Epoxy

Epoxy flooring is a popular floor covering that is used in both industrial, commercial and sometimes even private environments. Epoxy coating consists of a two-component mixture of resin and hardener, which together form a strong and durable surface. This type of floor covering offers excellent wear resistance, chemical resistance and a high-gloss surface that is easy to clean.

Properties and advantages of epoxy floors:

1. High durability: Epoxy flooring is extremely durable and can handle heavy traffic, making it ideal for factories, warehouses and other industrial environments where machinery and vehicles such as forklifts are present.

2. Chemical resistance: Epoxy flooring is highly resistant to a variety of chemicals, including acids, oils and solvents, making it an excellent choice in environments where chemicals are used regularly, such as laboratories and industrial premises.

3. Easy to clean and maintain: The smooth, seamless surface makes epoxy flooring easy to clean and hygienic, making it particularly popular in hospitals, kitchens and food establishments.

4. Aesthetics: Epoxy flooring comes in a range of colors and can also be used to create patterns and specially designed surfaces. The glossy surface can give a modern and stylish look, which means that it is also used in commercial buildings and shops.

5. Resistant to moisture and water: Epoxy flooring offers a certain degree of moisture resistance, which allows it to be used in environments where water and moisture are common, such as garages and warehouses.

6. Safety: The floor can also be made non-slip by adding different materials to the surface, which makes it safer in work environments with a high risk of spills.

7. UV sensitivity: A disadvantage of some epoxy floors is that they can yellow or lose their shine when exposed to prolonged UV exposure. However, there are UV-stabilized variants that counteract this.

Common areas of use:

• Warehouses and factories

• Hospitals and laboratories

• Commercial buildings and office premises

• Garage and parking garage

• Sports halls and gyms

• Food establishments and kitchens

Epoxy flooring is a versatile and durable alternative that provides a combination of aesthetics and function. It offers a strong, durable surface that can handle both mechanical and chemical stress, while being easy to maintain.
