Commercial flooring in retail spaces like shops, gyms, cafes, and restaurants needs to check a lot of boxes. It needs to be robust enough to withstand constant foot traffic, durable and easy to clean, and, of course, it needs to look great. That's a tall order to fill, but luckily, commercial epoxy flooring fits the bill.
Unsurprisingly, many businesses in Vancouver are already using commercial epoxy flooring, and here's why.
Epoxy Flooring is Ideal for High Traffic Areas
One of the best aspects of installing an epoxy floor in your retail space it's virtually indestructible. Epoxy flooring is not only able to withstand heavy foot traffic and machinery, but it is also impermeable (perfect for Vancouver's wet weather), scratch-resistant, and installs seamlessly, so you never have to worry about customer safety. If that wasn't enough, additives can be included in the epoxy mix to make your flooring even more slip- and skid-resistant.
It's Easy to Care for an Epoxy Floor
Epoxy flooring may just be the lowest maintenance part of owning a business. Dirt and dust won't stick to an epoxy floor the way they might with other flooring types, and there are no special cleaning products to buy; washing can be done quickly with just a damp mop.
A seamless finish and antibacterial properties also make commercial epoxy flooring the perfect choice for restaurants, spas, salons, and gyms, where cleanliness and hygiene are top priorities.
Epoxy Flooring is Cost and Time Effective
Prolonged closures, expensive flooring, and costly repairs are things no business wants to have to deal with. Epoxy flooring is a good solution on all counts. Epoxy is quick to install, and while times will vary based on the space, epoxy resins are designed to cure fast, which means less downtime for your business.
Epoxy flooring is also less expensive than most other types of commercial-grade flooring and can last 20 plus years with little regular maintenance.
You Can Customize Your Epoxy Floor
With traditional flooring options, customization can be pricey. However, with commercial epoxy flooring, you can incorporate your business logo or unique design features for a fraction of the cost. Not only can your installer include a wide variety of features into your flooring design, but the colour, texture and finish are also customizable. In short, whatever you envision for your space is possible with a commercial epoxy floor.
Not Only for Floors
Not only is epoxy resin a versatile flooring material, but it can also be used in a number of other commercial applications.
Restaurants can use epoxy as a tabletop; its antimicrobial properties make it a safe choice, and customization means the design can be made to match any aesthetic. In retail shops, epoxy can be used as part of the displays or counter, and in gyms or workout studios, epoxy can be used to create designated zones.
