How to Choose, Mix, and Install Epoxy Floor Coatings
One Stop Epoxy supplies professional grade epoxy flooring products from our Orlando, Florida store and ships nationwide. These guides answer what customers ask at our counter every day. How do I prepare the slab. Which system fits my garage, my shop, or my warehouse. What does an epoxy floor really cost. Which topcoat belongs on top, and why do some floors fail early. Every guide is written from the buyer's side, for the person ordering the material and doing the work, whether that is one garage on a Saturday or a full crew schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which guide should I start with?
If epoxy flooring is new to you, start with The Complete Guide to Professional Epoxy Flooring Systems. It walks the full build from slab evaluation through topcoat and cure, and links out to the deeper guide for every step. If you already know your project, use the topic finder above to jump straight to the guide that covers it.
Are these guides for DIY customers or contractors?
Both. Roughly half our customers are homeowners coating a single garage and half are contractors buying material for jobs. The guides are written from the buyer's side, so they cover what to order and why, not only how to spread it.
What is the difference between an epoxy kit and an epoxy flooring system?
A kit is the packaged A and B components. A system is everything the finished floor needs: preparation, repair, primer, base coat, decorative media, and topcoat. Buying only the kit is one of the most common reasons a floor comes up short.
Do the guides tell me which products to buy?
They name products where it matters and link to them. For a guided walkthrough, the Flooring System Selector matches a system to your slab, your traffic, and the finish you want. For exact mix ratios, coverage rates, and cure times, always check the TDS for the product you are using.
How many products does One Stop Epoxy carry?
We stock 18 application specific epoxy formulations (including 6 metallic variants), 7 polyaspartics, and 100+ custom pigments, along with primers, moisture vapor barriers, flakes, topcoats, Grizzly Grinders concrete prep equipment, diamond tooling, and application tools. That depth exists so the system can be matched to the job instead of forcing one product to do every job.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Free shipping to the 48 contiguous states, and low cost shipping to Alaska and many Latin American countries. We ship most orders out the same or next business day. Equipment and palletized freight are confirmed before the order ships.
Do the guides cover commercial and industrial floors?
Yes. Garage floors get the most attention because that is the most common project, but the guides also cover warehouses, auto shops, showrooms, and other commercial spaces where traffic, chemicals, and downtime change the right answer.
