Feel free to contact your local epoxy flooring contractors for flooring ideas
Durability
It’s no question that epoxy floor coatings are tough, but epoxy’s durability is one that can’t be beaten. Epoxy floor coatings are meant to last for 20 years or more with proper care. They are resilient when it comes to heavy machinery, high foot traffic, and won’t crack or chip if you drop something heavy on it. Epoxy floor coatings are resistant to heat, shock, water, and other chemicals only solidifying its durability.
Protection
Epoxy is a floor coating applied over concrete. When it is applied it acts as a shield to the underlying concrete making it stronger. This coating is stain resistant so no spills will ever penetrate the surface. Because epoxy makes the underlying concrete stronger, this protective barrier ensures that the underlying concrete won’t crack and will leave you with a flooring option that you can trust to last you for years to come.
Maintenance
Traditional concrete floors can be a hassle to clean. They chip, crack, and even worse- collect dust. That dust collects in all cracks and crevices making it seem impossible to clean, but epoxy flooring is seamless, making cleanup a breeze. There’s no wrong way to go about cleaning your epoxy floor coating whether you prefer broom, mop, dust mop, or vacuum. Epoxy floor coatings are resistant to chemicals so whether you want to use your favorite cleaner or simply just some warm water, it will get the job done. Furthermore, epoxy floor coatings can be a very sanitary flooring choice. Because of its seamless design and easy cleanup, dirt, grime, and bacteria have nowhere to go so this easy maintenance not only keeps it clean but safe.
Cost-Effective
While at first glance epoxy floor coatings may seem like they may break the bank, they are actually more cost-effective than other traditional flooring options. All added together from the flooring removal, cost of tile or vinyl, and of course installation fees can make it seem like the price has no end. Then bring in the upkeep and maintenance of tile floors, refinishing wood floors, or replacing the vinyl when it begins to come up, it just makes sense to go with epoxy floor coatings. The price may seem out of reach at first, but this is an investment to your home that will not only be the best option but will increase the value of your home! Epoxy is easily maintained and is meant to last for 20 or more years and if something arises that it needs to be repaired, repairs are often quick and painless to both you and your wallet. Having this flooring professionally installed is a great investment to your home to ensure it is done right to last you for many years to come.
Beauty
Epoxy floor coatings are beautiful. There are many different options to choose from with styles and colors, but the overall beauty of this flooring choice makes it stunning no matter which choice you make. Epoxy floor coatings can bring your home a sense of elegance and sophistication all while being a durable floor choice. You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for strength which is important to many homeowners. Whether you want decorative flakes for a unique look with all your favorite colors or a metallic floor that reminds you of beautiful pearls, this flooring will deliver your vision to you.
