Easy Maintenance – Epoxy flooring is very simple to care for. With simple cleaning on occasion, and a reseal every five years, your floors should remain in great shape for decades!
Durable – you want to have flooring that is going to last and that can stand up to the abuses of weather and everyday traffic. Epoxy hardens into a protective shell that has the potential to last a lifetime with proper care. It will remain looking good for much longer than many other types of flooring.
Beautiful Designs – With this type of flooring system, there is more optionality regarding designs. Colors, logos, patterns, chips, flakes, etc. are all possible with this type of floor, depending on your specific contractor.
Safer/Anti-Slip – In areas were safety is a concern, texture can be added to the coating to provide an anti-slip surface. This can make a huge difference, especially on wet, dirty floors.
Higher Level of Cleanliness – Epoxy floors are not going to hold onto dust and other particulates as easily as normal flooring. This means that sweeping and cleaning this type of flooring regularly will be much easier compared to traditional floors.
Fast Installation – Epoxy coating in normal conditions is relatively quick, especially when you have the professionals doing it for you. Preparation is the key to ensuring a fast, easy, and quality installation.
Why Should You Hire a Professional?
If you are thinking of applying an epoxy coating in your home, it is important to consider the benefits of hiring a professional.
- Professionals often use higher-quality epoxy. As with any product, there are several variations of Epoxy that can be used in residential and commercial applications.
- Preparation is a vital component of application; most homeowners do not have the expertise or equipment to properly prepare the substrate.
- Many homeowners believe they will save money if they will paint the epoxy themselves, however, this is often not the case. With the do-it-yourself epoxy kits, adhesion is often a huge issue. To continuously keep your floor looking nice, many homeowners are forced to re-paint the epoxy floor several times throughout the year.
- When professional epoxy flooring companies perform the application, there is simply a much better looking application. Additionally, there is often a more variety of colors, texturing options, paint chips, urethane topcoats, etc. that are offered when using a contractor.
- Peace of mind. With professional applications, many epoxy-flooring applicators offer warranties with their products. If you are worried about having to repay for revision in the near future, simply ask the professional applicator for a material and labor warranty.
