Epoxy flooring has remarkable durability. It is essentially the most reliable type of flooring out there. Besides its resilience, it can also be stain and bacteria-resistant, depending on the additives. Resin floors are also low in odor and very easy to clean. For businesses, this means lower maintenance costs and effortless sanitation. Epoxy floors are also customizable, design, and composition-wise. Materials can be added to meet your business’ needs, such as slip resistance for workplace safety. Some companies might also want a smoother surface.
Epoxy flooring is a high-performance surface that can endure the heaviest loads. Commercial and industrial establishments rely on them to help maintain clean and safe working conditions for workers and patrons and their business inventory and equipment.
Here are the qualities of epoxy flooring that make it beneficial for business owners:
Resilient
Most businesses opt for non-porous resin for their floors. This type of epoxy is resistant to high temperatures, substantial impacts, and scratches and dings. Therefore, epoxy makes for a heavy-duty floor. It can support heavy workloads with repeated traffic, human and vehicle, passing over it. As a plus, a business will also save on repair and maintenance costs when compared to other types of flooring.
Minimal maintenance
Degradation is no problem, too, as epoxy floors are seamless. They do not absorb any moisture. Spilled drinks, oil, grease, gasoline are repelled. Grime, dirt, and sawdust are all easily washed off. This seamlessness of epoxy flooring makes it easy to sterilize. Seamless floors are especially significant for food and beverage businesses.
Easily customizable designs
Epoxy floors own the reputation of being the most beautiful flooring system in the market. Floor designers and their clients can choose from an almost unlimited number of choices regarding color, pattern, texture, luster, and more. Epoxy floors also act as a mirror in that they can increase the brightness and perception of space within a room. This is especially important for businesses that are only starting and are renting small or not-so-well lit spaces. Adding brightness may also lower utilities cost on lighting.
Resin floors can also be designed in a way that directs traffic in a given area, especially for larger businesses such as warehouses and factories. This avoids accidents and increases the pace at which equipment and inventory can be transported.
Quick installation
No one the world knows more about the adage, “Time is money,” like business people do. Epoxy floors are easy to install. They need far less prep work than traditional cement or stone floors. If pressed on time (and money), epoxy can just be poured over a pre-existing floor. The quicker the installation of a flooring system, the sooner a business can open its doors.
In the business world, efficiency is key to maximizing profit generation. At its most basic level, the design of an establishment or the workspace is considered. You would not want a sheen floor when your work requires that you handle heavy equipment. In a food business, you would not want a floor that is hard to keep clean and is porous. Choosing an epoxy floor system that fits business needs will positively influence productivity and, therefore, return investment.
