Will Mold Grow Under an Epoxy Metallic Floor Installation?

Mold will not grow under an epoxy metallic flooring installation because this type of flooring is:

  • A Waterproof Barrier
  • Antimicrobial
  • Protected By A Vapor Barrier If Needed
  • Easy To Surface Clean

Metallic Epoxy Flooring is a Waterproof Barrier

Epoxy flooring is a great option for Utah homeowners who want floors that are durable and mold-resistant. Its waterproof surface keeps moisture out, which is important because mold can’t grow without it. 

Epoxy is Antimicrobial

Most epoxy coatings, including metallic epoxy floors, have special antimicrobial ingredients that help stop mold, mildew, and fungus. Metallic epoxy is a cleaner and healthier choice than other flooring. 

 

Why a Professional Installation Matters

To get the best results, it’s important to have an experienced concrete contractor handle the installation. This means making sure the concrete is dry, the surface is prepped correctly, and the epoxy is applied the right way. At Jeff Dumas Concrete Construction, we even test for moisture before we start and can add a vapor barrier if needed. This keeps water from causing mold problems from under the concrete slab.

Our Team Will Look for These Potential Issues

Leaks or cracks: If there are cracks or leaks in the concrete beneath the epoxy, water could still seep through and support mold growth.
Moisture trapped under the floor: If the concrete is not adequately dried before epoxy application, trapped moisture could potentially lead to mold growth.
Poor ventilation: In humid environments with inadequate ventilation, even a properly applied epoxy floor could be susceptible to mold growth on the surface if not cleaned regularly.

Metallic Epoxy Floors 
Are Easy to Clean

Epoxy floors are also super easy to take care of—just clean them with soap and water to keep the surface bright and mold-free.

Additional Benefits
of Epoxy Metallic Flooring

Plus, epoxy flooring stops concrete from “dusting,” which is great for anyone with allergies or asthma. Whether you’re looking for metallic epoxy floors or another style, epoxy flooring is a smart, healthy choice for your home.
