When it comes to designing or renovating a commercial or residential space, most of us often focus on selecting the right furniture, wall painting, and appliances. While these elements are undoubtedly integral, one aspect that we often overlook is the choice of flooring. However, the type of flooring you choose for your homes, offices, and industrial facilities has a big impact on the overall look and feel of your space. Flooring is an essential architectural element of any space and it is crucial to select the right material that not only looks great but also caters to your needs and delivers value.
Different flooring materials not only deliver different finishes, but the level of comfort, durability, and aesthetics also varies. At White Metal Contracting, we have years of experience in providing flooring solutions for both residential and commercial clients. Our team of experts takes pride in helping you find the right floor and the best value for your money. As a reputed flooring contractor, we often suggest epoxy floor painting in UAE for our customers. Proven to be a resilient flooring solution for reinforcing and preserving concrete surfaces, epoxy floor coating leads the way in overall compatibility and aesthetic value.
What is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a popular flooring material – a two-part mixture of epoxide resins and polyamine hardener. When polymer resins and hardening agents are mixed, they react chemically to produce a rigid plastic material that bonds to the substrate. Epoxy coating has a tightly linked cross-polymer structure that bonds seamlessly with most base layers and is highly durable and resistant to degradation.
From garages and retail stores to garages, hallways, restaurants, and hotel lobbies, the application of epoxy floor coating is as diverse as its benefits. You can even find epoxy line markings in UAE as well.
Benefits of Epoxy Floor Painting
There are many advantages associated with using epoxy coating for your floors. Here are the top benefits:
Improves aesthetic appeal
Epoxy floor coating, with its smooth, shiny, and seamless appearance, can spruce up the style of any space. If you have any decorative lighting, then the light will bounce off the glistening epoxy surface, giving an elegant appeal. And that is even before any colour or fillers are added. If you planning to renovate a business establishment, then you can opt to combine it with paint colours and patterns to fit the distinct style of your brand. Since epoxy floor painting is available in a versatile range of colours and patterns, you can easily transform your spaces into complete and sleek areas.
Cost-effective
If you are planning to renovate your existing space, then you may have to remove the existing floor, purchase a new set of floor tiles or vinyl, and install them. All of these might put a dent in your wallet. But do you know what could be a cost-effective option? Revamping your floor with epoxy floor painting. Refurbishing your old flooring with epoxy is an economic decision as it saves you time and costs. What is more about installing this resinous flooring system is that it requires low maintenance, and you won’t have to worry about replacing the floors for many years to come.
Excellent durability
When we say epoxy flooring has excellent durability, it means it can last longer due to its strength. Epoxy is designed to carry intense weight and when you add polyamine hardener to the mix, it increases its tenacity and flexural strength. Its sturdiness can last significantly longer and proves beneficial in withstanding the weight of heavy machinery, extensive traffic levels, drops, spills, and leaks. So, if you are looking for a flooring option that lasts longer than most other flooring solutions and even concrete, then epoxy is your best bet.
High resistance
Epoxy floor coatings are resistant to just about everything. It is one of the major reasons epoxy floor coating is a sought-after choice in commercial and industrial settings. First, it holds up well against stains and water, thanks to its non-porous nature. Unlike wooden or laminate flooring that is prone to water damage and staining, epoxy keeps your floor from distortion. At the same time, epoxy surfaces may be more slippery when it is wet. But you can fix the issue by requesting the contracting company to add anti-slip aggregate to the mix. Besides water, epoxy floors are also resistant to heat and harsh chemicals. Corrosive chemicals, transmission fluid, aggressive cleaning solutions, and oil do not damage it either, which makes it a great choice for commercial and industrial use.
Safety and visibility
The shiny surface of epoxy floors reflects lights and lights up the spaces, which increases the overall visibility. Also, as mentioned below, they are resistant to extreme and sudden impact, slippages, high temperatures, and even fire, serving as a protective shield to the surfaces. Additionally, you may request adding anti-slip additives such as mortar, gravel, or polymer grit to increase the safety levels of your flooring surfaces.
With all the major perks listed above, you might be thinking about choosing epoxy floor painting in the UAE. But keep in mind that you can reap these benefits only when the epoxy floors are properly installed. This means it is strongly recommended to hire a reputed company like White Metal Contracting to install an epoxy floor for your home or business.
