Before: Worn and Damaged Concrete Landing

Apartment landings experience constant foot traffic, weather exposure, and moisture, which often leads to surface damage over time. In this Northridge apartment complex, the concrete landing had become stained, worn, and uneven, with visible repairs and patching.

The existing concrete surface showed signs of:

  • Surface deterioration
  • Previous patch repairs
  • Staining and discoloration
  • Rough texture and uneven areas

These issues are common in multi-family apartment buildings, where landings and walkways are heavily used by residents, visitors, and maintenance teams every day.

Without proper protection, concrete surfaces continue to degrade and become harder to maintain.

Preparation: The Key to a Long-Lasting Epoxy Floor

Before installing the new coating system, our team performed a full surface preparation process, which is essential for a durable epoxy installation.

Preparation included:

  • Grinding the concrete surface
  • Repairing cracks and damaged areas
  • Cleaning and removing dust and debris
  • Preparing the concrete to ensure proper epoxy bonding

Proper preparation ensures the epoxy system adheres correctly and lasts for many years in high-traffic areas.

After: Durable Epoxy Flake Flooring

Once the surface was properly prepared, we installed a decorative epoxy flake coating system designed specifically for apartment common areas.

The finished landing now features:

  • A modern grey decorative flake finish
  • Slip-resistant texture for improved safety
  • A seamless protective surface
  • A durable coating built to handle heavy foot traffic

The transformation not only improved the appearance of the landing but also created a surface that is much easier to maintain and far more durable than bare concrete.

Ideal Flooring Solution for Apartment Landings

Epoxy flake systems are an excellent choice for apartment stair landings, walkways, and entry areas because they provide:

  • Long-lasting durability
  • Improved safety with slip resistance
  • Easy cleaning and maintenance
  • A modern, professional appearance
