Why Epoxy Warehouse flooring is highly recommended over tiles and vinyl
No matter what type of facilities, whether restaurants, offices, medical facilities, retail or storage rooms, floors need to be durable. Each space has different requirements, so not every flooring solution will suit your needs.
Next, we will examine the pros and cons of the three main options available: tiles, vinyl, and epoxy. This will help you choose the best solution for your floor.
Tiles
The biggest advantage of using tiles is their aesthetic appeal. You have a wide range of colours and patterns to choose from, allowing you to find the sizes and materials to achieve the look you love for your space.
Whilst tiles look good, and surface spills and dust can be wiped away easily, the final installation is not seamless. Tiles may look good when they are first installed; however, constant traffic and exposure to contaminants such as waste or cleaning chemicals can stain the grout lines, making the floor look unclean.
When it comes to commercial floors, tiles can become unhygienic very quickly. There is a high chance of water penetrating the grout lines and joins, allowing bacteria to breed and spread.
Tiles are also not practical if exposed to heavy mechanical and temperature impacts, as they are easily cracked and broken. If unattended, this can create safety and health concerns and be costly to repair.
While tile may provide options in terms of aesthetics, most commercial environments need to meet strict safety and health requirements, which tiles may not necessarily meet.
Vinyl
Vinyl is a popular choice for medical facilities, commercial kitchens, and schools. However, it must be installed correctly. If done right, this style is water-resistant and handy in many situations.
Vinyl is highly durable and resilient to most oils and chemicals, and it is easy to clean and maintain.
However, vinyl is only a thin material, so it is prone to wear. As it is not seamless and tends to lift or start peeling, bacteria can breed and spread rapidly in these areas.
Vinyl may have a significant hygiene issue, making vinyl inappropriate anywhere where strict hygiene standards must be met. Vinyl peeling may create a trip hazard for workers and the public.
The other important consideration with vinyl is that it cannot withstand heavy loads or impacts.
Epoxy
Recently, epoxy floor coatings have gained popularity as a commercial flooring option as they are highly customizable and easy to maintain. There are many coating options, and clients can select a product based on its chemical, impact, and slip resistance to meet the needs of the area.
Epoxy coatings are also 100 per cent seamless, which makes them completely impervious to liquids and leaves no place for bacteria to breed. They can also be used for rehabilitation and new installations.
Many epoxy variations are available to provide the best possible solution for the commercial environment. These benefits include non-slip, chemical resistance, mechanical and temperature impact resistance, traffic resistance, dustproof, oil and grease resistance.
There are also many options available to customise the floor aesthetic. Epoxy floor applications come in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Here is a small sample of the epoxy colour range available to you.
As with any flooring solution, preparation and installation is crucial.
Selecting a high-quality product and experienced installers should be the priority.
For this reason, Wizcrete Concrete Solutions has a strong and trusted network of trained applicators throughout Australia to assist with factory floor and warehouse floor applications.
The Advantages & Applications of Epoxy Flooring in an Industrial Environment
Flooring is an important consideration in the internal design of commercial warehouses, offices, retail stores, and storage rooms.
All in all, the above flooring is subject to a lot of wear and tear, and therefore, the choice of the correct flooring is crucial since it is part of the initial investment and is often spread across a large area.
One of the most widely used flooring options is epoxy flooring.
This choice revolves around the facts that epoxy flooring:
- is highly durable;
- requires minimum maintenance; and
- is environmentally friendly.
Hence, it is the recommended flooring option for both residential buildings and industries. Epoxy floor coatings are usually applied over concrete floors to provide the best binding results and aesthetically attractive surfaces.
The term epoxy refers to a form of catalysed plastic. It is basically a resin and is typically a compound of bisphenol-A and a polyamine.
Generally, the polyamines are used to harden the surface or the floor.
A catalytic reaction occurs when the resin and hardener combine.
They bind to each other and create a chemical crosslink that is high in strength.
This binding technology is the reason why epoxies can be recoated in a short period of time.

There are three main types of epoxy for flooring.
100% solids epoxy is the best choice as it performs the best.
Water—and solvent-based epoxies are considered user-friendly, but they are not as durable and cannot be applied as a thick coating like the 100% solids ones.
The solid epoxies capably meet all the stringent requirements that are to be complied with when designing an industrial floor.
It offers strong adhesion, excellent chemical resistance, and toughness. Further, epoxy floors are generally abrasion-resistant, waterproof, heat-resistant, and resistant to the action of corrosives like acids and alkalis.
They are non-toxic when dry and can be used safely even in residential projects.
One of the main advantages of epoxy flooring is the ease of maintenance.
Concrete floors need appropriate protection, and an epoxy floor is the best choice to offer protection against abrasion, chemical attack, and thermal shock, which are commonly experienced in an industrial setting.
