Epoxy resin flooring was in the recent past a rare flooring option but now has become one of the preferred choices in the contemporary design schemes. There are several resin finishes that you can opt for; you can get a polished matte, neutral or bright and in whatever colour you prefer. The practicality in resin is what makes it a perfect option; it is stain and dirt resistant and thus the best option for areas that experience high foot and vehicle traffic.  Resin is also hypoallergenic and therefore a perfect replacement for carpets on floors. This type of finish can work with all types of underfloor heating.

 

What is resin made of? 

Resin is made from synthetic materials like epoxy resins, polyurethane. Before you pour it on the surface, you must make sure it’s perfectly flat.  

Resin is waterproof; no matter the intensity of wetness that it is exposed to, this surface doesn’t get weak. Again, its surface is anti-slip and this when you have it; you have minimal cases of accidents. The tenacity with this kind of a floor makes it last for long even with lots of traffic.  

Resin can also be installed on any substrate as long as there is no moisture or movement. It also adapts to the room’s temperature and therefore it makes the home warm during the winter months.
