Epoxy Resin Flooring 3 Common Misconceptions About Epoxy Resin Flooring

 

If you have a damaged concrete floor in your industrial space, then this can be resolved with our epoxy resin flooring services. If the current floor is left without any maintenance and its state continues to worsen it could end up cracking and staining, potentially putting a risk on the staff working there. 

At REME Flooring, we can correctly prepare the floor and install epoxy resin flooring. This can last many years, providing a suitable and durable solution for your industrial space. It will also need little maintenance and upkeep.

Unfortunately, there are some common misconceptions about this flooring, which cause people to choose other options that may not be as suitable. Our list clears up these false claims, so you know what is correct. 

 

“Resin floors need to be replaced every few years.”

There is a range of floor coatings which only last a couple of years, and would need to be reapplied often. However, it would be incorrect to say that epoxy resin is one of them. Our epoxy resin floors, installed by our team of professionals, can last upwards of 10 years. 

Epoxy resin floors are very durable and are extremely resistant to a lot of things found in industrial environments such as; heavy vehicles, foot traffic, heavy machinery and chemical spills. With the correct thickness, they don’t become damaged even under the weight of an aircraft. 

 

“Resin floors are very slippery.”

The wonderfully shiny and smooth look of an epoxy resin floor may seem like it would be slippery, however, they are not. If you compare them to other smooth floor surfaces, you will find that epoxy resin is a lot less slippery. On top of this, they are also slip-resistant. 

We can also put extra slip-resistance aggregates in the top layer of your resin floor. This will make it even better when used in places with a slip risk, such as hospitals, drinks processing factories, and engine factories. 

 

“Resin floors are very expensive.”

Epoxy resin flooring isn’t the cheapest option available, but it is an extremely cost-effective investment for your business. You may find yourself spending lots of extra money post-installation with other flooring types on maintenance and repairs. 

Epoxy resin flooring is very durable and needs little maintenance. Damages can be localised, meaning you would only need to repair that section of the floor, and therefore spending less. The investment would essentially pay off.
