In terms of aesthetics, epoxy floors are seamless, highly versatile and available to be produced in a wide range of colours, styles, effects and decorative options. These properties make them suitable for industrial and commercial facilities and locations. There are several general types of epoxy flooring, such as:

Epoxy terrazzo flooring provides a colourful, decorative, durable and seamless flooring surface. This type of flooring is created with a mix of coloured epoxy and selected aggregates (such as marble, mother of pearl, glass, granite, etc). After setting the mixture, the flooring is ground and polished, exposing the aggregate and delivering a smooth, decorative and hard-wearing floor finish. Epoxy terrazzo floors are not just highly decorative and very durable, they only require simple maintenance and have an outstanding life expectancy (upwards of 40 years). This floor system is ideal for large commercial venues thanks to its aesthetics, durability and lifespan.

Epoxy flake coatings are created with varying sizes of flakes scattered over a coloured epoxy base coat and finally finished with a tough resistant clear sealer. It produces a decorative floor finish that is easy to clean and has good resistance to foot traffic and chemicals.

The epoxy flake coating option is ideal for shops, showrooms, restaurants and schools among many other commercial venues.

Epoxy floor coatings are sometimes also referred to as epoxy paint or epoxy floor paint. The finishes generally come in a uniform single colour, and their finishing can be chosen to be matte, satin or glossy. Epoxy floor coatings are generally used for areas with light to medium level of activities, and these can be for industrial or commercial areas. Since there is a long list of varieties and options for epoxy coatings, it is better to check with a flooring specialist to get the best-matched flooring. Dependent on the environment’s purposes and functions, there would be a suitable flooring solution available to meet the requirements.

Self-levelling (SL) epoxy flooring is a category of flooring that has self-smoothing properties once poured onto the substrate. Generally, self-levelling systems are applied between 1 to 3mm and applied in liquid form for fast installation, resulting in a smooth, seamless finish. The resin-rich formulations of epoxy SL provide a very strong durable finish for heavy-duty demanding environments.

Epoxy screeds are part of a medium- to heavy-duty flooring system, and they are commonly used as a heavy-duty underlayment to receive a variety of resin flooring (such as anti-slip coatings, self-levelling epoxy coatings, etc). As a thicker type of flooring layer, an epoxy screed’s typical thickness is between 4mm and 6mm. Because epoxy screeds are thicker, they generally are to be trowel-applied, and may be power floated to produce a smooth, level finish.
