Epoxy: Not Just for Crafting — Why It's the Real MVP of Floor Coatings

Let’s be honest—we’ve all seen the glittery tumbler cups, shiny coasters, and DIY river tables on social media and thought, “Wow, epoxy is amazing!” And it is. But here’s a hot take from the pros at PolyMagic:


👉 Epoxy isn’t just for crafting. It’s for concrete.


Sure, epoxy can make your handmade cup sparkle, but when used professionally (like we do), epoxy becomes a durable, industrial-grade solution that protects your garage, basement, commercial space, and more.


So go ahead—bedazzle your tumbler. But when it comes to protecting your concrete, leave the serious stuff to the pros.


What Is Epoxy (Outside of Craft Stores)?

Epoxy is a two-part resin system that, when mixed, creates a strong, chemical-resistant, seamless coating. While crafters use it for small projects, PolyMagic uses high-performance, industrial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic coatings to transform dull, damaged concrete floors into clean, durable, long-lasting surfaces.


We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Kansas City, Columbia, Jefferson City, and Lake of the Ozarks, and our floors are built to withstand traffic, impact, moisture, stains, and harsh chemicals.


Why Epoxy Is the Real Deal for Floors

You wouldn’t seal your driveway with glitter resin from Etsy, right? (Please say no.)
Here’s what real epoxy does when it’s installed by professionals like PolyMagic:


💪 Extreme Durability

Forget glitter cups—our epoxy floors are made to handle vehicles, tools, forklifts, and heavy equipment without scratching or wearing down.


🚫 Moisture & Chemical Resistance

While craft epoxy might protect a countertop from water rings, ours protects garage floors from oil, road salt, chemical spills, and moisture—which is critical in Missouri’s wet winters and humid summers.


🎨 Custom Aesthetics (Yes, Still Pretty)

You can still have style! PolyMagic offers custom color blends, decorative flakes, and high-gloss finishes so your floors look as good as they perform. It’s the perfect combination of form and function.


🧼 Easy to Clean

Unlike crafting mishaps that leave epoxy stuck to your fingers for days, our floors are seamless and non-porous, meaning spills wipe right up with minimal maintenance.


Where Epoxy Shines (Beyond the Craft Table)

PolyMagic installs epoxy and polyaspartic floor systems in:


  • Residential Garages – Protect from stains, cracks, and salt damage

  • Basements – Create a clean, moisture-resistant, finished space

  • Shops & Sheds – Durable surfaces for equipment, tools, and workspaces

  • Commercial Properties – Slip-resistant, heavy-duty flooring built to last


Why PolyMagic’s Epoxy Floors > DIY Craft Projects

While your cousin’s glitter tumbler might turn heads at the family BBQ, our floors turn entire rooms into functional, beautiful, professional spaces.


And unlike DIY kits from big box stores (or leftover resin from that failed coaster project), PolyMagic uses professional-grade, American-made epoxy products and installs them with the precision your floors deserve.


Our process includes:


  • Moisture testing to avoid bubbling or peeling

  • Surface grinding and shot blasting for proper adhesion

  • Custom Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) selection based on your needs

  • Fast cure times and minimal downtime for you


🎉 Final Thought: Leave the Tumblers to Pinterest—Let Us Handle the Concrete

So yes, epoxy can make a sparkly cup. But more importantly, it can protect your home or business from damage, extend the life of your concrete, and even boost your property value.

Let PolyMagic show you the real magic of epoxy—no glitter required.
