What is Epoxy Floor Paint And When Could It Be A Suitable Choice?
| |Epoxy Paint – What Makes it Different from Other Paint Types?
Epoxy paint is formulated using an epoxy resin. This high-performing substance provides exceptional resistance to many chemicals and it is extremely durable. While this type of floor paint can be more expensive than its non-epoxy-based counterparts, the fact that it's so hard-wearing makes it a cost-effective choice. Once dry, epoxy paint will give your floors an impressive level of protection, but you won't need to sacrifice appearance for practicality. Using it will provide your floors with an attractive, high-quality coating, and you can even purchase epoxy floor paints which produce gloss and non slip finishes.Where and When to use Epoxy Floor Paint
Due to its durability, this type of floor paint is ideal for use in high traffic areas, such as warehouses, garages and shop floors. It's also a practical option for anyone painting a floor in an area which could be prone to spills, such as industrial kitchens, laboratories or MOT bays. Some epoxy paint products can also act as dust sealers when used on concrete floors. Epoxies can not be applied over single pack floor paints as the epoxy will attack it.What Types of Epoxy Floor Paint Can you Buy?
