I'm researching various products and methods for my epoxy floor finish. I've watched some videos and read threads about rubber thresholds and am considering installing one. I have not read whether there is any issue with gluing this down on top of the floor after the epoxy is installed and cured.

Install over epoxy?

Here is an example of the type of threshold.

Not a problem. Rough up the top coat a little with some sandpaper and it will glue down well.

Sensible solutions makes a great product. When you order it make sure you request the packaging that has the cartridge as opposed to the tubes.

To answer your question neither the epoxy companies nor the threshold companies will warranty the application, but it is done every day just as Shea described.

Shea and Justin - Thank you for responding. I suppose it makes sense. If the concrete is profiled correctly, then the epoxy should bond to the concrete such that the concrete would have to fail for the coating to fail. So the threshold bond should be dependent on the strength of the adhesive bond.
