In recent years, industries are doing away with polished concrete floors and embracing Epoxy floors for very obvious advantages of Epoxy over any kind of floor.
Below, I will highlight the benefits and Advantages over any other kind of flooring system.
If you ever want a durable company for any kind of industrial flooring, hospital, religious houses, schools, homes and offices, contact MAVERICK EPOXY & ARCHITECTURAL NIGERIA
1. EPOXY FLOOR LAST FOR A VERY LONG TERM
Your epoxy floor can be expected to last up to 30 years in light traffic areas. With regular maintenance, it can exceed 20 years of service even in heavy duty industrial and commercial facilities. Most cleaning and maintenance take only minutes and won’t interrupt your day to day business. Note, chemicals and stains doesn't affect Epoxy floors.
2. EPOXY FLOORS ARE COST EFFECTIVE
Since epoxy can often be installed over the existing flooring, you may save thousands of dollars you would otherwise spend on flooring repairs. This may prevent you from needing to replace a concrete slab that would fail within years if it were left exposed.
3. EPOXY FLOORS HANDLES INDUSTRIAL HAZARDS
Epoxy is resistant to cracking, a common problem with concrete, and offers durability against abrasion, corrosion, temperature extremes, and chemical spills. Although it is critical to remove spills as soon as possible, common industrial incidents won’t destroy epoxy floors.
4. EPOXY FLOORS ARE SHOCK RESISTANT
Epoxy stands out against concrete for its high level of shock resistance. Imagine an accident where a large piece of equipment, such as a forklift, topples to the ground. Heavy shocks easily produce cracks in concrete, whereas epoxy is unlikely to be damaged.
5. EPOXY IS AN EFFECTIVE SEALANT
Epoxy works by bonding over the existing surface, creating a tough, membrane-like coating. The new surface does not hold stains and prevents superficial defects from appearing in the concrete. Water does not soak into the concrete substrate either, adding to flood resistance.
6. EPOXY IS ABOUT 4 TIMES STRONGER THAN CONCRETES
On its own, concrete is able to carry about 3,000 pounds of load per square inch. With the right epoxy flooring, you can increase that to an astounding 12,000 pounds per square inch That translates to some of the highest compressive strength of any industrial flooring on the market.
7. EPOXY CAN IMPROVE OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The safety of your workforce is a top concern in any industrial environment. Epoxy increases visibility with its high sheen, reflecting light sources more acutely. This can make it easier to maximize the effectiveness of your safety and provide safe routing of your personnel.
8. EPOXY FLOORS AREN'T SLIPPERY LIKE POLISHED CONCRETE
While pinch-points and bottlenecks are the most dangerous aspects of an industrial workplace, a simple slip and fall can also be devastating. Epoxy eschews the slippery surface of some concrete: It can be mixed with gravel, sand, aluminum oxide or other additives with distinctive grip properties.
9. EPOXY IS IDEAL FOR GARAGE & WAREHOUSES
Epoxy is a great solution if you use heavy duty trucks or other vehicles. Tires are much less likely to do damage to an epoxy floor than to concrete. Better traction means that in-garage accidents are easily prevented, since vehicles will not skid as they take corners inside the lot.
10. ALL IN ALL, EPOXY FLOORS ARE ECO-FRIENDLY
Although epoxy resins are derived from petroleum, switching to epoxy flooring can help you reduce your overall carbon emissions. Long service life means you won’t have to buy or apply products that might have more direct environmental consequences.
