Epoxy may be exactly what you are looking for! It is one of the most durable floor-finish options on the market, and it also offers a wide range of options: solid-colour epoxy, vinyl flake broadcast, or even a metallic or marbled effect! <\/p>\n

Application is a bit more complex than standard floor paint, but with a little care and the right guidance, anyone can do it! We will show you how.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”10px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”16909″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” img_link=”https:\/\/colobar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/epoxy-metallique-metalise-sur-plywood.jpg”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

You dream of an epoxy floor, but your old covering makes you think the project will be complicated? In many cases, the transition is simpler than you might think. <\/p>\n

The first step is to remove the existing covering, whether it is ceramic, linoleum, or wood. Then, depending on the condition of the floor, it may be necessary to level it to obtain a stable, even surface. Plywood panels can be used, in particular, to correct differences in level and create a suitable base for the next steps. <\/p>\n

Why choose epoxy? Because in addition to offering excellent durability, it can completely transform the look of a room. Modern finish, contemporary effect, wide variety of colours and styles: it is the kind of project that can give a room a whole new personality. <\/p>\n

Here are a few tips to maximize your chances and successfully complete your epoxy flooring project.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”3%” top_padding_phone=”10%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”10px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-xs-4″ column_padding_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”letter-reveal-bottom” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#88988d” content_alignment=”left” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”01″ font_size=”6vw” font_line_height=”1″ font_size_phone=”65″ font_size_tablet=”70″ text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-xs-8″ column_padding_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” font_style=”h2″ content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”What conditions are required to apply epoxy over your plywood?” font_size=”2vw” text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][image_with_animation image_url=”16910″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” img_link=”https:\/\/colobar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/epoxy-metallique-metalise-sur-plywood-application.jpg”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

1) Your plywood must be completely dry<\/h3>\n

First of all, make sure the plywood is perfectly dry<\/strong>. This step is far from optional. Moisture trapped in the wood will naturally try to evaporate over time. Once the epoxy is applied, that moisture may push up under the coating<\/strong>, which can lead to adhesion issues, blisters, or even peeling. <\/p>\n

Moisture can also interfere with epoxy curing<\/strong> and compromise the quality of the final result. In short, it is better to wait a few extra days than to have to redo the project later<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Once your substrate is completely dry, you must follow one of the golden rules of any epoxy project: surface preparation is never a step you can rush.<\/p>\n

2) The plywood must be stable and securely fastened<\/h3>\n

One of the most common mistakes when installing an epoxy floor over plywood is underestimating how important a solid substrate is<\/strong>. Yet even the best epoxy on the market cannot make up for an unstable or poorly fastened surface. <\/p>\n

The reason is simple: once cured, epoxy becomes extremely rigid. Unlike some more flexible coatings, it tolerates very little movement in the substrate<\/strong> it is applied to. <\/p>\n

If the plywood panels move slightly or the seams shift, those movements will eventually damage the finish<\/strong>. The epoxy may then split<\/strong>, crack<\/strong>, or delaminate<\/strong> in certain areas. <\/p>\n

Before you even think about applying the coating, take the time to verify that the floor is solid<\/strong>. The plywood must be securely fastened<\/strong>, stable<\/strong>, and properly supported<\/strong>. If certain sections seem to move or lack support, it is best to make repairs before you begin<\/strong>.
\nWith epoxy, a solid surface is not a luxury: it is the foundation of a floor that will stay beautiful<\/strong> for years. <\/p>\n

3) Your plywood must be smooth and even<\/h3>\n

Another very important point to keep in mind: 100% solids epoxy<\/a> is self-levelling. Once applied, it will level itself and settle into every small imperfection<\/strong> in the surface. <\/p>\n

That is great news for achieving a very smooth finish\u2026 but only if the surface is in good condition. Otherwise, every defect in the substrate will show through<\/strong>: cracks, screw holes, splinters, knots, or seams between plywood panels. <\/p>\n

Before application, you therefore need to take the time to fill all of that<\/strong>. A patching epoxy<\/a> or pore filler is ideal for filling and evening out the surface. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mix the patching epoxy<\/a> until you obtain a uniform texture. The mixing ratio to follow is 2 parts resin to 1 part activator. <\/li>\n
  2. Apply the patching epoxy using a putty knife<\/li>\n
  3. Allow it to cure for 4 to 6 hours.<\/li>\n
  4. Sand with 80-grit sandpaper to level the surface and make it smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once your plywood is stable and your floor is smooth enough, you will be able to apply 100% solids epoxy<\/a> over it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1780329937523{margin-top: 2% !important;margin-bottom: 2% !important;padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #e7eef4 !important;}” text_direction=”default”]TIP<\/strong>: If you need to purchase new plywood, I recommend choosing premium select or BCFir plywood with one sanded side (or nearly perfect).

Even a high-end epoxy will not adhere properly to a contaminated surface. <\/p>\n

    Before application, make sure the floor is perfectly clean and free of grease. Oils, waxes, cleaning products, or certain contaminants can cause adhesion issues and compromise the durability of the coating. <\/p>\n

    To degrease the surface, you can use a specialized cleaner such as Krud Kutter<\/a> if thorough rinsing is possible. If you cannot rinse, a citrus solvent<\/a> applied with a cloth can be a practical option. <\/p>\n

    If the plywood or floor has already been painted, varnished, or covered with an old coating, sanding is also required. The goal is to remove existing layers and create a sound surface that the epoxy can bond to properly. If you have access to a floor sander, the job will be much faster. Otherwise, many rental centres offer the equipment needed for this type of project. <\/p>\n

    Once sanding is complete, do not underestimate the importance of dust removal. Even the slightest dust left on the floor can affect the quality of the finish. Vacuum carefully with a shop vac, then do it a second time to ensure the surface is spotless before moving on.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”3%” top_padding_phone=”10%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”10px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-xs-4″ column_padding_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”letter-reveal-bottom” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#88988d” content_alignment=”left” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”03″ font_size=”6vw” font_line_height=”1″ font_size_phone=”65″ font_size_tablet=”70″ text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-xs-8″ column_padding_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” font_style=”h2″ content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Apply a first coat of epoxy to seal the plywood floor” font_size=”2vw” text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][image_with_animation image_url=”127370″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” img_link=”https:\/\/colobar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/epoxy-exterieur-polyurea-marches-dentree-beton-epoxy-appliquer-polyaspartique-rouleau.webp”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]When the surface is clean, dry, thoroughly dust-free, and all joints and imperfections have been patched, it is time to apply a first coat of epoxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
