Your concrete floor puts up with a lot. From the heavy salt and slush of our Buffalo winters to the humid summers, it needs protection that can keep up. A simple coat of paint just won’t cut it.
That’s where a professional epoxy floor coating comes in. It’s a strong, shield-like layer that transforms your tired concrete into a smooth surface that stands up to just about anything.
At ProShield Concrete Coatings, we use high-quality epoxy systems to give your floor serious protection and a great look. An epoxy concrete floor is a smart choice for Western New York homes and businesses.
What is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a surface made by applying several layers of a two-part material, epoxy resin and a hardener. When these parts are mixed, a chemical reaction happens that bonds tightly to the concrete.
This bond creates a surface that is incredibly strong, resistant to chemicals, and lasts a long time. It’s far more than a simple sealant; it’s a complete surface transformation.
Why an Epoxy Floor Coating is Perfect for Western New York
Our weather is tough on concrete. Here’s how an epoxy floor coating handles what Buffalo throws at it.
Winter Salt & Moisture
Road salt and melting snow can seep into porous concrete, causing it to crack and spall over time. An epoxy floor creates a non-porous barrier. This seals the concrete completely, blocking out water and salt.
Temperature Swings
Epoxy expands and contracts with the concrete through our freezing winters and warm summers. It adds resistance to weather fluctuations.
Durability for Daily Life
An epoxy garage floor can handle the weight of your vehicles, dropped tools, and foot traffic without showing wear. It resists stains from oil, gasoline, and antifreeze.

Where You Can Use Epoxy Flooring
The strength of epoxy makes it incredibly versatile. It’s not just for garages.
Residential Spaces
An epoxy concrete floor is ideal for garages, basements, and even patios. It turns a dusty, dull basement into a clean, usable space for a workshop or rec room.
Commercial/Industrial Areas
In stores and restaurants, epoxy flooring stands up to heavy equipment, constant foot traffic, and spills. Its seamless surface makes it easy to keep clean and sanitary, which is essential for businesses.
You can see examples of our commercial work on our Past Work page.
The ProShield Difference for Your Epoxy Floor
Anyone can pour epoxy from a kit. Getting a floor that looks great and lasts for decades is a different story. Here’s how we make sure your floor is done right.
We Prepare with Care
The most important step in the entire process is the preparation. If the concrete isn’t properly prepared, the epoxy cannot form a strong bond. We thoroughly clean your floor and use professional diamond grinding equipment to open the pores of the concrete.
We Use Professional Materials
The epoxy products you find at a hardware store are not the same as those we use. Our commercial-grade epoxy systems are much thicker, more durable, and designed for long-term performance. They are formulated to handle the specific challenges we face here in Buffalo, NY.
We Have the Right Experience
Applying epoxy correctly is a skill. Our team knows exactly how to mix and apply the material to avoid bubbles, uneven coverage, or a weak finish. We know how to work in our local climate to ensure a perfect cure every time. This experience shows in the final result.

Is Epoxy Flooring Slippery?
This is a common concern. While a basic glossy epoxy can be slippery when wet, we offer additives that can be mixed into the topcoat to create a non-slip surface. This is especially important for areas like pool decks, restaurant kitchens, or commercial entrances that might get wet.
Caring for Your New Epoxy Floor
One of the best things about an epoxy floor coating is how easy it is to maintain. Routine cleaning usually requires just a dust mop or a quick pass with a damp mop. You can use a mild detergent. You won’t need to wax or seal it ever again. Its resistance to stains means spills wipe right up without leaving a mark.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does epoxy flooring last?
With our professional installation, your epoxy floor should last for many years, even with heavy use.
Can epoxy be applied in cold weather?
Yes, but it requires climate control. We use special equipment to manage temperature and humidity during installation for a perfect cure.
Is epoxy flooring good for basements?
Absolutely. It seals the concrete, preventing moisture vapor from coming through and creating a much cleaner, drier living space.
How long until I can use my epoxy garage floor?
We recommend waiting about 72 hours before walking on it and a full 5-7 days before parking cars on it.
What makes epoxy different from paint?
Epoxy is a much thicker coating that chemically bonds to concrete, while paint just sits on top. Epoxy is far more durable and resistant to peeling.
