Epoxy Application Tools for Floor Coating Installers

One Stop Epoxy supplies the application tools that floor coating installers actually use: red rubber and notched speed squeegees, Magic Trowels, paddle mixers, Sherlock and Big Ben roller frames, Pro Roller covers, spiked shoes, scrapers, poles, cups, buckets, tape, and complete tool kits. Brands include Seymour Midwest, Pro Roller, and the Wooster Sherlock and Big Ben frames.

A good floor starts with the right materials, but the install can still go wrong if the tools are worn, missing, or not matched to the system. Use the product grid and the guide below to match the right tools to your floor system.

Not sure what your project needs? Buying the right tool kit with your flooring system is the simplest way to make sure the core application tools are in the order before installation day.

Concrete prep comes first

This page is about application tools, but a coating only bonds to a properly prepared slab. Before you apply epoxy, most floors need to be mechanically ground and vacuumed. Grizzly Grinders, available through One Stop Epoxy, supplies the grinders, vacuums, dust collection, and diamond tooling for the job. Browse Grizzly Grinders and vacuum packages, or read how to prepare your concrete.

Frequently asked questions

What tools do I need to install an epoxy floor?▾

Most projects need cups or buckets, a mixer, a squeegee, rollers and frames, tape, brushes, spiked shoes, and cleanup tools. Full flake floors also need a flake scraper once the broadcast cures.

Do I use a squeegee or a roller for epoxy?▾

Usually both. The squeegee spreads the coating across the floor at the right rate, and the roller back rolls and levels it. A notched squeegee controls film thickness, with different notch sizes for different coverage rates.

What are Magic Trowels used for?▾

Magic Trowels give a smoother, more controlled spread for metallic epoxy, decorative coatings, micro toppings, and self leveling materials, with fewer lines and ridges.

Why do installers use spiked shoes?▾

Spiked shoes let you walk into a wet coating without leaving shoe prints, which matters during broadcast and decorative work.

What roller frame size should I use?▾

A Big Ben 18 inch frame covers large open areas faster, and a Sherlock 9 inch frame handles edges, walls, and tighter spaces. Many installers keep both on the job.

Should I buy individual tools or a tool kit?▾

If you install regularly, buy individual tools as you need them. If this is your first floor or you are buying a complete system, a tool kit is the easy way to avoid coming up short on installation day.

Can One Stop Epoxy help me choose tools for my system?▾

Yes. If you are not sure what your floor needs, contact One Stop Epoxy before ordering and we will match the tools to your system, square footage, and experience level.
