Construction Industry/Epoxy Coating for Exterior Concrete Surface

Expert: - 6/10/2011


Question
We have an upper, exterior, flat, concrete surface which also serves as the roof for a lower apartment.  What is the proper application of an Epoxy Coating to prevent water penetration into the lower apartment?  We are located in Indiana.

Answer
Hi John;Thanks for your question.  Unfortunately, I can't answer it.  My expertise is all types of floor coverings such as carpet, wood, vinyl, ceramic, etc.  However, I would suggest that you 'google' the concrete institute.  They are located, I believe, in the Chicago, IL area.  Contact them and they should be able to answer your question.  If they can't, please feel free to get back to me for other suggestions.
 

Cordially,

John Michaels

Expertise

We are a floor covering inspection service and a floor covering specifying service. We inspect all types of floor coverings in every city and town in all 50 States and Canada, for manufacturing, installation, or maintenance related problems. We also specify, so when someone is about to choose a floor covering for a residential or commercial installation, after we find out, from them, the particulars about the installation, we can suggest the proper product, installation method, and maintenance method to provide optimum life of the product. (Note that in your B2B Category, we did not find any heading related to our business, so we just chose the Construction category). So if someone has a problem with the performance, installation, or maintenance of any floor covering, we can give suggestions, without a formal inspection, the possible causes of the prolems.

Experience

We have been in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, of all types of residential and commercial floor coverings, for many years, and for the past 13 years, we just inspect and specify.
