Epoxy Flooring in Lower Saucon Township, PA

Lower Saucon Township covers about 24.3 square miles south of Bethlehem, with the Lehigh River along its northern edge. It began as farmland along Saucon Creek, and in 2000 it had just 162 housing units per square mile, far fewer than the city. Epoxy flooring in Lower Saucon Township is often about space: big garages, detached workshops and outbuildings that hold equipment, vehicles and projects.

Nine villages

The township includes Bingen, Colesville, Leithsville, Lower Saucon, Redington, Seidersville, Steel City, Wassergass and Wydnor. Homes range from older village houses to newer places on open lots. Floors range just as widely, from an old one-car slab to a large shop floor poured for a tractor.

Workshops and outbuildings

A detached shop gets used differently from a house garage. It may see a lift, a welder, heavy equipment or fuel and oil every day. For those floors we use:

• A full diamond grind to remove dirt, sealers and contamination.
• Crack and joint repair so the slab moves as designed.
• A thick 100% solids epoxy from our commercial line.
• A chemical-resistant topcoat, with texture where people stand.

Unheated outbuildings need extra planning. Standard epoxy wants a warm slab. In cooler months we heat the space or switch to a polyaspartic system that tolerates lower temperatures.

Interstate 78 and winter salt

Interstate 78 is the main highway across the township, and its nearest local interchanges are in neighboring towns. Getting to it means driving back roads that are salted every winter. Large garages collect a lot of brine across several bays. A flake floor with a clear topcoat lets you squeegee the melt toward the door instead of letting it soak into the slab.

Near the Goodman Campus

Lehigh University's Goodman athletic campus, home of Mountain Hawks athletics, is in the township. Some homeowners nearby use garages and basements as home gyms or equipment rooms. A textured epoxy holds up to dropped weights and cleats and cleans easily after muddy days.

Older village homes

In the older village centers, some homes with garages and basements that have been reworked more than once. These floors often need crack repair, removal of old paint and leveling before a coating. Newer homes on larger lots tend to have bigger, cleaner slabs that mostly need grinding and joint repair. We price each one based on what we see on the floor.

Planning a big floor

For large garages and shops, a few decisions affect the price and the result:

• System: standard epoxy, polyaspartic or a hybrid.
• Finish: solid color, partial flake or full flake broadcast.
• Texture: extra grit for wet, oily or work areas.
• Repairs: joints, cracks and damaged edges.

We walk through each choice with you at the estimate and write it all into the quote.

Basements on country lots

Homes on larger lots may sit on wells, have sump pumps and see seasonal dampness. We moisture-test every basement before we quote. If the slab reads modestly damp, we use a moisture-tolerant primer. If water is entering, we stop and tell you it needs fixing first. Call (610) 424-3849 for a free visit.
