Epoxy Basement Floors You Can Actually Live On

Basements need the same prep as a garage, plus a little more care with the details. We grind the slab to remove old paint and surface laitance, fill cracks and saw-cut control joints so they don't show through, and work cleanly around posts, framing and stairs so the finish runs right to the edge. Then the base coat, your chosen finish and the polyaspartic top coat.

The floor is sealed when we leave: no more concrete dust, no more stains from a spilled drink or a leaking washer.

Solid colour is the most common basement floor: a single tone, smooth and bright, that reads as a finished floor under area rugs and furniture. Flake adds texture and hides dust, so it suits laundry rooms, workshops and utility areas. Metallic epoxy is the showpiece option for a bar, home theatre or rec room where the floor is meant to be noticed.

Because basements are cool and can hold moisture, we check the slab at the quote and tell you whether a coating is the right call or whether grind and seal is the better fit.

Carpet holds moisture and smells, laminate swells if the basement ever takes on water, and tile is cold and the grout stains. A coated concrete floor handles the occasional wet basement better than any of them: if water gets in, you mop it up and the floor is unchanged. It also keeps your ceiling height, since it adds almost nothing to the slab.

From Bothwell we coat basements across Chatham-Kent and in Windsor, Essex County, Sarnia-Lambton and London. We work around framing, posts and stairs: you clear the floor, we handle the rest.
