Epoxy flooring is a unique floor material that has steadily grown in popularity. Once a concrete floor has been smoothed and prepped, a resin and a hardening chemical are mixed together. The chemical reaction will turn the mixture into a hard plastic floor over a few days. So the compound is poured onto the concrete and allowed to harden before a second or third layer is applied. This liquid to solid process gives epoxy flooring the ability to be strong, stain resistant, and more. Its most popular uses are in hospitals, schools, garages, and industrial environments. But it can be just as useful for residential living rooms, kitchens, or other rooms types.

There are an immense number of benefits to choosing epoxy flooring. The first and foremost one is the price. The materials and installation costs are not very high, making it an easy investment. It’s also stain resistant. So if you were to spill liquids or chemicals, it would be an easy clean. The glossy surface makes messes a little less stressful. That’s why they’re popular for garages and hospitals. But, recently, they’ve become popular for living rooms, because they’re easy to add designs to. Patterns, swirls, and colors make this durable surface into a piece of art.

There are two costs to epoxy flooring. Materials and installation.  The more epoxy, the more expensive it is.  But, epoxy flooring is actually a fairly difficult process. Solutions have to be mixed, the concrete base has to be prepared just right, and the drying and layering process must be precise. Any mistakes will result in chipping, uneven flooring, or bubbles. So it would be best to hire a professional and trained technician to install the epoxy. Most companies will charge by the square foot.
