Epoxy flooring is a surface created by applying multiple layers of epoxy to a floor. The coating has a depth of at least two millimetres. It is important to mention here that epoxy flooring and epoxy floor coating are not the same thing. While epoxy floors are those where the coating is at least two millimetres thick, depth below this will fall under epoxy floor coatings. However, epoxy flooring is not a flooring itself, as it has to be coated on top of either steel, concrete or wooden floor base.
Also known as resinous flooring, epoxy flooring is created using a combination of polymer resins and hardeners. This union of two chemicals creates a stiff plastic-like material that is highly durable and extremely low maintenance.
