Common questions about industrial epoxy flooring

What is industrial epoxy flooring?

Epoxy is a mixture of liquid resin and hardener which used to cover industrial flooring. When it hardens, it bonds to the base layer, for example concrete, and forms a rigid, protective surface that’s strong enough to cope with most service conditions, making industrial epoxy flooring the perfect solution.

How long will an epoxy floor last?

It does depend on the type of floor traffic, how much wear and tear it gets and how well it is maintained, but our epoxy flooring has the potential to last 10-20 years.

What are the benefits of epoxy flooring?

The benefits of epoxy flooring are numerous. It’s a very cost-effective solution that can be applied over the top of your current flooring, including tiles, saving the expense and disruption involved in removing any existing flooring beforehand. It can also be installed quickly, meaning minimal disruption to the business. Epoxy flooring is also hard wearing and durable, and it is resistant to water damage, stains, chemicals, scratches and impacts. It’s hygienic and easy to clean, making it ideal for food preparation areas, pharmaceutical manufacturers and hospitals.

Do epoxy floors damage easily?

No, quite the opposite! They’re extremely hard wearing and have been designed to withstand heavy traffic and impacts, so they don’t dent, scratch or get damaged by hot liquids and chemical spills.

How does epoxy flooring compare with concrete flooring?
