In the workplace epoxy flooring is advantageous to both business owners and employees. It reduces expensive repairs, provides a safe working environment, resists chemicals, withstands heavy foot traffic, and much more.
The main reason why so many businesses are choosing to use Commercial Epoxy Flooring is because it greatly reduces repair costs across multiple industries including automotive garages, food processing plants, hospitals chapel floors , sports arenas, garage floors , warehouses . When there are chemical spills in these areas that would normally ruin carpets or absorbent tiles if not quickly removed with water or vacuumed up immediately. With Commercial Epoxy Flooring there is no need for downtime while waiting for the spill to be cleared up. The floors can be easily washed down and will be ready to use within just a few minutes.
Commercial epoxy flooring is extremely durable – being able to last for years with no need for patch or repair work unlike traditional surfaces. Traditional floor coatings such as tiles, linoleum , carpet, etc… quickly show wear around high-traffic areas where the material becomes thin from excessive traffic, exposing the subfloor beneath it. When this occurs it exposes those walking on the surface to possible injuries from sharp objects that may now protrude up through the surface which can also cause tripping hazards . With Commercial Epoxy Flooring there are none of these concerns due to its strong resistance against abrasion, heat, chemicals and impact damage.
Commercial epoxy flooring also offers superior chemical resistance, which is extremely important in many areas. It resists staining , rust, corrosion and degradation so it will always look clean and new. Many other surfaces can be easily marred by these chemicals leaving behind an unsightly blemish often requiring replacement of the damaged surface or at least time consuming cleaning to restore its appearance back to normal. With Commercial Epoxy Flooring chemicals are no problem! This makes commercial epoxy flooring a smart choice for food processing plants, hospitals, dental offices , pharmacies , computer rooms garages.
The slip resistant feature is another reason why commercial epoxy flooring is a great choice in a wide variety of settings. The better grip afforded over traditional flooring surfaces provides a greater sense of security reducing the chance of accidents. This feature is very beneficial in areas where floors may become wet or slippery such as food processing plants, hospitals, locker rooms , garages, etc…
Commercial epoxy flooring is an extremely durable surface that can be used in all areas for many years because it does not absorb liquids like traditional materials which makes them not only maintenance free but also waterproof! The non-porous surface prevents liquids from seeping into the subfloor requiring replacement or costly repair to remove damage that typically occurs with other types of flooring. It's perfect for around heavy machinery that creates hydraulic fluid spills at factories, dry cleaners , restaurants, garages , paint shops.
