What Is Tariff-Proof Flooring?


In today’s construction climate, pricing volatility is a real concern. When materials are imported, tariffs and supply chain delays can derail timelines and blow budgets.

Tariff-proof flooring refers to surfaces that don’t rely on imported materials—which means stable pricing, shorter lead times, and no surprises.

Polished Concrete: The Ultimate Tariff-Free Floor


Your building already has the material—we just refine it.


Why it’s tariff-proof:

  • Uses your existing concrete slab

  • No imported tile, stone, or vinyl

  • Fully domestic process


Other benefits:

  • Durable and long-lasting

  • Low maintenance

  • Ideal for warehouses, retail, and industrial settings


Epoxy Flooring: Tariff-Free When You Choose the Right Partner


Some epoxy systems are imported. Ours aren’t.

Surface Solutions installs epoxy floors using Sherwin-Williams resinous systems, which are manufactured right here in the USA.


Benefits of using U.S.-made epoxy:

  • No import tariffs

  • Faster lead times

  • No shipping disruptions

  • Trusted quality from a domestic brand


Why This Matters to You


When you choose tariff-proof flooring, you avoid:

  • Unpredictable material cost increases

  • Change orders mid-project

  • Project delays due to customs or shortages


Whether you're designing a retail space, warehouse, hospital, or commercial kitchen, polished concrete and domestic epoxy offer peace of mind.


Who Should Care?


These industries benefit most from tariff-free flooring options:

  • Retail – Quick installs, clean finishes

  • Warehouses – High durability under forklifts

  • Food Processing – Sanitary, slip-resistant coatings

  • Healthcare – Seamless and hygienic

  • Education & Government – Budget-conscious, long-lasting


Pro Tip: Tariff-Proof = Future-Proof


In a construction landscape full of unpredictability, choosing flooring that sidesteps global risks is one of the smartest choices you can make.
