1. Expoxy Floor Coating
What is an epoxy floor coating?
An epoxy floor coating is a flooring solution made up of a resin, the base coat, and a polyamine hardener to help it cure properly. Commercial epoxy floor coatings are typically used on concrete floors per square foot to protect them from dirt buildup and spur chemical and wear resistance.
Long Lasting Durability
Epoxy coatings are long-lasting because their properties create water resistance, protect against chemical spills, and abrasion resistance, and can withstand heat, heavy foot traffic, and industrial machinery over time. Epoxy flooring is designed with two compounds, resin, and a hardener, that ensure its longevity. Even public places like grocery stores, retail showrooms, etc., use it to their advantage. Epoxy floors are chemical resistant compared to other options (no floor is 100% chemical resistant for chemicals that sit for longer duration).
