Epoxy Floor Coatings vs. A Basic Mechanical Floor Polish

Epoxy Coatings are a revolutionary product because when it is applied to concrete flooring it makes the flooring durable, colorful and valuable. Epoxy coating has been used more and more in hotels, showrooms, restaurants, retail outlets, industries, garages, warehouses and more to protect and provide beautiful coloring to the concrete flooring.

The epoxy coating process is a chemical reaction after combining epoxide resin and a polyamine hardener that converts them from a liquid to a solid. The solid epoxy is applied over concrete flooring to provide the flooring with a high gloss, colorful and durable surface.

There are a number of benefits to applying epoxy floor coating to concrete flooring.  Epoxy provides a seamless surface that is durable, attractive, shiny, colorful and easy to keep clean. Epoxy floor coating protects the original concrete because the coating is resistant to chemical spills. Also, epoxy flooring is considered a “green” alternative to building material because the coating is an environmentally friendly flooring option.

Another great benefit of epoxy floor coating is the process is cost efficient. It is an affordable solution for coating that will last for years and provides little maintenance or upkeep.



What is the difference in using epoxy floor coating and mechanically polished concrete flooring? Mechanically polished concrete flooring process takes diamond blades to mechanically grind down the concrete until it is smooth and shiny.

Many ask when should epoxy floor coating be used instead of mechanically polishing process? The mechanically polished process is only for indoor flooring. However epoxy floor coating can be used indoors and outdoors because the seal acts as a protectant to the concrete from wear and tear from natural environment elements. The epoxy floor coating can have special grit added to the top layer to make it ideal for around pools or wet areas and keep if from being slippery.

Another area that epoxy floor coating should be used instead mechanical polish process is in areas that could have chemical spills. Mechanical polish process does not have a coating to protect the original concrete so chemical spills could damage the surface and cost more money to restore the flooring. Since the epoxy floor coating provides a protective seal, the concrete is protected from chemical spills and is easier to clean up the mess.
