Commercial industries rely on their flooring to ensure that it is safe, durable, and has advantages that make it a worthwhile choice. If you are considering redoing your commercial-use floor or building a new business, here are some of the many benefits of choosing epoxy flooring.
Durability and Strength
One of the most important reasons when choosing flooring for any type of need is its durability and strength and in this area – epoxy flooring excels above the rest.
Epoxy is a resin product that is durable when it comes to heavy objects being placed on the floor, it is shatter- and impact-resistant and its longevity can be for decades if it is taken care of correctly.
Instead of having to replace the flooring a few years down the road, it lasts for many years and won’t cause you unnecessary downtime at your business.
Easy to Clean
In order to save time and money, you need a floor that is easy to take care of and epoxy flooring is very simple to keep clean and looking new. Since it is stain resistant as well as resistant to dirt and dust, a simple sweeping and mopping are all it takes to make it look sparkling clean. This is because it is sealed and not a porous component like bare concrete.
Aesthetically Pleasing
With epoxy flooring, the choices are many when deciding on how you want it to look at your business. If you want a plain look in a neutral color, it still looks shiny and attractive. However, if you want something that stands out and showcases your company in a way that is unique – there are so many options like different colors, patterns, and even specific customized looks that portray your business name. Own a garage and would like a checkerboard pattern? That’s as possible as choosing one color – it all depends on your own preferences for the company.
Safer
Safety is a major concern for those who run businesses. An employee being hurt on the job can cost exorbitant amounts. According to Bic Magazine:
According to the National Safety Council, slips, trips and falls are one of the most common and costly workplace incidents across all industries. In fact, they account for 35 percent of incidents, 36 percent of emergency department visits and 65 percent of lost workdays. Additionally and more staggering, OSHA says slips, trips and falls account for 15 percent of all accidental deaths, second only to automobile fatalities.
Epoxy coating is resistant to fire, extreme impact, temperature, and yes – slips and falls.
A Green Choice
It’s no wonder that epoxy products are expected to surge in use. One of the many reasons is that it is more of a green choice. It is better for the environment because of its reduction in materials used. Instead of having to replace vehicles or equipment due to damage or replacing an entire floor, epoxy flooring is an alternative that is not only less expensive in many cases but takes fewer materials.
