How Installing Resin Flooring Can Save You Money!
Do you need a low maintenance, easy-care commercial floor covering that will last for years on end? Do you need to cover pourable, porous surfaces (such as concrete) quickly, efficiently, and at a lower cost than tiling, carpeting, or with wood?
Epoxy resin floor paint is an excellent choice to save money, both on installation costs and long-term maintenance. It's strong, durable, and can be made resistant to chemical spills and high levels of foot and vehicle traffic.
Epoxy Strength
One of the advantages of using epoxy resin flooring is its sheer strength. The resin hardens the high-gloss paint mix, making it resistant to chips, scrapes, and dents. It also has a high degree of heat and impact resistance, saving costly repairs in the event of an accident. This resistance to wear and tear makes it suitable for use in difficult to access, high-wear, and exposed outdoor areas, too.
Anti-Slip Surfacing
Did you know that epoxy can be mixed or coated to reduce slips, falls, and spills due to low friction? While epoxy mix itself is naturally smooth (making it ideal for vehicle surfacing), this can prove dangerous in pedestrian areas that need guaranteed grip. Reducing friction can help prevent you from being liable for accidents, ensuring both public safety and a welcome lack of compensation claims.
Increased Productivity
One advantage of using coloured epoxy resin is that it makes an ideal factory and workshop floor coating. By painting different sections of the floor different colours (to standard definitions), you can mark out machining, storage, access, and work areas.
Epoxy resin can also be used with top-level demarcations, lines, and stencils. Once the floor is painted, professional contractors can create layouts similar to road markings. These signs and lines can be used to designate safe boundaries, mark out workspaces, or direct traffic - leading to improved efficiency, health and safety, and productivity in the workplace.
Concrete and Base Material Shielding
By applying a new coat of epoxy resin every five years or so, you can significantly expand the expected lifespan of your underlying materials. Left unguarded, concrete is prone to cracking, eroding, and decay, as the elements and traffic chip away at the exposed surface. This can lead to costly repairs and, eventually, the repouring of the entire floor. Installing a single coat of resin as preventive maintenance could save you vast amounts of money over the space of a few decades.
