Commercial Epoxy Flooring Systems We Install in Kansas City
Standard 100% Solids Epoxy Coating
The foundation of commercial epoxy flooring: a primer, body coat, and topcoat system using 100% solids epoxy. Available in solid colors, with anti-slip aggregate as required. Suitable for warehouses, manufacturing areas, and back-of-house commercial applications. Cost: $3–$6 per sq ft.
Self-Leveling Epoxy System
A poured, self-leveling epoxy system creates an ultra-flat, seamless surface ideal for food service facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and healthcare environments where hygiene and cleanability are critical. Thickness typically 3–5 mm. Cost: $5–$10 per sq ft.
Quartz/Aggregate Broadcast System
A multi-layer system incorporating quartz aggregate for maximum slip resistance, chemical resistance, and compressive strength. Ideal for commercial kitchens, brewery floors, locker rooms, and pool decks. Meets OSHA and ANSI A137.1 slip resistance requirements. Cost: $6–$12 per sq ft.
Mortar Epoxy System (Heavy Duty)
The most robust epoxy system for severe service environments — forklift traffic, heavy equipment, chemical exposure, and thermal shock. Uses a 100% solids epoxy binder with an aggregate-filled mortar layer at 3–10 mm thickness. Ideal for Kansas City food processing, chemical manufacturing, and heavy industrial floors. Cost: $8–$18 per sq ft.
Decorative Flake or Metallic for Commercial
Decorative systems (flake broadcast, metallic) are increasingly popular for commercial spaces where aesthetics matter: Kansas City auto dealerships, retail stores, fitness centers, and hospitality venues. All decorative systems can be engineered to meet commercial performance specifications. Cost: $4–$12 per sq ft.

Scheduling & Business Continuity
We understand that downtime is expensive. High Stakes Epoxy LLC’s commercial teams are experienced at working around business schedules — including nights and weekends — to minimize disruption. Many of our Kansas City commercial projects are phased to keep portions of the facility operational throughout the installation. For fast-track projects, we use polyaspartic coating systems that cure hard in 2–4 hours, allowing a single-night installation and return to service the following morning.
Project Showcase: Commercial Epoxy in Kansas City
Gardner Food Processing Plant — 45,000 Sq Ft Quartz System
A food processing facility in Gardner required a full flooring replacement that met FDA food facility standards. We installed a three-coat self-leveling quartz epoxy system with integral cove base across 45,000 sq ft, phased over three weekends. The floor meets all USDA inspection requirements and has operated flawlessly through five years of production.
Overland Park Fitness Center — Decorative Flake System
A multi-level fitness center in Overland Park selected a gray and black decorative flake epoxy system for their gym floor, locker rooms, and training areas. We used a polyaspartic topcoat to allow the facility to open 48 hours after the start of installation. The floor has withstood three years of heavy equipment, foot traffic, and daily cleaning.
Kansas City Auto Group — 22,000 Sq Ft Metallic Showroom + Service Bay
A major Kansas City auto group contracted High Stakes Epoxy LLC to install metallic epoxy in their new showroom (12,000 sq ft) and a broadcast quartz epoxy system in the adjoining service bay (10,000 sq ft). The project was completed in one week prior to the dealership’s grand opening. The metallic floor has become a distinguishing feature of the dealership’s brand.

FAQs — Commercial Epoxy Flooring Kansas City
Q: How long does commercial epoxy flooring take to install in Kansas City?
A: Timeline depends heavily on square footage, system specification, and cure time requirements. A 10,000 sq ft warehouse floor can typically be completed in 2–3 days. Food service and healthcare projects requiring 3–5 mm self-leveling systems may take 4–7 days. We always provide a detailed project schedule as part of our proposal.
Q: Can commercial epoxy flooring be installed while our Kansas City business is operating?
A: In many cases, yes — through phased installation. We work with facility managers to divide the floor into sections, maintaining operational access to portions of the facility throughout the project. For businesses requiring complete uninterrupted access, we can schedule entire projects over weekends or holiday closures.
Q: What warranty does High Stakes Epoxy LLC provide on commercial projects?
A: We provide written workmanship warranties on all commercial projects, with terms varying by system type and application. Material warranties from our manufacturer partners range from 5 to 15 years for commercial installations. Contact us for specific warranty terms for your project type.
