What is Epoxy Resin Flooring?
Considered as one of the most commonly used flooring systems, resin floors provide a valuable service to the properties that use them. It is made using a mix of different materials and chemicals. Once hardened, the material becomes highly resistant to most factors that accelerate a floor’s deterioration. Aside from this, the material can be enhanced in its liquid state with other solutions, like an antimicrobial formula.
Applications for Epoxy Resin Flooring
Epoxy resin is used typically for high-performance flooring. Expect to see it in both industrial and commercial spaces. This flooring system can withstand several factors, including years of high traffic and frequent heavy-duty cleaning.
Industrial Floors
Epoxy resin flooring is ideal for factories and manufacturing plants. Food processing facilities also use this flooring system for its slip resistance and antimicrobial properties.
Commercial Floors
Epoxy resin flooring is typically used in commercial properties because it is durable, attractive and easy to maintain. With the right design, this flooring system can improve the space’s aesthetic appeal.
Outdoor Applications
Epoxy resin flooring is also used in several outdoor flooring applications. Unlike other flooring systems, this option is better at surviving the elements.
Shock Resistant
Epoxy resin effectively fortifies your existing flooring system. When applied correctly, the material will absorb pressure and shocks to preserve the surface underneath. You no longer have to worry about the impact of heavy items falling on the floor or the frequency of heavy vehicles driving over it.
Heat Resistant
Epoxy resin has a heat resistance of up to 200 °F, but higher grades of epoxy can withstand hotter temperatures. Commercial kitchens and food processing facilities typically use epoxy resin to prevent their floors from warping from frequent and excessive temperature changes.
Water-resistant
Epoxy resin is highly resistant to water and other types of liquids. Prevent floors from warping or becoming slip hazards with this coating. The material will keep moisture from seeping in and damaging the floor underneath. Additionally, with the right aggregate, epoxy resin can give floors better traction to prevent slips and trips.
Chemical Resistant
Epoxy resin effectively protects your existing flooring system from different types of chemicals. With the right density and depth of the coating, this solution will keep chemicals from seeping through and destroying your floor underneath.
Easy to Maintain
Epoxy resin floors are easier to maintain for long-term use. Its protective properties prevent moisture, dust and other particles from seeping into the concrete and accelerating its deterioration. Additionally, its smooth surface makes it easier to sweep and mop.
Versatile
Epoxy resin effectively transforms a property’s aesthetic appeal. Once dry and hard, the material gives off a sheen that is complemented by lighting systems. Additionally, decorative chips can be added to the material in its liquid form to add style to it.
Cost-Effective
Epoxy resin provides you with a cost-effective solution to improving your flooring systems. Rather than removing and installing new floors, you can simply have epoxy resin applied to your existing floors to improve its performance and aesthetic appeal.
Advantages of Epoxy Resin Flooring
There are several reasons why epoxy resin flooring systems are widely popular. By getting a better understanding of its benefits, you learn how your property can take advantage of this flooring solution.
How We Apply Epoxy Resin on Floors
Armourcrete developed an application process to make sure your floors are well-covered by the epoxy resin coating you choose. Our team is trained to carry out this process with minimal disruption and downtime for your operations.
Step 1: Prepare the floor for the coating process
We start by cleaning the floor—from sweeping and vacuuming it to scrubbing it with cleaning agents and rinsing with water. We repair any cracks and chips before proceeding with the application process.
Step 2: Apply a bonding agent to the floor
We pout a solution, a mix of muriatic acid and water, onto the clean and repaired floor. We make sure the whole surface is covered before letting it set. This solution will make it easier for the epoxy resin to bond with the floor.
Step 3: Rinse the floor and let it dry
We rinse the floor with water after the bonding solution sets. We mop up the excess water before letting the surface dry on its own.
Step 4: Pour additional layers of epoxy coating
After the initial layer dries, more epoxy coating will be poured over the floor. The drying time varies from four to 24 hours, depending on the size of the entire surface. This process continues until the team achieves your desired number of epoxy layers.
Step 5: Apply epoxy resin onto the floor
We proceed by pouring the epoxy resin mixture onto the primed floor. Much like the previous step, we use a paint roller and a paintbrush to make sure the entire surface is covered.
Additional Step: Add the decorations on top of the epoxy resin solution.
After applying epoxy resin onto the floor, we will attach the necessary decorations to the floor. These can be anything, from decorative flakes and patterns to wayfinders and a printout of your business name.
Step 6: Inspect the finished surface
Once it has been cleaned, the managing director will inspect the entire flooring system before signing off on it.
