Epoxy flooring is typically used in commercial and industrial buildings, but it is also becoming increasingly popular in residential homes. We discuss what you need to know about epoxy flooring below. If you’re thinking about installing epoxy flooring in Cincinnati, contact Cincy Preferred Flooring   to get started.


What Is Epoxy Flooring?

Epoxy coating is formed by combining resin and hardener. It is commonly used over concrete, wood, and tile flooring. Epoxy coatings can make flooring safer, more durable, and easier to maintain. They also produce an aesthetically attractive sheen. 


Benefits of Epoxy Flooring

Epoxy flooring is easier to clean since it lacks the cracks and tiny nooks that other types of flooring have. Epoxy eliminates the risk of liquid spills warping or ruining your floors, which is especially useful if you have children or pets at home. 
After applying epoxy coating, there is no need to repaint or reapply. Its robust surface can withstand the majority of chipping and fissures. When properly maintained and applied in a low-traffic area, this coating can last from 10 to 30 years. 

Challenges

Because of its smooth surface, epoxy flooring becomes exceedingly slippery when wet. Anti-slip coatings can be applied to lessen the risk of falling. It's also important to note that epoxy coating cannot be cleaned with a standard household cleaner. To prevent eroding or clouding, use ammonia and water or an epoxy-specific solution. When first installing epoxy coating, remember that it takes 24 to 72 hours to completely cure. Fumes can be hazardous if inhaled in large quantities, so stay away from the area while it dries.
