Epoxy Flooring is a type of floor coating that can be applied over concrete floors to create a smooth, seamless, durable, low maintenance flooring surface. The two most commonly applied epoxy flooring systems are Roller applied epoxy and Self Leveling Epoxy.
Self Leveling Floors tend to leave a perfectly smooth finish where surface uneveness and imperfections are not visible. Meanwhile roller applied epoxies tend to leave a roller mark or slightly rougher texture also known as the orange peel effect. Roller applied epoxies are normally thinner, therefore a perfectly smooth surface cannot be achieved. Self leveling epoxy flooring is ideal for situations where the flooring required to have a high level of aesthetic appeal as well as abrasion resistance and durability.
Polyurethane flooring is a type of cement based self leveling flooring compound, more tolerance to moisture; therefore it suitable for wet processing environment. They are more flexible and therefore more scratch resistant. PU flooring can also absorb impact much better than epoxy flooring. The following are some of the main benefits of self leveling epoxy floors and PU floors:
For Self leveling epoxy flooring
High gloss, appealing finish
smooth, seamless finish (Easy maintenance)
Chemical resistance
Variable thicknesses for versatile application
For PU flooring
Matte finish
High scratch and impact resistance
Slip resistant
smooth, seamless finish (Easy maintenance)
Chemical and heat resistance
Variable thicknesses for versatile application
