Does Your Building Need a New Floor?
Posted on: 9 February 2022
Do you need to fit out a commercial or industrial space? Maybe your company has just moved to a new site, and there is work required to make the building suitable for your purposes. There could be changes to the electrical connections or the general layout of the building to accommodate the various departments with their associated machinery or furniture. One part of the building which you must think about, but which may not be so immediately obvious, is the flooring.
Why does flooring matter?
For many people, the floor is only something on which they walk. They don't consider what type of floor a building has, or why the flooring material matters. Often the existing flooring could be concrete or timber, and while these are excellent for many purposes, epoxy flooring could be a better option. While epoxy flooring is widely used, not everyone is aware that epoxy is produced by combining resin and a hardening substance. The resulting material is a non-flexible plastic that bonds exceptionally well to wood, tile and other materials. Here are three advantages that epoxy flooring could bring to your property.
A lasting solution - While flooring is frequently overlooked, it is one of the most important parts of the building. If you want to move around the building safely, you must have a reliable floor. If the floor starts to buckle, sag or become chipped, it must be repaired or replaced. If you choose epoxy flooring, the floor will be durable and not easily damaged. An epoxy floor resists damage by both heat and water. It doesn't crack and even moving heavy equipment across the floor is rarely a problem.
An easy to clean surface - If you have ever needed to clean wooden or tile flooring, you will know how frustrating it can be. Dirt and grime can become ingrained in the wood or stuck between the tiles and be almost impossible to remove. Installing epoxy flooring solves these problems instantly. Epoxy creates a seamless flat surface, so any spillages can be mopped up quickly and without difficulty.
A superb appearance - Most of the time, you will appreciate epoxy flooring for the practical benefits it brings to your building, but you can't ignore the aesthetic advantages of the flooring. Epoxy flooring is available in many colours to suit any colour scheme. The smooth, shiny appearance of the flooring will fit into any environment and enhance the appearance of your building.
