Advantages Of Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy floor coatings extend general service life. It stands up to the constant stresses of light foot traffic and heavy equipment loads during daily operations. The new layer of protective coating is as solid and durable as the subfloor minimizes and relieves cracking or sinking.
Easy to clean and maintain. Thus the only routine maintenance required is a once-a-week water wiping or swabbing. In addition, the epoxy coating increases abrasion and chemical resistance.
Ability to coat multiple times and build thickness by adding aggregate (sand, quartz, paint chips)
Usually much thicker ~30 mils vs. traditional coatings 3-5 mils
Highly durable, high gloss
How Long Will Epoxy Floors Last?
Epoxy systems have high-impact strength and are abrasion-resistant. So you could hear from some installers refer to epoxy as “a coating for life”. But, unfortunately, this is a kind of false advert, due to many weaknesses of Epoxy Flooring.
In the case of residential, some epoxy coatings have been known to last for 20 years. However, this is not valid for commercial spaces, where it’s subject to much higher rates of foot and vehicular traffic and accidents and spills. In addition, all kinds of loadings can wear epoxy down much faster.
For this very reason, most commercial applications of Polished Concrete Floor last between 5 to 10 years, though they last even longer.
What Is Quartz Carpet Floor?
Terrazzo Floor consists of built-up layers of epoxy and colored quartz sand. Thus due to the heavy layer of quartz and solvent-based epoxy, impact resistance is more remarkable than paints. Furthermore, its colored pattern helps maintain a clean look and hide all dirt and debris. Typical applications include parking decks and car garage floors. A contractor can apply quartz floors 32 – 128 mils thick.
