Epoxy floor coatings are a great upgrade option for your home, taking it from builder-grade or blah, to noteworthy.
There are many reasons for considering adding an epoxy coating to your floors, and there are just as many ways to customize them. Let’s take a look at both.
Why Choose an Epoxy Coating?
Applying an epoxy coating to your concrete can transform not only the look of your floor, but also the function. An uncoated concrete floor can be quite dusty, and accumulate dirt and grime very easily. Additionally, concrete is naturally a very porous material, which means every oil stain, food spill, or excess bit of moisture easily absorbs into it. Coating concrete with epoxy creates a water-resistant surface that repels all these kinds of spills and stains. It is easier to clean and maintain, and it also can provide safety by preventing slips. Finally, the aesthetics of an epoxy-coated floor are unmatched. Rather than the standard, gray, drab concrete typically found in homes, epoxy coating creates a smooth, even, stain-free surface that is pleasing to the eye.
How Can You Customize Epoxy Floor Coatings?
Epoxy comes in a wide array of colors, nearly anything you might wish. Here are some of the creative ways you can use epoxy coating to customize the look of your floors:
- Metallics. One option is adding a metallic appearance, creating a completely unique-looking floor. The nature of the metallic sheen creates a three-dimensional look that is like no other.
- Mimic natural flooring. Epoxy can also be applied in ways that mimic stone like marble, and can even duplicate the look of wood or tile flooring.
- Abstract designs. For a more abstract look, epoxy can be used in interesting patterns of ripples, clouds, or water-like waves.
- Detailed patterns. It’s possible to create a logo or other bold statements with epoxy, even intricate artwork. Sport court lines, your favorite team, or even detailed floral prints are all possibilities.
- Finishes. Besides the nearly limitless possibilities when it comes to color and pattern, you can further customize the epoxy coating on your floors by adding different finishes, from non-slip to high gloss.
- Texture. Another way to add a layer of interest is by using chips, which can help add texture to the floor. These chips come in many colors, and can be mixed together for a custom blend. Chips are available in many standard colors, but also in metallics, neons, sparkles, and even glow-in-the-dark or black light responsive!
