If you’re looking to upgrade your home, epoxy floor coatings should be a top consideration because they’re a unique, beautiful option.
You may have previously believed that only the most luxurious of homes or auto showrooms would have this kind of high-end finish, but that isn’t the case anymore. Epoxy coatings are both highly customizable and affordable, often costing a few hundred dollars or less. Here are five reasons you should make adding epoxy-coated floors your next home upgrade.
1.Better Function
One of the most common spaces in a home where you’ll find epoxy coating on the floors is in the garage. Garages can be extremely dirty and dusty, particularly as cars are parked there. Grease and oil often leak from our cars, as well as all the water, grime, and dust from our everyday drives. On the typical concrete garage floor, which is permeable, these spills can stain and create bad odors. Over time, moisture seeping into the concrete could lead to mold or mildew problems, as well. The great thing about coating the concrete with epoxy is the floors are then waterproof. Adding epoxy to the floors ensures an easy-to-clean, water-resistant surface.
2.Aesthetically Pleasing
Besides improving the function of your living spaces, epoxy floor coatings are visually appealing. Rather than dull, grey concrete, you can customize the look of your floors to fit your home. In the typical garage, you might notice the unevenness of color, or your eye might be immediately drawn to the oil spots where your cars usually park. Adding epoxy creates a uniform surface that is clean and beautiful. Epoxy floors also make an area look finished and intentional. Instead of a drab basement storage room, coating the floor in epoxy keeps the room cleaner and looking like it wasn’t an afterthought.
3.Customizable
Because you can choose the color, you can opt for a shade of epoxy coating that best highlights the beauty of your home, making it look high-end and custom. Depending on the usage of the space, you can also customize the type of surface of the floor coating, whether that be sleek and smooth, or grippy and slip-resistant.
4.Safety
If you’re lucky enough to have a pool in Utah, you may want to consider adding an epoxy floor coating to the surrounding concrete. This is because the epoxy finish actually helps prevent slips. Another safety consideration is respiratory health. Regular unsealed concrete sheds dust that can get into your lungs and cause health problems. Sealing concrete with an epoxy coating (which is non-toxic once cured) can help cut down on the amount of dust–particularly from concrete–in your home, making it a safer environment to live in.
5.Easier to Clean
Speaking of dust, cleaning is something you need to consider when it comes to your floors. Unsealed concrete is a process to clean. Because the material is porous, leaks and spills easily seep into the concrete, and it can take a lot of effort to remove them. By contrast, epoxy coated floors can be kept clean with a simple dust mop or push broom once a week, and wiping up any liquids with a paper towel. While you’ll want to stay on top of the dust and grime brought in on tires and foot traffic, no additional dust is being produced by the concrete.
