Epoxy flooring is a liquid compound of resins and hardeners that are poured over a surface to create a seamless flooring system. Most epoxy mixtures are chemical-resistant, heat-resistant, damage-resistant, and easy to clean and care for.

Depending on everyday use and occasional maintenance, quality epoxy flooring generally lasts between 5 to 7 years. There are many elements that play a key role in the longevity of an epoxy floor system, including surface preparation, specified thickness, foot traffic, and more.
