More Information

Epoxy is a mixture of resin and hardener that when combined chemically react to form a rigid plastic-like material. It resists degradation and bonds well to substrate materials. Epoxy flooring is often used as a coating over concrete floors which are rough, porous, and anti-shock resistant. Epoxy withstands rugged wear and tear in industrial settings. It is slip-resistant, which is ideal for commercial uses.

The durability and versatility of various colors and patterns makes epoxy coatings ideal for commercial and retail flooring. Epoxy flooring offers a resistance for diverse customer bases such as children, elderly, and wheelchair-bound citizens in which foot traffic requires wear-resistant flooring. The flooring in a commercial space needs to be not only durable but safe in order to prevent customers from falling and slipping. Epoxy flooring is stain, scuff, and scratch-resistant and can be topped with a slip-resistant texture to further improve safety. The flooring creates an ambient look and requires minimal nightly cleaning maintenance.

Because of machinery, foot traffic, and potential spills and stains, the only realistic industrial flooring options are concrete or epoxy. Concrete is hard, slippery, bland in appearance, easily stains, and porous allowing moisture to be absorbed into the floor. Unlike concrete, epoxy is slip-resistant, glossy and attractive, resistant to stains, sealed from moisture and easy to clean due to its resin compound. Epoxy coating is self-leveling which creates a smooth surface, important in an industrial setting where forklift trucks should avoid crevices and machinery must be leveled.
