Introduction to Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy floor systems have proven to be an advanced way of creating a very durable, moisture-resistant and storable product. Epoxy resin, specially designed to adhere to concrete subfloors, serves as the raw material for epoxy floors; while another layer of epoxy resin is sealed onto the floor, essentially creating a protective layer. Not only is epoxy flooring used in both residential/home construction and commercial businesses; however, epoxy flooring is particularly well-suited for use in manufacturing facilities and is very popular in settings that experience heavy foot traffic or high volumes of business or service activity.
Why use Epoxy Floors?
Epoxy flooring materials are significantly more durable than the traditional types of flooring materials available. Epoxy flooring does not allow for a continuous surface where dust, dirt, and bacteria can accumulate because of the lack of seams or interlocks in the epoxy flooring system. Additionally, cleaning and maintaining epoxy flooring are not very expensive long term.
One of the many major advantages of utilizing epoxy flooring is the ability to have them designed in practically any manner one could conceive, including colours, the ability of the floor to be highly glossy and polished, and the numerous textures and patterns available – lending themselves to being decorative as well as functional in any environment or use. Epoxy flooring is suited for all types of flooring needs. From a highly polished finished showroom floor to an industrial anti-slip floor.
Epoxy Flooring Advantages
Epoxy flooring has exceptional durability, with its ability to accommodate considerable weight, impact damage caused by objects falling onto the floor, and chemical spills that occur on it, making it an excellent choice for high volume foot traffic areas. On top of the safety benefits associated with the type of flooring, another major advantage of having an epoxy floor is the possibility of having anti-slip surfaces due to the reflectivity of the floor surface increasing the visibility of a worker’s surroundings thus enhancing employee safety.
The combination of fast installation and a long life span makes epoxy flooring a cost-effective flooring solution. Additionally, as a result of being installed correctly, epoxy flooring creates a clean, contemporary appearance on the floors of a space, which adds value to the overall space.
Longevity and Sustainability
Because epoxy has a long lifespan and requires fewer repairs than alternatives, epoxy flooring fits in well with sustainable building practices. The reflectivity of the epoxy surface also helps maximize the efficiency of light in buildings, while durable flooring creates minimal need for future replacement of flooring materials. Ultimately, epoxy flooring is an environmentally conscious, and cost-efficient, choice for modern commercial spaces.
