What Is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a tough surface covering that’s applied as a liquid compound. The epoxy consists of two synthetic products – a resin and a hardener. Once mixed together, these react to create a solid, durable floor covering.
What Types Of Epoxy Flooring Are There?
There are half-a-dozen or so different chemical compounds that are used to make epoxy flooring. Each has slightly different characteristics. For example, Aliphatic epoxy resins are extremely weather-resistant, whereas Novolac resins don’t produce VOCs. As part of our service, we will recommend an epoxy flooring system that’s designed to meet your operational requirements.

If correctly applied, an epoxy floor will last literally decades, even in challenging environments.
Not only does the epoxy cure to create a very hard floor covering that won’t deteriorate easily, even under heavy traffic, but epoxy is also waterproof, resistant to UV deterioration, immune to temperature changes, resistant to biological contaminants and resistant to oil and most common chemicals.

Can Epoxy Flooring Solve A Damp Problem?
Epoxy flooring is waterproof, but won’t stop the underlying source of the damp. If your concrete floor is damp, epoxy prevents interior evaporation, but the concrete will remain damp until the source of the dampness is located and eliminated.
