We love epoxy flooring and we think you will too! So what exactly is Epoxy Flooring? Epoxy is a plastic paint, adhesive or a material made from synthetic thermosetting polymers containing epoxide groups. Basically, these floors are based on using a combination of resins and hardeners to create a customized look you can enjoy for years to come. So why are these floors becoming more and more popular? Let us give you the 411 on epoxy flooring!

Great for Custom Design

You can get pretty creative when it comes to designing an epoxy floor. There are several different kinds of epoxy: self-leveling, epoxy mortar, quartz-filled, anti-static and epoxy flake. All of these epoxy types allow great customization in color. Especially for the quartz-filled and flaked styles there are numerous options of quartz grains or color chips that can be paired with the epoxy to create vibrant and exciting floors. Using custom epoxy floor works great in man caves, garage floors, or rooms where you want a customized color or look!

Quick to have!

Another reason why epoxy flooring is so great is they are fast! What we mean is the cure time for epoxy is much quicker than other floors. Cure time is the time amount of time it takes to get satisfactory moisture content and temperature in any fresh cast. For epoxy, that time window is quite brief. With quick cure times, means there’s a speedy turnaround time for your brand new floor!
