To get all the answers you need in one place, contact a professional about the value of concrete floors for your business or home needs. One of the more popular options today is Ottawa epoxy flooring.

Epoxy is a combination of resins and hardeners that will coat the concrete with plastic. This makes it more durable. It is very compatible with other types of base layers, and that adds to its preference, especially for commercial and industrial facilities. As you become more observant, you will notice polished epoxy concrete in medical practices, sporting facilities, retail shops, and more.

Epoxy finishes options for concrete floors

Epoxy floors and coatings

Epoxy comes in various options, and the purpose of your space will determine the best choice for you. Epoxy floors are a minimum of two millimetres thick. Anything less qualifies it as an epoxy coating.

Self-smoothing

Epoxy flooring between two and four millimetres thick is called a self-smoothing floor and a smooth surface. It is used in situations that require minimal dust and good hygiene. It is offered in a good range of colours and can be finished as matte or glossy. It is low maintenance.

Quartz Screed

This is applied using a hand trowel through a compacted screed (a back and forth motion to level and even the concrete). It produces a solid and seamless floor. It takes between four to six millimetres of depth and is highly impact-resistant, abrasion, and chemical solutions. It is used in many commercial kitchens and pharmaceutical facilities.

Resin Screed

This application uses dust-resistant diamond grinding to provide a flawless finish. The contractor will use a trowel specific to this process. This is very durable and can be used in business office spaces as well as retail establishments, shops, labs, or other commercial enterprises.

Resin Terrazzo

Using marble chips, this provides a colourful finish, much like a terrazzo tile flooring. Available in 27 different colours, it has five marble options. It is six millimetres deep. You will notice this in many lobbies and entryways.

Getting Ottawa epoxy floors
