Epoxy coatings are synonymous with durable and resilient flooring solutions. Human innovation has led to unconventional uses of epoxy. While plain concrete and architectural metals are common applications for epoxy coatings, people want to bring the strength of epoxy to many different surfaces. The only issue is that if epoxy coatings are going to stick well and last a long time, only certain surfaces are suitable without a lot of preparation.
Understanding Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy coatings are primarily designed for protecting concrete floors, particularly in high-traffic areas. The unique blend of resins and hardeners creates a robust surface, resistant to moisture, stains, and abrasion. Their aesthetic appeal and customizable nature further add to their popularity. The only surfaces that easily work with epoxy coatings, however, are the following:
- concrete
- laminate
- tile
- glass
- Formica
- MDF board
- metal
For any other surfaces, such as wood or plywood, preparation with primers and sealers is necessary. If you are interested in discussing alternative applications for epoxy coatings, you can certainly discuss them with Nevada Custom Coatings, but be prepared for us to tell you that other solutions are likely easier to apply and less expensive to use.
Epoxy Flooring is Best on the Floor
One alternative application of epoxy coatings is coved flooring. This extends your epoxy coating along the bottom of your wall for several inches, providing protection for the structure of your home, office, kitchen, or workspace. With certain additives that stabilize the wet epoxy against the forces of gravity, you can even go higher up the wall.
