Five-Star Epoxy Floors

In many areas, flooring takes a lot of wear and tear after extended use. This is particularly the case in spaces like kitchens, garages, and storage areas, where heavy materials or constant footfalls occur. One service that is gaining more popularity across New Orleans is epoxy finished floors. This is essentially a stain on your cement or concrete floors which can be imbued with certain colors or textures that gives a distinguishing shine to the floor - changing the feel of the whole room. The epoxy acts as a natural protection for the floors. If you'd like to get into the details of epoxy floors we've written a detailed description of the pros/cons here.  Our epoxy floor contractor team is capable of giving your floor an extra protective layer that can drastically alter its durability in the long run. At Eagle Construction we are broadly considered the leading epoxy floor contractor in the New Orleans area. Please look at our slideshow of some of our recent projects and reach out if you have specific questions about the process or for a quote. 

What is an Epoxy Floor Coating?

Before we get into the various benefits associated with an epoxy coating application for your floor, let’s first look at exactly what it is. An epoxy coating is a type of synthetic resin that is applied in order to deliver additional protective and decorative qualities. Epoxy is created from a combination of polymer resins and hardeners, which react and bond with the underlying flooring to create a solid outer shell. Epoxy floor coatings can be transparent, although it’s possible to have a particular style or color installed if that’s your preference. There are hundreds of types of styles to choose from.

Super Strength

In spaces where lots of heavy work is taking place, it’s normal for accidents to happen as well. There’s a good chance that you’ll drop something heavy in a workspace, while garages often have to deal with he presence of vehicles – both great and small – which can easily damage the underlying flooring. Luckily, that’s not going to happen if you install an epoxy coating. It adds considerable strength to your floor, making it far more durable and capable of withstanding heavy impacts. This not only means that your floor will retain its condition in the short term, but that you can expect a longer lifespan from your setup as well.

Chemical Resistance

Physical resilience is one thing, but chemical resilience is something else entirely. As with heavy impacts, it’s not unlikely that your garage, workshop, or commercial workspace could be home to hazardous, dangerous substances, and that these substances could easily damage the flooring in the space. An epoxy coating gives further protection against such forces, and will save you many future headaches.

Aesthetic Excellence

While epoxy coatings are primarily practical additions, it’s worth noting that they can really transform the look of your flooring as well. Our epoxy garage floor installers could give you a gleaming, glistening garage floor that will be the envy of your neighbors, and they’re equally well-equipped to help with commercial spaces too. You have plenty of colors and styles to choose from – it’s down to your preferences.

There are so many reasons that epoxy floors are a great investment and aesthetic contribution to your home and it's design. We've written up a bit more detailed look at some of the benefits of epoxy floors here as opposed to wood or vinyl floors for those looking to dive deep into what has been keeping epoxy floors top of mind for so many designers and homeowners.

We are looking forward to learning about your project!
