Epoxy coating for floors is becoming more popular for residential and industrial use as it is extremely strong and durable and comes in a variety of types and colors to suit any application. It is a unique and fun way to add a completely different look to any space or as a practical way of sealing flooring for industrial use with many years of durability. It is ideal for use on regular, untreated cement floors that are prone to cracks and stains, leaving them unsafe as well as unpleasant to look at. With Epoxy Floor Coatings you can completely transform a floor that will last for many years with very little maintenance. Epoxy has the ability to bond with concrete, providing a resistant, 100% non-volatile surface that will protect the floor from abrasions and stains and withstand heavy wear and tear for anything from five to ten years.
Benefits of Epoxy Floor Coatings by Epoxy Floor Coatings
Saving Costs
Floor resurfacing can transform virtually any type of concrete or other flooring surfaces. Quality epoxy products allow floors to be resurfaced in hours compared to days, weeks or months needed to replace and cure new flooring. By avoiding the high cost of replacing existing substructures, a lot of time and money can be saved.
Safety
A slip-resistant coating can provide a safer environment in any situation and cover cracks that could cause injury. A slip-resistant epoxy option is ideal for hospitals, industrial buildings, doctor’s offices, or anywhere where workers are exposed to slip and fall risks.
Aesthetics
An epoxy coating will cover dirty and unappealing flooring by hiding stains and worn surfaces where aggregate is showing. Different types of epoxy systems can create a variety of decorative surfaces that are not only beautiful but can be used to enhance the image of any business environment, for example by incorporating a company logo or other decorative touches into the flooring. With epoxy coatings, nearly unlimited combinations of colors and designs can be created to suit any type of application.
Durability
An epoxy coated floor is extremely durable and can last for many years even in areas with very high foot traffic or the use of heavy machinery.
Low Maintenance
Epoxy coatings require very low maintenance as they are easy to keep clean and repairs are quick and easy to carry out should damage occur.
Easy Installation
Because there is no digging up of the existing substrate, this type of flooring is incredibly easy to install. It can simply be poured on top of existing flooring with little time to cure before use.
Excellent ROI
Any type of renovation is beneficial to the resale value of a property. An epoxy overlay for flooring is a worthwhile investment that will be taken into account when it comes to the resale of any kind of property, whether residential or commercial.

Epoxy coating is one of the most durable and flexible types of floor resurfacing options available for residential and industrial use. It comes in a variety of types and colors and Epoxy Floor Coatings can help any home or business have better looking and safer flooring with unique and customized epoxy coatings. Although epoxy coatings can be installed by using DIY epoxy coating kits, the quality of the ingredients are much lower than those found in professional-grade products and if the mixture is not prepared correctly the cementitious overlay will not bond properly. Professionals have the necessary experience and tools required to prepare and apply epoxy coatings correctly with guaranteed results.
