Residential Epoxy Flooring

Metallic Epoxy Resin vs. Epoxy Flake Flooring

Metallic epoxy flooring is a type of epoxy flooring that incorporates metallic pigments to create a shimmering, reflective finish. It is a popular choice for residential spaces that want to add a touch of glamour and sophistication to their flooring. Metallic epoxy flooring is also known for its durability and easy maintenance, making it a practical choice for new or existing residences.

Epoxy flake flooring is another type of epoxy flooring that incorporates colorful flakes into the finish. The flakes can be mixed and matched to create a variety of color schemes, making it a customizable option for residential spaces. Epoxy flake flooring is also durable and easy to maintain, making it a practical choice for residential garages and basements. Both metallic epoxy flooring and epoxy flake flooring are great options for residential spaces looking to add a touch of style to their flooring.

Professional Epoxy Floor Coatings vs. DIY Homeowner Products

Let’s start off by clearing up one big misconception: there is a MAJOR difference between epoxy floor painting and a professional epoxy floor coating. DIY household epoxy paint with an acid wash preparation is only effective for light duty, short- term applications. While it may appear beautiful at first, epoxy painting is a temporary solution for residential concrete floors because adhesion failure is almost guaranteed.

Professional epoxy floor coatings are a much stronger and long-lasting solution. Proper installation is a technical process that requires the expertise of an epoxy flooring contractor. This is because:

  • The success of this type of coating is dependent on proper preparation of the concrete by completely grinding the surface with specialized commercial equipment.

  • Epoxy and polyaspartic coating products work as a 2-component resin system with a very short application time. There is no room for error!

Industrial products like these require plenty of experience when it comes to the floor preparation, mixing and application process. A skilled team is worth the investment because the end result will be a seamless basement or garage floor that is strong, durable, long-lasting and easy to keep clean.
