Epoxy flooring is a popular choice for industrial environments due to its durability, chemical resistance, and ease of maintenance. There are several types of epoxy flooring systems designed to meet specific industrial needs. Here are some most common types we have installed:
- Self-Leveling Epoxy Floors:
- Ideal for areas where a smooth and seamless surface is required, such as manufacturing plants and warehouses.
- Provides a level and even surface, making it easy to clean and maintain.
- Mortar Epoxy Floors:
- Composed of epoxy resins and a filler material like sand or quartz.
- Offers enhanced thickness and durability, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial settings with high levels of impact and traffic.
- Antistatic Epoxy Floors:
- Designed to dissipate electrostatic charges, making them suitable for areas where sensitive electronic equipment or products are present, such as electronics manufacturing facilities or cleanrooms.
- Decorative Epoxy Floors:
- Includes various decorative elements such as colored flakes, metallic pigments, or custom patterns.
- Combines aesthetics with the benefits of epoxy, making it suitable for showrooms, retail spaces, or areas where appearance matters.
- Quartz-Filled Epoxy Floors:
- Contains quartz sand as a filler, providing additional hardness and slip resistance.
- Commonly used in areas where a non-slip surface is essential, such as chemical processing plants or areas prone to wet conditions.
- Gravel Epoxy Floors:
- Incorporates decorative gravel or aggregate into the epoxy mix.
- Offers a textured and slip-resistant surface, making it suitable for outdoor or high-traffic areas.
- Epoxy Terrazzo Floors:
- Combines epoxy with a mix of aggregates, including marble or glass chips.
- Provides a decorative and highly durable flooring option for commercial and industrial spaces.
- Solvent-Based Epoxy Floors:
- Uses solvent-based epoxy resins, which offer faster curing times and strong adhesion.
- Suitable for environments where a quick turnaround is required, such as automotive garages.
- Water-Based Epoxy Floors:
- Utilizes water as a carrier for the epoxy resins, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
- Typically used in areas where low odor and VOC emissions are important.
When selecting an epoxy flooring system for industrial use, it’s crucial to consider factors such as the specific requirements of the facility, the level of traffic, chemical exposure, and any specialized needs such as electrostatic dissipation or decorative elements. We have over 50 years of experience in dealing with installations with the appropriate materials resulting in desired durability.
