Epoxy is a resin flooring that is low-maintenance and easy to maintain. It is great for industrial and commercial applications, such as warehouses, parking garages, and office buildings because of its durability and safety aspects. Once applied it creates a hard covering or coating over concrete that is resistant to scratches.
What Are the Benefits of Epoxy Flooring?
Aesthetic – Epoxy floors and overlays are very customizable and you can achieve the look and feel you want in the space.
Protect Against Wear and Tear – This flooring is very durable. It is resistant to chemicals that might be present in a commercial setting. It is also resistant to gasoline and oil, making it an excellent option for garages. Epoxy flooring can bear a lot of weight, also making it a great option for industrial flooring where forklifts and other large equipment are driving on it regularly. Other types of flooring can become stained or cracked.
Easy Cleaning – Cleaning epoxy floors is as easy as using soap and a mop or spraying it down with a water hose. It does not absorb water, making it easy to clean up spills. These floors don’t require waxing or stripping like other types of flooring so it makes it a low-maintenance option.
Slip-Resistant – Adding aggregate to the epoxy mix before the application will achieve the level of slip resistance needed for your certain situation. This can help decrease the number of accidents and increase workplace safety. It also makes it a great option for parking garages because of the high foot and vehicle traffic.
Sterile Environment – Traditional flooring, such as tile, can harbor mildew, mold, and bacteria in the seams and grout. Flooring with seams can also be hard to clean when there are spills. It can be difficult to remove the contaminants without harsh chemicals. Making sure the floors are clean can protect the occupants of the building, especially if your business is in the food or healthcare industry. Epoxy flooring creates a waterproof seal over the concrete so mold and other harmful substances can’t live or grow.
