A Guide To Epoxy Flooring

Epoxy floors are made with multiple layers of synthetic resin that are laid on top of concrete substances. These several layers are either coated or troweled or poured. Other than for aesthetics, the layering is so your epoxy floors will have a form of protection. Because once the resin layers have cured, a strong and permanent bond is formed that acts as a barrier to protect the substrate.

Types of Epoxy Floors

Epoxy floors are customizable into a range of colors, effects, styles, and other decorative options. There are also different categories of epoxy floors that depend on their applications.

Terrazzo Epoxy Floor

This type of epoxy floor results in a colorful, decorative, durable, and seamless surface. For the terrazzo epoxy floor installation, we mix colored epoxy and aggregates such as marble, glass, granite, or mother of pearl. Once the mixture has been set, the flooring is grounded and polished. This is so that the aggregate used will be exposed and the epoxy floor will have a smooth, decorative finish.

Terrazzo epoxy floors are durable and could last for more than 40 years. They also only require simple maintenance. With this, terrazzo epoxy floors are ideal for commercial spaces.

Flake Coating Epoxy Floor

Flake coating epoxy floor installation is done by scattering varying sizes of flakes over the colored epoxy base. It is then followed by a layer of tough-resistant clear sealer.

Flake-coating epoxy floors are easy to clean and have good resistance to foot traffic and chemicals. With this, flake-coating epoxy floors are ideal for commercial spaces such as shops, restaurants, schools, and showrooms.

Epoxy Floor Coating

Epoxy floor coatings are also referred to as epoxy floor paint as they generally come in only a uniform, single color with either matte or satin, or glossy finishing.

Epoxy floor coatings are also very much ideal for commercial spaces or industrial venues that have light to medium levels of activity.

Self-Leveling Epoxy Floor

Self-leveling epoxy floor installation is done through the layering of self-smoothing properties. During installation, self-leveling epoxy floors are applied one to three millimeters from the substrate and applied in liquid form. As a result, they provide a strong, durable surface. With this, self-leveling epoxy floors are ideal for heavy-duty demanding environments.

Antistatic Epoxy Floor

Antistatic epoxy floors are made to safely transfer static charge to defined earthing points. This makes them suitable for environments that contain sensitive equipment or explosive content such as laboratories and processing facilities.

Screed Epoxy Floor

Screed epoxy floors are a thicker type of epoxy flooring as it is usually four to six millimeters in thickness. Screed epoxy floor installation is generally done by applying a trowel followed by power floating to achieve a smooth and level finish.

With their thickness, screed epoxy floors are ideal for manufacturing and processing facilities.
