The Advantages of Epoxy Flooring
Chances are that you’ve heard the term epoxy flooring being thrown around. Why go to the trouble of coating surfaces with epoxy when they’re already made out of durable materials like concrete? Here are some of the best arguments for sealing that concrete and increasing the value of your floors.
The first major advantage is that these coatings save you money. It does this by both cutting down on upkeep costs and extending the life of your floor. There are also some less obvious benefits.
Low Maintenance
Concrete floors absorb liquids and moisture and are susceptible to more damage from chemicals than epoxy sealed floors. If you’re dealing with materials that damage concrete, epoxy flooring is a probably a no brainer. Even if you’re only dealing with the most benign stuff, the polymerized seal you get with these floors makes any mop up a snap.
Durability
Your concrete floor wears down from machinery and foot traffic, and once it starts chipping there’s no stopping it. Sealing your floors is a preemptive measure so you don’t have to go around filling up countless little potholes and disrupting your daily activities in the process.
Quick Install
It may not be the most obvious benefit, but your first money saver is going to be during installation. Setup and execution for a coating job is quick and painless, so you’ll only have to vacate the area for a short amount of time. That means less time out of your building and more money in your pocket.
To summarize, epoxy flooring may save you a lot more money than you expect. The hidden benefits start at the ease of installation and go on from there. Then you have a significant increase in your floor’s lifespan to look forward to. Finally, epoxy’s ease of maintenance when compared to unfinished concrete lets you minimize labor spent on cleaning and maximize productive activities.
