About epoxy flooring
Practical Flooring Solutions for Different Spaces
Epoxy flooring systems are applied to suitably prepared substrates to create a continuous resin-based surface. Depending on the system, they can provide a smooth appearance and simplify routine cleaning in suitable residential, commercial and industrial environments.
The finished result depends heavily on concrete condition, moisture levels, surface preparation, material compatibility and installation conditions. The appropriate system also depends on traffic, impact, chemical exposure and the required slip resistance.
Buildcare assesses the intended application and floor condition before recommending a suitable epoxy flooring system.
