Today’s post gets downright quick with the top benefits of epoxy garage flooring. There are six to know.
Resistance
Resistance is an essential factor to floors, especially those found inside garages. Think of the activities you do in these spaces. Garage guys and gals work with heavy metal tools and other devices that when they accidentally slip format he handed would hot hard on the concrete surface.
There are three types of resistance that you need for garage floors.
- Impact resistance
- Stain resistance
- Moisture or water resistances
Epoxy makes the flooring resist impacts from hard-hitting objects. WIthout a resin coating, minor chipping would soon grow into large problematic cracks.
Oil and grease are regular on the garage floors, and sometimes you would not have enough time to check and clean up the surface. The smooth finish of the garage floors makes it easy for someone to wipe the stains off the floor so quickly. This also leads to having less water presence on the surface.
Epoxy acts as a self-leveling surface covering the porous cement to prevent moisture and liquid from leaking inside the slabs.
Durability
Mentioning resistance is enough to describe the full functions of epoxy. But that’s only the surface. To understand durability, you have to consider other factors.
There are two aspects of durability
- Expected lifespan
- Performance under extreme conditions
Concrete is a naturally durable material. It withstands different conditions on the indoor floors, makes concrete the regular choice for creating outdoor spaces, indoor extensions as patios, and busy areas like the garage and commercial spaces.
Go back now to the two factors listed above. Epoxy meets both of these requirements.
Non-slip
The smooth finish of epoxy flooring may deceive you as slippery floors. But the truth is it’s the opposite. At the same time, the surface seems to reflect how it works to make concrete surface slip resistance. The epoxy coating adheres to the surface and provides a dense layer that prevents moisture and water.
Cost-Effective
Appearance
Nothing else can uplift the floor’s appearance than epoxy. The base of the material is a clear resin compound. Adding paint chips, vinyl, coloring, and other additives result in various designs, patterns, and styles. Add to that is the material’s user-friendly approach. So the installer using it can achieve any creative idea they have.
Safety
Lastly, epoxy has a lot of safety features. While it protects the concrete as the flooring material, insulated concrete gives you your homes’ safety.
With resistant and durable flooring, you can keep the foundations in your properties in good condition. You get to provide non-slip floors to prevent slipping and tripping accidents.
In addition, epoxy floors provide safety to your hygiene and health. The floors coated with resin will have their porous cement covered up so no microbes will not breed within the slabs. Epoxy makes the best choice for flooring material among hospitals and food labs.
