General Information Regarding Epoxy Flooring Many types of epoxy flooring are available, each with their own characteristics. The kind that is installed is often based on the space that it is in. In addition to flooring, there are also epoxy floor coatings available. Coatings are specially designed and installed. They are installed to resist against wear and harsh chemicals. Numerous designs, ranging from decorative to functional, are available to property owners. Flooring systems are used to cover the floor in most warehouses, and dry-use and storing facilities. This is because the floor allows for unparalleled protection. The substrate design of a space, whether wood or concrete, does not matter. This kind of floor is known to work in various settings. There are several styles of epoxy on the market: self-dispersing, self-leveling, mortar, graveled, terrazzo and antistatic. Likewise, these floors are installed in many environments. The various styles can be found in areas where heavy trucks and forklifts are used, kitchens, storage places, dining rooms, repair shops, public buildings, schools, labs, hospitals, equipment manufacturing facilities and more. There are five main reasons this style of floor is preferred by many. The protection it offers guards the substrate from fluid spills, including brake fluid, paint thinner, anti-freeze, gas, battery acid, diesel fuel, kerosene and other similar products. It cannot be penetrated by such spills, which is ideal in most settings. Another perk is how easy it is to clean. Minimal effort is needed, regardless of the time that passes between each clean up. Epoxy flooring has aesthetic appeal. Not only is it functional, but it also adds to the overall appearance of spaces. These systems are designed to be durable. The floor can withstand day-to-day use, chemical attack, thermal shock, and impact. It has both flexural and compressive strength. This option is also cost effective. It is recommended that owners invest in a product that is reliable and find a trustworthy and skilled company to do the install. Costs will vary. The company offering the services should have a good reputation, and detailed information and photos about the services it offers.
