How this calculator works

Use floor size, coat count, kit coverage, prep level, and region to estimate epoxy flooring materials and installed cost.

Material model

The engine multiplies floor area by coat count, adds waste, and rounds up to whole kits.

Prep model

Prep levels approximate cleaning, etching, grinding, repairs, and labor intensity.

Failure risk

Moisture and poor surface prep are common causes of coating failure, so the calculator keeps prep assumptions visible.

Coated areafloor area x coats

Kitscoated area + waste / kit coverage, rounded up

Costkit range + prep and labor range

Assumptions

Coverage: Use the actual product label for coverage, coat count, pot life, and recoat windows.
Moisture: Moisture testing and crack repair are not included unless represented in prep level.

FAQ

Does this include crack repair?

Only indirectly through the prep level. Heavy repair should be priced from site conditions.

Why do kits and cost both matter?

DIY material planning uses kits; installed pricing also depends on prep, labor, and local market rates.

Should I use one coat or two?

Use the coating system instructions. Many projects use primer, color coat, flakes, and/or topcoat rather than a single coat.
