The 2025 Shift: Safety + Specialization in Epoxy Flooring
📍 Location Highlight: Erin, Ontario – Commercial Automotive Garage👷 Project Partner: Contractor Bob | 2,350 SQFT | Rosebud Flake System
Across North America, one trend is dominating the epoxy floor coating industry this year: Customized traction zones built to meet specific environmental and operational demands. In July 2025, this isn’t just a luxury — it’s becoming the industry standard. Why? Because facility managers, safety officers, and commercial clients aren’t looking for “shiny finishes” anymore. They want:
🔒 Functional safety underfoot
🧪 Chemical and moisture resistance
🔧 Tailored solutions per room or process
Case in Point: Commercial Garage in Erin, Ontario
This 2,350 sqft automotive facility was a prime example of how modern epoxy systems can (and should) be adapted for specific real-world uses. “One traction level doesn’t fit all,” said Bob, a contractor we’ve partnered with for years. “This client needed different levels of grip depending on the zone - and Epoxy Boss made that happen.” Here’s how we made this trending approach work on-site:
✅ Wash Bay
Risk: Wet surfaces + cleaning chemicals
Solution: Quartz additive for superior grip when wet
✅ Restroom
Risk: Slips near water sources
Solution: Aluminum oxide for finer, safety-grade traction
✅ Mechanical Room
Risk: Grease, oils, vertical surface exposure
Solution: Vertical 4” coatings + tailored grip finish
