What is Epoxy?
how does it work?

Epoxy is a set of materials that are combined together to form a durable surface for flooring.

A central characteristic to epoxy coating is that it comprises of two parts – a combination of polymer resins and hardeners. When correctly combined, these two parts react to one another resulting in an exceptional bond with each composite, and with the floor itself. Multiple layers of epoxy are applied to the floor resulting in a smooth, seamless, long-lasting surface.

Epoxy is a superior flooring option in that it binds to the surface it is applied to, fusing to the substrate on a molecular level, thus effectively becoming part of the substrate.

Epoxy is well known for its strength and resistance to impact, stains and distortion from being exposed to water.

Epoxy floors are incredibly easy to maintain. Sweep as needed and mop using soap and water. Avoid acidic cleaning products which could diminish the gloss finish. Bacteria and grime will not adhere to the surface which results in your floor being easier to maintain for hygiene using basic cleaning products and tools.
