Quick Answer

What is the best flooring for a dog kennel?

For most kennels it is a broadcast flake or quartz epoxy on diamond-ground concrete with a chemical-resistant topcoat. It is seamless, so urine and water cannot soak into the slab, it takes daily hose-downs and disinfectants, and the texture gives dogs and staff grip on a wet floor.

Bare and sealed concrete absorb urine and odors, and mats and tile both have seams where waste collects. Every slab is moisture-tested first, since a kennel floor gets wet from above every day and can carry moisture from below too.

Our Commercial Floor Coating Process

How We Build a Professionally Installed Commercial Epoxy Floor.

Most peeling epoxy floor installations don't fail at the topcoat — they fail at the prep or the bond. Here's what's actually in every Apex floor.

Every layer engineered for Florida heat, Southern humidity, and the demands of a working commercial floor.

01

Prepared Concrete Slab diamond-ground to CSP-2/3

Your existing slab, mechanically profiled to a Concrete Surface Profile of 2 to 3. Cracks patched. Moisture verified. Every layer above only lasts if this one is right.

02

Pigmented Epoxy Basecoat 100% solids, rolled edge-to-edge

A pigmented, self-leveling 100%-solids epoxy rolled wet-on-wet directly onto the diamond-ground slab. Delivers the color depth and the film thickness that separates a real floor from a paint job.

03

Vinyl Flake Broadcast hand-cast to full rejection

Vinyl chip flakes hand-broadcast into the wet basecoat until the surface refuses more. Scraped flat and vacuumed once it sets. Color, camouflage, and slip-grip in one.

04

Polyaspartic Topcoat UV-stable, chemical-resistant

What you walk on. This aliphatic polyaspartic floor coating seals the flake and shrugs off UV, road salt, brake fluid, and hot tires. 25-year warranty starts at this layer.

FAQ

Kennel & Vet Clinic Flooring Questions We Get Asked Most

Straight answers on cost, cleaning, grip and scheduling.

Cost & Value

How much does epoxy flooring cost for a kennel?‹

Flake and quartz start at $6 per square foot installed. A 1,500 sq ft kennel starts around $9,000. Cracks, moisture and removing an old coating are what move the number.

Is epoxy better than rubber mats or sealed concrete for kennels?‹

Mats trap waste underneath and have seams, and sealed concrete wears through and absorbs odors. A coated floor is seamless, hoses clean and doesn't hold smells.

Does it work for a vet clinic, not just the kennel?‹

Yes. Exam rooms, treatment areas, lobbies and boarding all take the same system, with the finish chosen for each room.

Cleaning & Hygiene

Can the floor take daily hose-downs and disinfectants?‹

Yes. The topcoat is chemical-resistant and the floor is seamless, so water and cleaners stay on the surface.

Will urine smell soak into it?‹

No. The floor is non-porous, so urine stays on top and cleans off instead of soaking into the slab.

Is a textured floor hard to clean?‹

No. A flake or quartz texture squeegees and hoses clean and still gives grip.

Grip & Wear

Is it slippery for dogs?‹

Not with a broadcast finish. Flake or quartz leaves texture that gives paws and boots grip on a wet floor.

Will claws scratch it?‹

A hard topcoat resists scratching, and a flake texture hides the wear there is.

Do you repair cracks first?‹

Yes. Cracks and damaged joints are repaired and ground flush before any coating goes down, so water has nowhere to get in.

Install & Warranty

Can we stay open during the install?‹

Usually. Runs are coated in sections so animals move to finished areas. Foot traffic in about 4 hours, full cure in about 72.

Do you test for moisture?‹

Yes, every slab. Kennel slabs stay damp, and moisture pushing up from the ground is what lifts untested coatings. High readings get a mitigation primer first.

What does the 25-year warranty cover?‹

It covers the installed system: bond failure, peeling and delamination, which are the things prep decides. It doesn't cover impact gouges, chemicals left standing, or damage from work done on the floor after install. It runs 25 years and transfers with the building.
