What Are the Different Types of Epoxy Flooring Systems?
Do you need a flooring system that is rugged enough to withstand heavy traffic conditions while still maintaining a high-gloss shine? Epoxy flooring might be what you need. Epoxy flooring solutions are designed to resist moisture intrusion, chemical damage, stains, microbes, and day-to-day wear-and-tear. We use products that are VOC-compliant and 100 percent solids to give you safe, sturdy, seamless flooring solutions that are attractive and suitable for nearly any environment.
Several types of epoxy floor systems are available, including:
Solid Epoxy Flooring
Solid epoxy offers incredible flexibility combined with matchless chemical resistance and superior slip-resistance.

As with the other types of epoxy flooring, chip floors consist of multiple layers of 100 percent solids epoxy that are combined with vinyl flakes and sealed with UV- and chemical-resistant topcoats to create a terrazzo-like aesthetic.
