Epoxy Flooring in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

Epoxy flooring in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has to handle salt, sand and wet gear. The town occupies a narrow barrier island between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic, with an elevation near 7 feet and a coral reef roughly 100 yards offshore. In 2016 the Florida Legislature recognized it as Florida's Beach Diving Capital. Garages, storage rooms and back patios here deal with dripping wetsuits and tanks more than most.

Rooms where dive gear lives

A rinse area or gear room needs a floor that drains and grips:

• A coarse texture in the topcoat so wet fins and bare feet do not slide.
• A slight pitch toward a drain or door where we can feather it in.
• Salt-resistant chemistry that will not soak up chlorides the way bare concrete does.
• Cove edges a few inches up the wall where hoses and rinse water hit.

Homes that sit empty half the year

The 2020 census counted 6,770 housing units in town, with 46.4% vacant, many of them seasonal, and the population nearly doubles in winter. A closed-up unit can bake in summer heat and humidity with no one checking on it. A sealed, nonporous floor holds up better through those months than bare concrete or tile with open grout. We can also plan the work for spring or early fall, so the coating has time to cure before you lock up.

Easy footing for every age

The median age in town was 62.7 at the 2020 census, and 44.3% of residents were 65 or older, so slip resistance is a real priority. We add grit or flake to anything that gets wet, keep transitions at doorways flush, and avoid high-gloss finishes on patios and pool decks.

Hotels, motels and the pier

Tourism is the main industry, and many older hotels and buildings show mid-century modern design. Lobby, pool deck and back-of-house floors can be phased around bookings. We use fast-cure topcoats where downtime is tight, and UV-stable finishes anywhere the sun reaches.
