What is epoxy flooring made of?

Typically, epoxy flooring is made up of a mixture of two substances – epoxy resin with either water or solvent. Together, these two substances form the perfect consistency for the tough, durable flooring that owners and occupiers have come to love.

If you prefer, you can even have the resin applied in its 100% solid epoxy form, or as a pre-tinted or metallic coating, but note that these options are often more technically difficult than the former and require professional installation.

Polyurethane Cement is another type of floor solution very suited for industrial and heavy duty locations like distilleries or high traffic areas like restaurant kitchens.

Where can you use epoxy flooring?

The applications of epoxy flooring are practically limitless thanks to its toughness and non-slip finish. Epoxy is commonly found across a range of commercial and residential locations and anywhere that needs safe, clean flooring – from factory and office floors to hospitals and bathrooms.

Even though the stereotypical view of hospitals and offices is limited to standard shades of white and grey, epoxy opens up a world of possibility in terms of colour and style, and can be used to brighten a residential or business space from the ground up. As the ideal answer to the ask for “professional, stable” flooring, epoxy is bound to suit your business needs – and more importantly, your health and safety requirements. It may be popular in childcare centres and retirement homes (and for good reason), but it’s versatile enough to make a positive addition to just about any space where flooring is needed.

What are some advantages of epoxy flooring?

There are plenty of great things about epoxy flooring, and it’s not just about that smooth finish! Perhaps the most impressive benefit is the super strength of this formula, owing to its chemical compound composition. With this on your floors, you won’t have to worry about shock, heat, or collisions with heavy objects (up to 10,000 pounds of pressure per square inch), which is perfect for industrial spaces.

Plus, its strength makes epoxy a true long-term flooring investment as it won’t wear out or break down anywhere near as quickly as softer flooring options, like carpet. With an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years, it outlasts most businesses for longevity, and if you ever decide you want to switch to another covering option, it even comes with the added bonus of a simple removal process.
