Overview
What Is Commercial Epoxy Flooring?
Commercial concrete floors take a different kind of abuse than residential ones — constant foot traffic, wheeled equipment, chemical spills, and aesthetics that need to stay sharp year after year. Generic solutions do not hold up in commercial environments. Summit Surface Company installs commercial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic systems that meet the demands of retail, hospitality, automotive, and light industrial environments. Our commercial systems are specified for the exact application — a showroom floor needs different chemistry than a restaurant kitchen, which needs different chemistry than a warehouse. We work with business owners, property managers, and general contractors across the Birmingham metro area and North Central Alabama to specify the right system for each environment, install it correctly, and minimize business disruption with scheduled installations outside normal operating hours when needed.

Installation
How We Install It
Site Assessment
We evaluate the existing concrete condition, traffic load, chemical exposure, and regulatory requirements to specify the appropriate system.
Surface Preparation
Commercial floors are diamond-ground or shot-blasted to the required profile. Heavy contamination from oils or chemicals requires additional treatment.
System Installation
The specified coating system is installed, typically including a primer, intermediate build coat, optional decorative layer, and topcoat.
Inspection & Handoff
We inspect the finished floor under commercial lighting conditions and address any items before the space returns to service.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a commercial floor installation take?
Timeline varies by square footage and system complexity, but most projects span 2–4 days or longer for larger spaces. We schedule enough time for proper preparation, coating, and cure. The finished floor should remain unused for at least 24 hours after the final topcoat, with vehicle traffic waiting 72 hours.
Can you install floors after hours to minimize business disruption?
Yes. For retail and restaurant clients, we regularly schedule installations during evening, overnight, and weekend hours to avoid disrupting normal business operations.
Do you work with general contractors on commercial build-outs?
Yes. Summit Surface Company regularly coordinates with GCs on new commercial construction and renovation projects in the Birmingham metro area and surrounding counties.
What is the most durable commercial floor coating available?
For maximum durability in high-traffic commercial environments, we typically specify a high-build polyurea or polyaspartic system over a diamond-ground substrate. The exact system depends on your specific traffic loads and chemical exposure.
Do you serve the Birmingham metro area for commercial flooring?
Yes. We serve Birmingham and all surrounding communities including Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Trussville, Bessemer, and the full Jefferson County commercial market.
What does the lifetime coating warranty cover?
For qualifying installations, our written lifetime coating warranty covers delamination, peeling, and coating failure caused by covered material defects or our installation/workmanship. It does not cover damage from abuse, chemical spills beyond the coating system’s specified use, or structural concrete issues identified and disclosed during the estimate. The written warranty supplied with your estimate or contract controls, including maintenance requirements and the process for reporting a claim.
