Whether you need to update your old floor or provide additional protection for your concrete floor surfaces, here are 7 advantages of epoxy that will not only enhance the appearance of your space but also strengthen your floor. Epoxy flooring is highly useful for concrete surfaces, protecting them from hard impacts that could cause defects while offering an aesthetic finish through either a glossy or matte finish.
The advantages of epoxy go beyond that. Epoxy is highly flexible and can be applied on various types of floors depending on your needs, from car garage floors, warehouse floors, factories, hospitals, to airport hangar floors. Concrete floor damage often occurs because the surface lacks protection and is left exposed. Choosing epoxy floor coating is the right solution due to its multiple advantages, including:
1. Great Appearance & Conceals Defects
The first advantage of epoxy is that it provides an elegant look. Glossy epoxy products create a shiny surface that enhances lighting effects, making the floor look clean and polished. Light reflecting from the surface gives the room a sophisticated appearance, with a variety of colors available to complement the building’s design for a harmonious color match between the floor and the building.
Epoxy also covers up defects or imperfections that your floor may have previously experienced. Epoxy paint is highly effective at concealing floor surface imperfections completely.
2. Cost-Effective
The second advantage of epoxy is its affordability, especially for large-scale projects. If your floor was previously covered with tiles or vinyl, applying epoxy coating does not require a demolition process, thus avoiding the additional costs of removal.
Using professional services is also a cost-effective choice as skilled professionals ensure the job is done right the first time, preventing costly reapplications.
3. Durability
The third advantage of epoxy is its durability. Epoxy flooring is well-known for its long-lasting properties, able to withstand heavy loads, friction, and chemicals. As a result, the lifespan of a floor coated with epoxy is significantly extended compared to floors without coatings or those covered with other floor finishes.
4. Protection
The fourth advantage of epoxy is its protective qualities. The epoxy layer sits directly on top of the concrete floor, shielding the concrete underneath from damage. Epoxy protection ensures the concrete doesn’t wear down, crack, or break.
5. Strength
The fifth advantage of epoxy is its strength. Epoxy can resist impacts and shocks, as well as bear heavy loads. Specifically, PU concrete-based epoxy coatings are flexible yet very strong. Generally, PU concrete epoxy is matte, but PT. Kimia Konstruksi Indonesia offers the Consol Ecocrete MF product with a semi-gloss finish that provides strength while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
6. Easy Maintenance
Epoxy is also easy to maintain. The epoxy layer continuously protects the concrete surface, making cleaning simple. Dust particles can be easily removed using a mop, broom, or vacuum. Additionally, bacteria, germs, and other contaminants will not stick or linger on the epoxy surface.
7. Environmentally Friendly
Though made from chemicals, epoxy application generates minimal waste and does not require constant replacement. The environment benefits from reduced construction debris being discarded. The long-lasting nature of epoxy ensures that the material is not used frequently, reducing waste.
These are some of the advantages of epoxy flooring that you should consider for your floors. Also, check out some epoxy tips for your floor on the official website at http://consolindonesia.com.
