Over the past several years, epoxy flooring has been gaining popularity for both residential and Commercial spaces in Salt Lake City, UT. There are many things to consider when deciding on flooring options, including durability, appearance, and cost. In this blog post we will explore the benefits and potential drawbacks of installing an epoxy floor to help you decide if the investment fits your needs and budget.
Epoxy flooring offers significant durability making it a worthwhile investment for both homes and businesses. It will protect your concrete floor and is resistant to damage from chemicals, moisture, and heavy traffic. Our expert team at Jeff Dumas Concrete Construction will finish your epoxy floors with a polyaspartic topcoat made by XPS, further enhancing the floor’s resistance to damage, including scratches and impacts. A properly installed and maintained epoxy floor can last up to 20 years.
Beyond durability, epoxy flooring is visually impactful for a home or business. Whether you choose a flake floor or a metallic epoxy floor, our team can create a design that adds to the beauty of your home or helps promote your business’s brand identity and elevate the customer experience when visiting your business. The unique look and design you choose will make your home or business in Salt Lake City, UT, stand out from the rest and give a lasting impression to first-time visitors.
Whether you choose to install an epoxy flake or metallic floor, cleaning them is a breeze and will save you time and money. We recommend wiping up oil, antifreeze, or any chemicals as soon as possible. If you need to spot-clean a spill, use a shop vacuum to remove liquids and dirt, then wipe the area with warm water and a mop. For small stains, you can use a kitchen sponge to wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, harsh cleaning chemicals, soaps, citrus cleaners, or vinegar. For daily cleaning, use a vacuum or a broom with soft bristles. Stiff bristle brooms may scratch epoxy flooring so do not use them. For a weekly cleaning, use a dust mop or a regular mop with warm water. An easy and quick way to clean the entire floor, especially in a warehouse, is to hose the floor down and then use a squeegee to remove residue.
As far as safety and environmental benefits, epoxy flooring is a great choice. Our team can discuss how we can make your floor slip resistant through the use of additives or textures to your topcoat. This helps reduce slips and falls, even when the floor is wet or exposed to oil or other slippery spills. This is especially important for commercial spaces where safety is a concern like commercial kitchens, garages, or industrial spaces. On top of that, professionally installed epoxy flooring, once cured, is a low-emission option that contributes to better indoor air quality.
When it comes to comparing cost vs. long term value, epoxy flooring is a great option. It may cost more to install initially, but the quality and beauty will last much longer than other types of flooring. Our team uses XPS Xtreme Polishing System products for your installation. Couple that with our skilled and experienced team and you will be enjoying your commercial or residential floors for years to come. Because epoxy flooring is so durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and chemicals, you will see savings in the need for frequent repairs or replacements. You will also see savings because they require minimal cleaning and upkeep.
When it comes to applications and versatility, epoxy flooring is resistant to stains and chemical spills making it ideal for warehouses or businesses like hair salons, nail salons, and restaurants. Homeowners appreciate the moisture and chemical resistance of epoxy floors for garages, basements, utility, and laundry rooms, and love the artistry of metallic floors in living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, and entryways. Metallic flooring has a three dimensional finish that can resemble anything from molten metal to natural stone. Metallic floors come in a rainbow of colors that are highly customizable with effects like marbling or swirling. Flake flooring has a textured appearance created by embedding vinyl or mica flakes into the base color. Flake floors are typically more uniform and have a speckled look, resembling terrazzo or granite, but are also customizable. When it comes to installation, metallic floor installation will take longer than a flake floor because of the multiple layers applied to create the desired look. Flake floors are faster to install, especially for large areas like warehouses.
