If you are looking for the best flooring solution for your home, and want to find another solution instead of traditional terrazzo, wood or ceramic tiles surfaces, you might consider investing in epoxy flooring.

These types of floors are widely used in commercial and residential properties, and if you question whether it is a good choice for your home – it is for sure. If you are still not sure about that, we will explain the pros and cons so you could decide on your own.

We will start with a brief list of advantages that comes along:

  1. Durability

This one of the biggest advantages of epoxy, and maybe one of the most long-lasting solutions available on the market. They are more durable than wood, tiles and other types of floors, and besides that, they are resistant to stains, scratches and chemicals. So even if you like to change the order of your furniture often, you can be sure that will leave no marks. 

Also, different top coatings can enhance its durability and make them much stronger than the basic layer of epoxy. 

  1. Increased Safety

Thanks to the different types of top coatings that can be applied, you can rest assured that your epoxy will not be slippery at all. Besides this, depending on the type of finishes you choose, your epoxy can become fire and heat-resistant too. This means that you will have a floor that will look beautiful and improve safety in our home at the same time. 

  1. Easy to Clean

If you are tired of spending hours cleaning your floor and trying to make it shiny, then epoxy is an excellent choice for you. It is very easy to clean, and you can be sure that even if you use only mop and water, your resin floor will be perfectly clean. This type of flooring does not absorb spills, so there is no need to use chemicals or to scrub hard to remove stains. Mopping once a week will be enough to keep your floors clean and tidy all the time. 

  1. Environmentally Friendly

The awareness of pollution materials that surround us and affect our health and environment are rising, and people are more and more focused on choosing eco-friendly products that will improve the quality of their living. That is exactly what epoxy flooring represents – an eco-friendly solution that does not contain toxic pollutants. Investing in one means that you will safeguard the environment, and at the same time protect your health. 

  1. Available in Multiple Designs and Styles

No matter if you prefer a stylish or modern interior, the epoxy comes in various colours and patterns so there is no doubt that it will fit your home perfectly. It can be plain or decorative, and you will be able to choose the style you prefer. To meet our expectations, flooring experts are using different types: self-levelling, gravelled, terrazzo, as well as vapour barrier flooring. In case you cannot decide which one to choose, or want to see samples of different epoxy floors, the specialists from Diamond Grind are at your disposal.

  1. It Can Be Restored

Even if the damages appear over time, you can relax knowing that it can be easily restored. You will need help from a professional company, who will remove the damaged layer of resin, fill in gaps and scratches, and then apply new top-coating that will make your floor seamless again. 

What About the Cons?

We didn’t forget that we promised a list of the pros and cons at the beginning of this article. After a long list of advantages, you are probably asking yourself where the cons are. Well, the most interesting thing about epoxy is that it has many advantages, but only a few disadvantages and one of them is that it cannot properly adhere in moist areas like basements.

Luckily, this problem can be easily resolved by drying and preparing the surface before the application process of the epoxy coating begins. Because of that, it is very important to seek a company who provides professional flooring preparation and installation, instead of trying out different DIY solutions.
