High-quality epoxy resin flooring is a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution that can enhance the aesthetics of any space. It’s available in a wide variety of colors and can be customized to incorporate designs, patterns or logos. The smooth surface is easy to clean and provides a clean, professional look that can boost productivity in commercial or industrial settings.
Epoxy Elegance: The Key Characteristics of High-Quality Resin Flooring Solutions
There are many different types of floor epoxy resin, and the best one depends on the specific usage and environment to which the coating will be exposed. For example, a garage or carport slab that receives heavy traffic will fare much better with a genuine two-part epoxy consisting of 100 percent solids than with a hybrid product advertised as “epoxy” at the local home improvement store or paint center. Hybrid products are typically water-based and include the components of a genuine epoxy (resin plus hardener/activator) but also use water as a solvent. This makes them much easier to apply, but their thinner covering will not hold up under as much wear or environmental conditions.
In addition to the type of resin, it’s important to carefully consider the concrete substrate. This is because the number one reason an epoxy coating fails is due to improper floor preparation. A poorly prepared surface will not bond to the underlying concrete and will quickly deteriorate.
