Material Description

Solid Epoxy Flooring

Solid epoxy flooring is a high-performance coating system that consists of two main components: epoxy resin and a hardening agent. These components are mixed together to where the epoxy resin acts as the base material which provides flexibility and adhesion. On the other hand, the hardening agent initiates the 24-72 hour curing process to enhance the epoxy’s strength and durability.

Unlike traditional floor coverings, such as tiles or carpets, our solid epoxy floor coating consists of a single layer of epoxy resin without any added aggregates or fillers. This floor coating also forms a monolithic layer that effectively blocks the penetration of liquids, stains, and chemicals. Moreover, the chemical structure of epoxy resin provides inherent resistance to scratches and abrasions, even in taxing environments. 

With regular cleaning and maintenance, including periodic resealing or recoating as needed, you can enjoy the benefits of your solid floor epoxy coating for over 20 years. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.

Why Invest in Solid Epoxy Floor Coating?

Apex Epoxy Flooring sources its solid epoxy flooring from Elitecrete, specifically utilizing the HERMETIC™ Neat Flooring Systems. This allows us to provide an additional 4x coating strength which is ideal for industrial applications. These benefits are made possible by the advanced cross-linking technology and engineering behind epoxy resin formulations.

High Gloss Finish

High Gloss Finish

Solid epoxy flooring is applied to the surface in a carefully controlled manner. This includes using diamond grinding

discs or pads to grind away imperfections, contaminants, and irregularities from the concrete surface. It also has inherent self-leveling epoxy floor properties, meaning it flows and spreads out evenly across the surface. Thus, creating a uniform layer that fills in any cracks, voids, or uneven areas, resulting in a smooth and glossy finish.

Low Odor

Low Odor

VOCs are chemicals that can evaporate into the air at room temperature which causes strong odors and potential

health hazards. Our flooring company sources our rock solid epoxy flooring from manufacturers that use epoxy resins with low levels of volatile organic compounds. Solid epoxy flooring systems from EliteCrete have gone through controlled temperature and humidity conditions and advanced curing processes to minimize odor emissions and ensure compliance with CA 01350 air quality.

Chemical Resistance

Chemical Resistance

Solid epoxy floor coating offers superior resistance to chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils.

This exceptional chemical resistance is attributed to the cross-linking properties of epoxy resin flooring, which forms a dense and impermeable surface that prevents corrosive substances from penetrating the substrate. This makes it an ideal choice for environments such as laboratories, garages, and industrial facilities where exposure to harsh chemicals is common.

Low Viscosity

Low
Viscosity

Clear epoxy resins used in this coating flooring system are often engineered to have a lower molecular weight and

optimized chemical structure. Thus, resulting in a more fluid consistency that promotes easy application and self-leveling properties. This ensures that the epoxy floor resin flows smoothly and evenly across the surface, filling in any cracks or imperfections to create a seamless finish.

UV Exposure Stability

UV Exposure
Stability

Solid epoxy flooring achieves UV exposure stability through the inclusion of UV-resistant additives like hindered

amine light stabilizers or UV absorbers. This component is responsible for preventing UV radiation from penetrating the epoxy base coat and causing degradation. In addition, specialized formulations of epoxy resin with cross-link density can enhance the coating’s inherent resistance to UV-induced damage.

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Solid epoxy floor coatings offer an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. This provides exceptional durability and

load-bearing capacity without adding significant weight to the structure. Our solid epoxy floor finish is engineered to support static loads ranging from 2,100-4,200 pounds per square inch (PSI).

Solid Epoxy Flooring vs Traditional Epoxy Flooring

Traditional epoxy flooring often relies upon and incorporates aggregates or fillers to enhance its durability. Solid epoxy flooring, on the other hand, consists of a single layer of epoxy resin without added materials. The absence of aggregates or fillers eliminates weak points or areas prone to delamination. This ensures a more cohesive and robust flooring system with the use of solid epoxy flooring.

Moreover, this also creates a seamless surface that minimizes the risk of cracks, chips, or abrasions, as there are no discontinuities for damage to propagate. The homogeneous composition of solid epoxy flooring enhances its chemical resistance and reduces the likelihood of wear over time.

Our epoxy floor contractors near you can easily assess your space and provide the solutions that you need.

Yes, solid epoxy flooring is safe for home use when installed and maintained properly. Our solid epoxy for floors is non-toxic and low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safe for indoor environments like garage floor coating. Moreover, these coatings have resistance to mold, mildew, and bacteria growth, contributing to better indoor air quality. Give us a call today to get your solid epoxy floor coating installed professionally and to appropriate ventilation during the curing process.

Yes, epoxy can be applied over grouted tile surfaces to create a seamless and durable flooring solution. However, proper surface preparation is crucial to ensure adhesion and longevity. The tile surface should be thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and lightly sanded to promote adhesion. Any loose or damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before applying the epoxy coating. Feel free to contact us at Apex Epoxy Flooring for solid epoxy floor coating installation over grouted tiles.

The cost of solid epoxy flooring can vary depending the size of the area to be coated, the condition of the substrate, the complexity of the installation, and any additional customization or features desired. Other factors such as the type and quality of epoxy materials used like metallic epoxy or epoxy flakes, as well as labor costs, can also impact the overall cost of the project.
