Epoxy Flooring in Tamarac, FL

Epoxy flooring in Tamarac fits the idea the city was built on. Developer Ken Behring came from the Midwest in the early 1960s with a plan for an active adult community of two-bedroom, maintenance-free homes. Tamarac was incorporated on August 15, 1963. Six decades later, homeowners still want the same thing from their floors: something that looks good, is safe underfoot and needs very little care.

Floors for a city of experienced homeowners

At the 2020 census, 25.9% of Tamarac residents were 65 or older and the median age was 47.5. Many owners have lived with tile, carpet and grout for a long time and are ready for something simpler. When we talk with Tamarac owners, three things come up most: 1. Safe footing. We add texture or a fine anti-slip grit to the topcoat, especially at entries, laundry areas, garages and lanais. 2. No grout lines. A coated slab is one continuous surface. A damp mop is the whole cleaning routine. 3. No trip edges. With old tile and thresholds removed, the floor can run flat from room to room. That helps walkers, rollators and wheelchairs.

Behring's neighborhoods

Behring's projects included Tamarac Lakes Sections One and Two in 1963, Tamarac Lakes North and South, the Mainlands of Tamarac Lakes west of State Road 7, and the Woodlands. Many homes in these areas are villas and single-story houses, often in associations. Interiors often have original or replaced tile. Garages and carports tend to be small and used for a golf cart, bikes or storage as much as a car. Screened rooms and patios face the lakes and greens.

Low ground, close to water

Tamarac sits at an elevation of just 3 feet, and about 0.48 of its 12.08 square miles is water, mostly lakes and canals. Ground water is close to the surface here. Before we coat, we test the slab for moisture. If the slab reads high, we use a primer rated for damp concrete or tell you it needs time. That step protects against the blisters and peeling that show up when vapor gets trapped under a coating.

Association approval

Many Tamarac homes are in 55-plus or homeowner associations. Interior floors are usually simpler to approve than patios, walkways or anything visible from the street. Ask your association what it requires. We supply a written scope, product data sheets and color samples for the board, and we book once you have approval.

When the garage holds a golf cart

In a lot of Tamarac homes the garage or carport is where the golf cart charges, the bikes hang and the hurricane shutters wait for the season. Battery chargers can drip, tires leave marks and shutters get dragged across the floor twice a year. A flake system with a tough clear topcoat handles all of that. We also suggest a light color, which makes the space brighter and easier to see in for anyone with weaker eyesight. If you plan to keep a chair or workbench in the garage, we can add extra texture in that area so it stays grippy.

Systems that fit Tamarac homes

• Interior living areas: a solid color or soft metallic finish with a satin topcoat that reduces glare
• Garage and golf cart bays: a flake system that hides tire marks and resists hot-tire pickup
• Screened rooms and lanais: a UV-stable, textured finish that stays cooler underfoot in light colors
• Laundry rooms and entries: extra texture where floors get wet
