This synthetic chemical is made from the organic component Bisphenol A diglycidyl Ether (BADGE) that can solidify into plastic. Depending on the proportion of bisphenol A to epichlorohydrin used, the epoxy resin that is produced can either have a mean molecular weight that causes it at room temperature with a mean molecular weight that causes it to be solid at room temperature.

Different Types of Epoxy Flooring

Lee’s Summit Epoxy flooring allows you to customize your floors into a broad selection of colors, styles, effects, and decorative choices. 

Epoxy Terrazzo Flooring 

This type of epoxy flooring, which gets its name from the word terrazzo, uses various materials that can either be poured in place or precast beforehand. Some of the utilized materials include marble, quartz, glass, granite, and any other suitable materials. The epoxy terrazzo flooring features a stunningly patterned surface that has been finished to a mesmerizing reflective quality.

Self-leveling (SL) Epoxy Flooring

These systems, which as their name suggests, automatically self-level to generate an even surface, are superior to other forms of flooring that tend to be uneven because they are superior because their name implies it.

Lee’s Summit Epoxy flooring self-levels are rather popular because it is smooth and resistant to slipping. A floor is considered self-leveling if it has a thickness of at least 2 millimeters.

Epoxy flooring that self-levels has a fondness in various commercial and industrial settings, including restaurants, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, showrooms, and commercial garages.

Antistatic Epoxy Flooring

As their name implies, these epoxy flooring can withstand the buildup of electrostatic charge (ESD). ESD is a phenomenon that can manifest itself in a highly severe form in environments that contain a significant number of insulators and conductors. When two things, including humans, come into contact with one another and cause an electrical current to pass between them, this is known as electrostatic discharge.

The heat produced as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is so powerful that it can cause electronic devices to fail, vaporize things, and even cause serious injury to people. Antistatic epoxy flooring, which has a core of conductive substance, can prevent these problems from recurring in the future. The electrical current will be drained completely or dispersed after being absorbed and dissipated by this conductive layer. As a direct consequence, there is no negative impact.

Epoxy resin screeds

The anti-slip qualities of an epoxy screed make it ideal for forklift traffic zones in heavy industrial applications like engineering and processing sectors. These screeds are great for workshops, loading bays with a lot of traffic, and quaysides because they can withstand substantial impacts and moving loads. They are also widely used in the automotive industry.

Epoxy resin flooring is beneficial, but it can also be pretty, like self-smoothing epoxy floors with a high gloss finish. These floors are suitable for food preparation areas and clean rooms because they are easy to clean. For damaged floors, resin mortars, and concretes that match, we can use the color of the damaged concrete floors and resin screeds to fix them without breaking the bank.

The Nature of Epoxy Flooring

DURABILITY

Epoxy flooring’s durability can last a lifetime. It is widely known that the floor is one of the most used parts of a home or any building structure. So, with epoxy flooring, we want the best for our floor. Epoxy floors are five times thicker than regular paint, according to Robex contracting LTD (2020), and can withstand high quantities of foot traffic and heavy industrial equipment being moved about. 

AESTHETIC APPEARANCE

Lee’s Summit Epoxy floorings offer various looks with your epoxy flooring. With the freedom and flexibility of epoxy, different patterns can be accomplished and molded into the style you desire. We also provide a Graveled epoxy design with flaked chips and polyaspartic coating technology if you are curious about a more sophisticated appearance.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Another advantage of Lee’s Summit Epoxy flooring system is that it can be chemical resistant. Epoxy, just like other polymers, is also naturally resistant to different chemicals. According to Arcon Supplies (2021), epoxy flooring has exceptional resistance to aqueous acids and alkalis, fats, lubricant, general fluids, oil, salt, and sugar solutions. This is because epoxy is a synthetic thermosetting epoxide polymer. When it cures over time, it cannot return to its original form, making it more durable and chemical resistant. 

SAFETY AND LOW MAINTENANCE

Most of the moment, when it comes to caring for floors, most people don’t give it much time and effort. Epoxy flooring allows for very little maintenance to keep it clean. That is why big companies love epoxy flooring so much. Because of the epoxy’s properties, epoxy flooring can become slip-resistant; this is good for the safety of the people working, significantly when different types of liquid get dropped to the floor, and they may have no time to clean it up.
