Why choose Epoxy countertops over marble countertops?

Epoxy countertops are non‑porous, stain‑resistant, and less prone to acid etching than marble; they also allow seamless, custom colors and finishes at a lower installed cost. Legacy Epoxy uses a high‑build, UV‑stable resin and a food‑safe topcoat so your countertop resists stains and discoloration while matching any design vision.

How long does epoxy flooring last?

With proper surface prep and maintenance, residential epoxy floors typically last 15–20 years; commercial or industrial systems can last longer depending on traffic and chemical exposure. Legacy Epoxy offers industrial‑grade systems and a written warranty; our moisture testing and professional profiling extend lifespan and reduce premature failures.

Is epoxy slippery when wet and how can I improve traction?

Smooth epoxy can be slippery when wet; adding anti‑slip additives or a textured finish greatly improves traction for garages, kitchens, and commercial areas. Legacy Epoxy applies certified anti‑slip aggregates and offers graded textures, so you get the right balance of grip and cleanability for your space.

Will epoxy yellow over time from sunlight exposure?

Some epoxies can yellow under UV exposure; modern UV‑stable resins and clear topcoats greatly reduce yellowing. Legacy Epoxy uses UV‑resistant topcoats and recommends tinted or shaded solutions for sun‑exposed areas to preserve color and gloss. Flakes and Quartz do not yellow overtime from sunlight exposure.

Can you match a specific color or finish for my epoxy floor or countertop?

Yes! Epoxy can be customized in virtually any color or finish, from solid tones and metallic swirls to decorative flakes and textured, slip‑resistant surfaces. We create sample boards and mockups so you can preview the exact hue and sheen before we install.
