Top 10 Benefits of Epoxy Flooring

Floors are usually something to which we don’t pay much attention unless something is wrong with them and yet they are an essential part of workday productivity and safety. You may want to consider an alternative flooring option for your facility and its potential impact. One of these options is epoxy floor coating.

Epoxy is a material that acts as a sealant for concrete floors. Epoxy coatings can be used on floors for commercial buildings, walkways, even on walls or ceilings at times, and most commonly on garage floors. Many facilities that have already experienced the benefits of epoxy flooring are commercial or industrial buildings such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, pharmaceutical buildings, food or beverage plants, even laboratories. Here are the major benefits of installing epoxy coating in your building:

Durability

Concrete floors coated in epoxy last longer and resist considerable wear, thus saving you money and allowing you to manage other business concerns.

Strength

Once the epoxy has been converted to a solid polymer, it becomes incredibly strong and prevents chemical breakdown.

Saves time

Epoxy flooring is usually quickly and easily installed, which means less time shutting down production for installation.

Low maintenance cleaning

Once concrete has the epoxy coating, it is no longer porous since sealed and is therefore easier to clean.

Safety

These coatings are also resistant to slippage, temperature, extreme impact and even fire, maintaining both the safety of your employees and your building.

Chemically resistant

Epoxy coatings can survive continued exposure to potent chemicals, which is perfect for warehouses or plants that may be exposed to such materials.

Brightness

Typically, a high gloss option for coatings can be provided, which improves lighting in your facility to a significant degree due to reflection.

Lowers vehicle maintenance

Choosing an epoxy coating can also reduce wear on vehicles in your facility because it is more forgiving on machinery.

Aesthetic

Coatings are usually available in an array of colours and patterns to fit your specific style.

Helps the environment

Lastly, epoxy coatings are a green option for your business because of the reduction in material usage. It is a great alternative to adding on a completely new floor or replacing vehicles due to damage.
