What is Epoxy Flooring?

These floors have been coated in an epoxy resin — a combination of resin, polymers, and hardeners that creates a highly durable surface for epoxy floors. Upon application, this resin forms a chemical bond with your floor. Not only does this make the flooring incredibly strong, but it’s also resistant to degradation. This means it’s ideal for high-traffic areas, from school corridors to garage floors. There are two kinds of epoxy flooring: 

•            

Generally, anything referred to as an ‘epoxy floor’ will have at least a 2mm thick coating

•            

If your coating is less than 2mm thick, it’s often known as epoxy paint instead

What are the Benefits of Epoxy Flooring? 

Whether you choose floors or paint, this material is an excellent choice for all properties. We recommend this flooring solution for anybody who’s looking to boost the look of their floors while achieving the following benefits of epoxy:

Epoxy Flooring Safety Features

Epoxy flooring promises several key safety benefits. One of the most important is that epoxy floors resin is slip-resistant, preventing any accidents from occurring. If your floors are currently paved in concrete, slip-and-falls can end in disaster. By coating them with epoxy paint, you can help keep your family, customers, or clientele safe. The material is also shock-proof and resistant to static. This is particularly beneficial in hospitals or factories, where an electronic charge could interfere with vital equipment. 

The Durability of Epoxy Flooring

As we mentioned earlier, our resin forms a chemical bond with your floor, resulting in a super-durable surface. It’s highly resistant to everyday wear and tear, whether you’re expecting heavy machinery, cars, or hundreds of people to walk over it daily. The epoxy floor coating paint can also be resistant to spilt chemicals, scratches, and scuffs. This helps to preserve your epoxy floor coating look over time, maintaining a fresh appearance long after it has been installed.  

Decorative Nature of Epoxy Flooring

Are you bored with your bare concrete floors? Our range of flooring is available in a range of fun finishes, colours, and designs, making it easy for you to achieve the look you want without

compromising on functionality. Because the epoxy resin is installed while it’s still wet, this is a seamless flooring solution. Unlike tiles or linoleum, this means you won’t see any seam lines that could split up the appearance of your chosen design.  

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance for Epoxy Flooring 

The floor is effortless to maintain. Once it has thoroughly dried, the resin isn’t porous so it won’t absorb your water or cleaning materials. As a result, it’s quick and easy to keep clean, making it a perfect choice for buildings that require regular scrubbing. Thanks to their chemical resistance, you can also regularly disinfect your epoxy floors if they’re in a communal building. However, the best cleaning materials will depend on the type of paint or resin you choose, so feel free to chat with one of our experts if you have any questions. 

Long Term Cost Savings

Because our epoxy floor resin is durable and low maintenance, it can help you make long-term cost savings. Not only is this epoxy floor coatings cheaper than tile when you purchase it outright, but it’s also a much more cost-effective solution over time. This is because tile doesn’t have as high a level of resistance to wear and tear and may need replacing more quickly. Epoxy paint is also a great solution as we can install it directly on top of your existing floor. This saves you from covering the cost of floor removal, which can be an inconvenient and expensive process. 

Epoxy Flooring Reflects the Light

Whether you’re decorating an underground garage or a hospital corridor, epoxy floor resin is an excellent way to brighten things up. Research suggests that high-gloss epoxy flooring can boost the floor brightness of an area by up to 300%, helping to create a light and airy feel when using epoxy floor coatings.
