“Dreaming of an Epoxy floor that’s both stunning and resilient? Epoxy flooring might be your dream come true”
But with so many other flooring options on the market, it’s natural to wonder: is epoxy the right choice for my space?
Epoxy’s Big Strengths: Extreme Durability in High-Traffic Areas
The true beauty of epoxy flooring lies in its durability in high-traffic areas with concrete or wood subfloors. Here’s why it performs other flooring types in these spaces:
- Durability: Epoxy creates a tough, almost impenetrable surface that resists scratches, stains, and even moderate impact. Perfect for busy garages, workshops, and retail stores where heavy foot traffic or equipment might otherwise leave their mark.
- Easy Maintenance: Spills? No sweat! Epoxy floors are a dream to clean. A simple mop and mild detergent keep them looking their best, year after year.
- Moisture Resistance: Epoxy repels moisture, making it a great choice for basements or areas prone to occasional spills, as well as being moisture resistant “no mildew”
- Aesthetics: Let’s not forget the wow factor! Epoxy comes in a vast array of colors, finishes, and even decorative flakes, allowing you to create a truly unique and eye-catching floor. Make your neighbors jealous or wow your customers
- Anti Slip: Epoxy floors are traditionally non slip, adding another benefit to any epoxy floor in your home or business
Beyond the Garage: Epoxy’s Versatility Is Unmatched!
While epoxy excels in high-traffic areas, its benefits extend far beyond the garage:
- Kitchens: Say goodbye to stubborn grease stains! Epoxy’s seamless surface makes cleaning kitchen mishaps a breeze. It is also mildew resistant as well as easy to clean
- Retail Stores: Create a welcoming and upscale atmosphere for your customers with a beautiful, easy-to-maintain epoxy floor. Be proud of your space when your clients walk in, the first thing they will see is your pride in the look of your lobby
- Basements: Transform your basement into a functional and stylish space with a durable and moisture-resistant epoxy floor. Stop replacing that moldy carpet and spending way more than an epoxy floor would be
Considering Epoxy? Here’s What to Remember Before Your Floor Is Ruined!
While epoxy offers a multitude of benefits, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Here are some things to consider before taking the plunge:
- Subfloor: Epoxy requires a smooth, clean concrete subfloor for optimal adhesion. More patching means more materials, labor which equals more $
- DIY vs. Professional Installation: For smaller areas and simpler designs, DIY might be an option. However, for larger areas or intricate finishes, professional installation ensures a flawless outcome. Diy floors are also simply very thin coatings and usually will not hold up, thus you will by spending more money by always having to re do the epoxy floor.
- Big box “epoxy kits” will be around 3 mils thick, a good epoxy floor will be at least 10 times that
- Curing Time: Epoxy needs time to fully cure before it can be used. Plan accordingly to avoid any disruptions. At least 72 hours and longer in many cases
