poors and minimize outgassing. This layer also creates an extremely strong bong with the concrete so it'll last a LONG time. From there the decorative coat can be installed. ALWAYS prep the surface to ensure a strong bond between the substrate and coating products💯
Yessir! Always prep the substrate🔥 Our favorite prepping tool is a shot blaster to establish a porous surface and create a strong bond.
Great job guy's. Can i do like neon color's in a two care garage.
At what point do you take the tape off the walls? Wont epoxy stick to it?
Let’s gooo!!! Thank u!!!!
Don't have to roll?.and does the gazoo tunes must be played when I pour my epoxy also?~~~~~~~:)
Let’s go. Heck ya new shop
💯💯
Let's go !!!i can do this
