Epoxy flooring is a way of sealing and protecting concrete floors. An epoxy coating can prolong the life of your floor, and also achieve a great look. An epoxy floor is created when a protective resin is applied over the top of an existing concrete slab. This epoxy resin is clear, and will create a glossy but non-slip surface. These kinds of resins are often used over specialist flooring like terrazzo or marble.

Epoxy is a hard and durable material, which is why it is well suited to flooring applications. A floor sealed with epoxy will have a long life dealing with a large amount of traffic. Epoxy is also waterproof and dust proof, meaning that cleaning a sealed floor is quick and easy.

Epoxy Flooring: Every Designer's Dream

​Commonly found in garages and basements, epoxy is a combined chemical that consists of a resin and a hardener which, once dry, produces a tough, long-lasting coating. In addition to being strong, this coating is impenetrable to oil and is slip-resistant, making it an excellent product to use on flooring in a heavy-traffic area. However, the industrial world isn't the only place where epoxy flooring is hailed. Within the design industry, epoxy is recognized as being more than just a way to protect a floor. It's also viewed as an extremely versatile product, capable of transforming a ho-hum area into a show-stopping work of art. So, even if you don't need an industrial strength floor, you might consider getting epoxy flooring for its aesthetic appeal.

Part of the interest designers have in epoxy flooring is that once completely dry, the floor will present a high, glossy shine. Although this gloss is common to any epoxy brand, many companies achieve this look by putting an additional topcoat over the standard epoxy mix. Fortunately, with some companies, that's not necessary. All of their epoxy mixes contain a built-in UV inhibitor -the ingredient necessary to produce long lasting sheen. This gives the buyer a professional shine without the added work.

Picture
Another reason that epoxy flooring is on a short list for designers is that it can be easily personalized. The two chemicals that are mixed together to create the epoxy are also referred to as the base coat. And, gray is no longer the only option when choosing a base coat. Now, basecoats are available in any color imaginable. This means that designers can select a color that compliments, contrasts, or highlights the space they're reinventing. The color options are only limited by the company that offers them. You are encouraged to check out the many colors at their disposal. Some sites, you'll also find an Interactive Design Tool. Here, you can view the colors and get assistance in deciding which is the right shade for your project.​

​The personalization of epoxy flooring does not stop at basecoats. In addition to choosing a floor color, buyers also have the option to enhance their floor's uniqueness with anti-slip flecks. Generally, these anti-slip agents are chips that come in various colors and are sprinkled on top of poured epoxy (prior to it curing). Anti-slip flecks are made of acrylic and provide a decorative touch to an epoxy floor. Available in a rainbow of colors, these flecks, in conjunction with the base coats, give epoxy flooring a burst of color. The Interactive Designer tool on these sites is also a great resource to match up base coats and flooring flecks.
​

If you're still apprehensive about having an epoxy floor because it sounds like a lot of work to apply, don't worry. Not only do these companies have everything you need to lay an epoxy floor, they also provide it in one neat bundle. Each of their custom-sized epoxy garage floor paint kits comes with all of the tools and materials necessary to apply the floor, and the installation process is only 3 easy steps. This ensures the customer a simple installation that produces showroom results.

Flooring is an important decision to make for the home, commercial business, or industrial sector. Every type of flooring has its benefits and its drawbacks. However, seamless epoxy flooring provides numerous benefits in a cost effective way.

Epoxy floor coating is a flooring surface made up of multiple layers of epoxy applied to the floor to a depth of less than two millimetres. Epoxy is made up of resins and hardeners. The resin and hardener are mixed together to chemically react. This forms a rigid plastic material that is strong, resistant to degradation, and which bonds extremely well to its substrate.

Epoxy floors are incredibly strong and can be used in the most demanding industrial environments as well as provide a beautiful addition to a regular trafficked floor. High grade epoxy resin is used to upgrade surfaces, obtain coloured effects, protect floors against corrosion, and achieve a water tight effect. All of these qualities provide longer durability of surfaces.

Epoxy can breathe new life into old floors. It is able to be applied to existing floors as well as new ones. The coating is a great method to makes sure commercial or shop floors will look their best and the finish will last for many years. Epoxy will protect floors with a plastic-like finish.

It comes in a variety of colours and styles. A simple, solid colour epoxy floor is perfect for industrial companies. This colour can be chosen from a standard colour palette. There is also the option of adding colour flakes and a clear coat, giving floors a showroom appearance. Materials used to make epoxy floors are stronger than concrete.

Coating used in seamless floors is UV resistant against rain and sunlight, designed to shine for years. Epoxy coating is very easy to clean and it does not pick up dust. The installation is simple and quick. It can be used in any place where flooring is required and provides a perfect finish.

Epoxy floor coating provides a sanitary and skid-proof surface even when wet. It is dust free and resistant to acids, suitable for any industry. Epoxy adheres well to surfaces made of concrete, metal, tiles, wood, and more. It has high resistance to abrasion and chemicals such as alkalis, gasoline, greases, thawing salts, and solvents. Adding coloured silica makes the floor attractive.

Attractive epoxy floors will make any area beautiful and will increase the value of the structure the floors are being installed in. Epoxy will protect and extend the life of concrete if applied over the previous concrete flooring. Epoxy floors are easy to clean and are amazingly resistant to bacteria.

Epoxy protects against oil and chemicals, meaning less dirt and dust debris will be tracked into the home or business. Epoxy provides a waterproof barrier that is resistant to mould. Radon gas emissions are reduced when choosing to install an epoxy floor. Epoxy provides a unique and durable flooring application with many customizable options and light reflectivity.

Every floor project is unique. Coating solutions will add value to the floor by making it shiny, better-looking, more efficient, and better protected. Applicators are committed to provide a personalised floor coating system and specification solutions per every flooring need.

Expert and experienced professionals will proficiently test and prepare the floor using state of the art methods. This is followed by installation of floor coatings that are suitable per each floor requirements.
There is another kind of epoxy floors called flake epoxy seamless floors. These are versatile and can be used for water-exposed surfaces. This application method offers diverse size flake and a limitless colour range with many regular colours.

These floors are personalised to suit the needs of the company. Most floor and wall surfaces can receive flake epoxy coating, including concrete, wood, bricks, tiles, metals, enamels, and bench tops.
