EPOXY FLOORING
Epoxy Flooring is the fully cured end result of usually two components – a polyepoxide resin and a curative – that chemically bond together. When mixed and applied properly, the resulting chemical reaction creates a very hard surface and very strong bond.
Epoxy is most commonly used to coat concrete floors. The process of preparing a floor for an epoxy coating is equally as important as the installation process.
Here are the most important aspects of preparing a floor for coating:
- Testing for moisture, harmful chemicals, and oil deposits
- Possibly removing old floor coatings
- Repairing the surface
- Cleaning the floor prior to the mechanical surface preparation
Some of the benefits of Epoxy Flooring are:
- It is highly durable i.e. it not only holds up under heavy foot traffic, but it also resists damage from abrasions and impacts.
- Epoxy is one of the longest lasting floor coatings available.
- It is seamless and easy to clean. Mop and light detergent for easy maintenance.
- It is also aesthetically appealing i.e. available in any color. Able to create any pattern or design with color and design which makes it attractive and customisable.
- Slip resistant. Epoxies can have anti slip additives to create a grip and non-slip surface.
- Low VOC – Epoxy coatings can be low or No VOC’s for environmentally friendly coatings.
- Fast curing and customizable curing times for cold or hot applications.
- Cost effective. Large areas can be coated for a reasonable cost and overall long term solution.
