Why Epoxy Flooring?

---

If you are planning to replace or finish a floor, you need to consider epoxy. Why? Because there are several benefits of having an epoxy floor. Several popular benefits are:

Epoxy flooring is exceptionally strong and built to handle heavy use without sacrificing appearance. Once cured, it creates a hard, durable surface that resists impacts, abrasions, chemicals, stains, and everyday wear. This strength makes epoxy an excellent choice for garages, basements, workshops, and other high-traffic areas where long-lasting performance matters.

No matter what type of surface you have, you want it to protect the underlying cement. Damage to the cement means it will need to be replaced, which is a costly and a disruptive job. Epoxy essentially  takes this risk off the table because it is non-porous. Water, dirt, cleaning chemicals, and paints will not penetrate  your floor if you choose to go the epoxy route.

If your floor is ever exposed to chemical substances, then an epoxy solution is  your safest bet. Otherwise, without the epoxy coating, the chemical products will effect the  aesthetic of your flooring system, with an appearance of a stain(s) and/or change of color to your original flooring. Chemicals can also definitely effect the endurance and solidity of your floor, which can cause it to crack and damage the concrete underneath.

That's why epoxy floor coatings are commonly used in commercial facilities, thanks to their chemical-resistant properties. Commercial kitchens, research laboratories, healthcare clinics and hospitals, schools, and pharmaceutical facilities all rely on epoxy flooring to provide durable, chemical-resistant surfaces that can withstand demanding environments.

Do you want your flooring to have some personality and some flair? An epoxy coating offers you this option without having to compromise on durability and protection. Choose from a range of designs and colors to personalize and make your flooring stand out!

When you install a new floor, you want it to last and retain its qualities over many years, so that you don’t have to worry about maintenance.

Epoxy is extremely strong. It is roughly five times thicker than an average paint solution because of one of it's main ingredients: resin. There is no alternative on the market that is as long-lasting as epoxy. It truly is designed to stand the test of time.

With all the usability benefits mentioned already, you might be thinking  epoxy is a hassle to install. Epoxy may surprise you in that it is quick and easy to install relative to other flooring  solutions. At Indy Top Coat, it takes us 2 days to install an epoxy floor professionally.
