Are Epoxy Floors Right for You?

Do you want a floor that is strong, durable, attractive, and easy to maintain? Epoxy flooring is your ideal solution for transforming your boring and dusty concrete floors.

What is Epoxy Flooring?

Epoxy flooring is a surface that is made up of multiple layers of epoxy that is at least two millimeters thick. There are two main components, resins and hardeners. When they are mixed, they create an exothermic curing process, which produces polymer structures that densely cross-linked. Because it bonds to a well prepared surface, it provides strength and durability. 

It is quick and easy to apply an epoxy coating to new or old concrete floors. Not only will the epoxy protect the floors, it makes them functional and beautiful.

Benefits of Epoxy Flooring?

  • Attractive: Epoxy will cover imperfections, like small cracks or stains. You can choose from a wide variety of colors and decorative patterns. Add a blend of color flakes to make it even more beautiful.

  • Durable: Unlike paint, epoxy needs to cure. You should wait at least 24 hours before walking or placing furniture on the floor. You should wait at least 7 days before driving a car onto the floor. Your patience will be rewarded because epoxy flooring will last for many years to come! It is resilient to impacts, chipping, stains, chemicals, and surface abrasions.

  • Easy Maintenance: Most dust in a garage is created from the powder that is released from cement floors. Since the epoxy is a topical sealer, the floor will no longer create dust. Epoxy floors are also moisture resistant and seamless. Simply use a dust mop when dry and mop with mild soap and water as needed.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Little to no chemicals are used to clean it, simply clean with mild soap and water. If a bright hue is chosen, epoxy floors can improve the brightness of a room or area by up to 300% - this reduces the number of lights that need to be used, which results in lower electric costs.

Epoxy flooring can be used for residential and commercial projects. Homeowners can transform their bland and boring garage or basement floors to make a more attractive and usable space.

Car dealerships will stand out from the competition by enhancing their showroom floors. Automotive repair shops can apply epoxy flooring to both the lobby and garage floors, making the shop more appealing to customers yet durable for the mechanics. Since epoxy floors are seamless and chemically resistant, they are ideal for hair salons as well.
