Great Plains Epoxy: Breathe New Life Into Your Floors

With an established presence and extensive expertise in the floor coating industry, Great Plains Landscaping & Design recently added a new division to the company, Great Plains Epoxy (www.GreatPlainsEpoxy.com), to specifically focus on this area of the business.

Great Plains Epoxy’s offerings include epoxy coating, metallic epoxy, stained concrete, pool deck coating, porous pave and many other floor coatings and sealing options.

What is Epoxy Flooring? Epoxy is an actual thermosetting resin that is applied as a coating. It is used for areas that require a safe, clean, bare foot friendly non slip surface and aesthetically appealing flooring solutions.

Epoxy is low maintenance and easy to clean with no resealing or grout.  It is more affordable than vinyl or tile and increases your home’s re-sale value. Great Plains Epoxy offers unlimited color combination choices and designs to match or accent your room design and colors.

Epoxy Floor Advantages:

• Low Maintenance • Seamless and Durable Surface
• Barefoot Friendly and Non Slip • No Resealing or Grout
• More Affordable than Carpet and Tile • Increases Re-Sale Value
• Adds Aesthetic Properties • Quick Application (1-3 day turn around)

Interview with Marcus Hellwege, President of Great Plains Landscaping & Design and Great Plains Epoxy.

What is new in your epoxy business? Recently we have been installing licensed sports logos into the garage floor coating.  In the installations we take the team colors mixed with a neutral color to form a flake that covers the garage.  Many people are installing big screen televisions, sound systems, storage cabinets, heater units and our epoxy floors in their garages which provide the perfect entertaining area. Our epoxy floors are easy to clean by simply using dish soap and a squeegee.

How long does it take to install an epoxy floor? It takes 1-2 days depending on materials and weather. Our product can be installed year-round. We also install epoxy in interior spaces of a house.  This product is called lava flow or metallic. We mix colors to form granite, water flowing and natural stone looking floors.

How much does it cost to install an epoxy floor? The price range is anywhere from $3 to $6 per sq. ft. depending on the epoxy application.  We can install epoxy on garage floors, basements, bar tops, kitchens and pretty much anywhere there is a flat concrete surface.

Are there any warranty options? Yes, we can provide a lifetime warranty on the garage floors for an extra warranty protection cost.

What are the most popular colors for garage floor flake? We have thousands of color mixture choices. But our most popular colors are black/white/grey and earth tone mixes.  We do mix colors from your favorite sports teams to make the perfect man cave and spring graduation school colors.

What types of projects are you seeing a demand for or currently working on? As previously mentioned, many homeowners are converting their garage into a mixed-use space that accommodates larger gatherings for graduations, football games, family get-togethers, and entertaining in general.  In line with this, epoxy flooring really transforms and elevates the look which aligns with all of the other upgrades and we currently have projects underway in Lincoln and Omaha as well as nationwide. Although a fairly new offering, installing decals on the floor has been quite popular with our clients so far. As far as the lava flow for interior rooms, we’ve been working on a number of projects including basements, kitchens, bathrooms, bar areas and mud rooms.
