Epoxy flooring has been, and continues to be, a popular flooring choice for commercial, industrial, and residential applications, due to its durability, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness. With so many potential uses, it’s no surprise that there are dozens of epoxy flooring options and features – and with so many choices, chances are there is one that is just right for your space.
1. Self-Leveling Epoxy Flooring
One of the biggest benefits of epoxy flooring over other types of flooring, is that the resin allows for some degree of variance in the concrete sub floor. While tile or wood require a floor that is completely level, epoxy has self-leveling properties that can correct mild to moderate unevenness, leaving a smooth, seamless surface.
2. Mortar Epoxy Flooring
This is the most durable type of epoxy flooring. Made up of a combination of 100% epoxy resin and graded or quartz sand, this type of epoxy is highly chemical and impact resistant, making it a good choice for high traffic areas, such as industrial warehouses or commercial kitchens. In addition to its durability, mortar epoxy can also be used to repair chips and cracks, helping to reduce installation costs.
3. Self-Dispersing Epoxy Flooring
Commonly used in areas frequently trafficked by heavy machinery, or in areas where liquid spills are common. This type of epoxy flooring is able to withstand heavy traffic and also has anti-slip properties for increased traction.
4. Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring
This specialized epoxy flooring is specifically designed to absorb and dissipate static electricity in environments that require a static-free setting for production and safety purposes, such as medical laboratories and electronics manufacturing facilities.
5. Quartz-Filled Epoxy Flooring
Quartz grains are a multifaceted addition to a typical epoxy resin. Not only do they add a decorative feature to the epoxy flooring, but they also add a degree of durability, making it a great option for areas such as gym locker rooms, restrooms, and showrooms.
6. Graved Epoxy Flooring
This type of embellished epoxy flooring allows for a high degree of customization for business that want to include decorative details, or logos to their epoxy flooring. It can be used alone, or in combination with types of decorative finishes.
7. Flaked Epoxy Flooring
Another type of decorative epoxy flooring, coloured flakes can be added to the epoxy resin for a custom designed finished. Use them alone or in combination with a coloured tint for a one of a kind finish.
