How Epoxy Flooring Can Increase Safety
Epoxy floors can improve safety in more ways than one and can provide additional benefits for the workplace. A strong, durable, and unique flooring can revitalize an existing concrete floor and is cost effective.
Easier to Clean Spills and Chemicals
In professional workplaces such as industrial garages, or commercial manufacturing warehouses epoxy floor coatings make cleaning spills easier. Oils, chemicals, and other potentially dangerous spills can quickly turn to a safety issue with concrete floors, but epoxy flooring simplifies the cleaning process. Epoxy floors reduce exposure time and eliminate leftover residue ensuring the safety of those who work in the immediate vicinity. A Concrete floor is made from a very porous material and tends to soak up oils and other chemicals making cleaning and removal more difficult and time consuming. An epoxy protective flooring can withstand typical wear-and-tear in a warehouse environment and is resistant to damage from simple mistakes like dropping tools, or spilling oil, and it resists moisture damage. The durability and resistance of epoxy floor systems improves safety in commercial environments making cleaning a quick and simple task.
Epoxy Floor Coatings Eliminate Uneven Surfaces
One great benefit of working with epoxy flooring is the seamless, smooth layer of epoxy once it is installed. Not only do epoxy floor coatings cover hazardous cracks and other damaged parts of existing flooring, but it can completely eliminate uneven surfaces. Epoxy floor coatings are made from a durable resin, and the nature of this product is to fill in cracks creating a clean, smooth surface. In a manufacturing building or warehouse environment slips, missteps, and other incidents caused by damaged flooring can easily cause injury, but a level epoxy flooring your commercial space will be safer and keep things running smoothly. A level work environment means your team is safe from cracks, slants, and discrepancies in the floor. This is especially important in a warehouse or commercial building where heavy machinery and equipment is being used.
Anti-Skid Additives for Increased Traction Safety
In a commercial environment where it is common for liquids to end up across the warehouse floor there are anti-skid options to enhance the traction of your epoxy flooring. These additives are mixed in with the epoxy components prior to pouring and installing in order to provide greater traction along the floor coatings. Industrial epoxy floor coatings will have less of a glossy finish, but in turn will increase safety in the work environment. Manufacturing companies, garages, and other warehouse style workplaces can benefit greatly by utilizing anti-skid additives to prevent injuries from workers falling or slipping. In an industrial building flooring with more traction can also result in less unwanted incidents and potentially less damaged equipment. We also offer other additives for visual appeal that work great in showrooms such as floor flakes, dyed epoxy flooring, metallic marble, and more.

Additional Epoxy Flooring Benefits
The benefits of an epoxy floor coating go far beyond just safety and can be an excellent choice for an industrial or commercial building. From warehouse buildings to industrial garages, epoxy is a highly durable floor coating that with proper maintenance can withstand chemical spills, and heavy wear-and-tear. The extended lifespan of industrial epoxy means it will require less overall intensive maintenance. Because epoxy is made from durable materials they can handle heavy use and can be very resistant to scratching, impacts, and more. Maintenance for flooring with an epoxy coat is relatively easy, making cleaning chemical and oil spills faster and more thorough when compared to traditional concrete flooring. Epoxy floor coatings need to be repaired less frequently, and when repairs are required they typically are faster and easier than concrete flooring. Epoxy also has great visual appeal and can come in many unique and customized styles. Epoxy makes for a great flooring for showrooms or other spaces designed to promote product sales.
Durability & Value of Epoxy Floor Coatings
The durability of epoxy makes it a great value investment for flooring in both commercial and residential buildings not only because it is long lasting, but the relatively low cost of an epoxy flooring saves you money upfront. Traditional concrete flooring more easily cracks, and is more prone to stains from oils, chemicals, and other difficult to clean substances. Concrete flooring can cost more in maintenance over its lifespan. With epoxy your flooring is not only a better long term value, but if properly cared for can save you money again and again. Epoxy can also cover previous damage done to older concrete flooring like cracks, chips, and other unsightly problems. An epoxy flooring eliminates these previous issues without having to do flooring demolition or any other intense manual labor repairs
