Installing And Maintaining Epoxy Flooring

by Delores Chavez

Any choices that you make about your home's flooring can have a major impact on the appearance of your home and the amount of maintenance that it will require. In this regard, epoxy flooring is a useful option for both residential and commercial properties.

Epoxy Flooring Can Be Extremely Easy To Clean

Keeping the floors clean can be a constant challenge due to the amount of dirt and mud that people will track into the building on their shoes. While epoxy flooring will still need to be cleaned regularly, this can be an easy process as the epoxy flooring will lack pores and other small openings that could trap dirt. When cleaning the epoxy flooring, you may only need to use a damp mop to easily remove dirt and mud that has gotten on it. If you do not need to use cleaning chemicals, make sure to use an epoxy-safe option to prevent degrading your floor's coating.

The Floors Will Have To Be Properly Prepared Before The Epoxy Flooring Can Be Applied

Prior to applying an epoxy coating, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare your flooring. Without effective preparation work, the epoxy coating will not form a strong bond. This can lead to numerous problems in the future. The exact preparation steps can vary based on the type of flooring that you have. At a minimum, this will involve thoroughly cleaning the floor to remove any dirt that could inhibit the application of the epoxy. Some types of flooring may also need to be roughened prior to the application of the epoxy. By hiring a professional epoxy flooring contractor, you can ensure that the floor is properly prepared so that the new epoxy coating will be able to last as long as possible.

Epoxy Flooring Will Eventually Need To Be Replaced

Epoxy flooring can be a durable option that is well suited for high-traffic areas. However, it will need to be refinished every few years in order to keep it looking its best. For the best results, the entire epoxy coating should be removed before a new layer is applied. Fortunately, the process of replacing epoxy flooring will be relatively quick. You can help extend the life of the epoxy flooring by sweeping it every day and mopping it every week. This may not seem like it will be particularly beneficial to the flooring at first, but the dirt and dust that can settle on the floor can be surprisingly abrasive. This will allow it to gradually wear away the epoxy coating.
