Maintenance Made Easy: Why Industrial Epoxy Flooring Saves You Time and Money

There’s no shortage of industrial flooring options out there, so how do you narrow down the array of flooring possibilities at your disposal? 

Answer: You focus on the flooring solutions that’ll save you time, money, and stress. When you have so many business-boosting tasks on your plate, you’ll want to choose a floor that is easy to install, elevates productivity, and has a positive impact on your bottom line.

Industrial epoxy flooring ticks all of those boxes and more, offering a highly durable, visually appealing flooring solution that won’t break the bank. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at just some of the ways that CoatMate’s industrial epoxy flooring has become the go-to option for businesses looking to minimise wear-and-tear and get as much ROI from their flooring as possible. 

Long-Lasting Flooring

Having reliable flooring is important, but it’s rarely at the top of a business’s priorities list. Once installed, you’ll want your flooring solution to be in place at your business for as long as possible.

Industrial epoxy flooring is highly durable and made to last. It’s not uncommon for epoxy flooring to last for 10 – 20 years, and in some cases even longer than that. While the precise lifespan of your epoxy flooring will depend on traffic intensity, chemical exposure, and other factors, you can expect your floor to be with you for many years to come.

At CoatMate, our industrial epoxy flooring has been designed and manufactured with heavy machinery and high foot traffic in mind, ensuring you get as much ROI from your investment as possible. 

Easy-to-Clean Flooring

Some flooring solutions require intense — and sometimes even professional — cleaning practices to stay in tip-top condition, but that’s not the case with industrial epoxy cleaning. 

At CoatMate, our epoxy flooring is known for being exceptionally easy to keep clean. In many cases, a little sweeping and mopping is all that’s required to keep the floor looking its best. 

Businesses that install epoxy flooring can avoid having to hire a specialist, expensive cleaning company to keep their floor clean, and nor do they need to spend longer than necessary undertaking the cleaning process themselves. 

Minimal Maintenance

As we’ve just said, industrial epoxy flooring is easy to clean. But it’s also relatively easy to keep damage-free, too. This type of resin flooring is extremely strong, making it highly unlikely that the floor will obtain any damages that require fixing. 

At CoatMate, our industrial epoxy flooring has been specially formulated to be resistant to heavy loads and abrasions, giving you confidence that your floor will be just as strong ten years down the line as it is on the first day of installation — and that means you’ll get to spend less (or, in fact, zero) time maintaining and repairing your flooring, and more time taking your business to new heights. 

Safer Working Environment

Employee safety is paramount for a number of reasons, the most important being that employers have a duty of care towards their workers. A single incident can be highly damaging to a business, which may need to shut down its operations during an investigation or pay compensation to the injured worker.

CoatMate’s industrial epoxy flooring features a slip-resistant super grip finish, reducing the risk of employee slips and falls. And that’s not all — productivity can increase when employees have confidence that they can move at their preferred pace without having to worry about slipping. 

Reduced Energy Bills

Most businesses choose industrial epoxy flooring because of its strength and durability, but it offers other benefits that can help businesses save time and money, too. For instance, epoxy’s reflective nature can help to enhance lighting efficiency, allowing businesses to save on the cost of lighting their facility. It’ll also regulate temperature, further helping to minimise energy bills.

The enhanced lighting can also lead to improved employee productivity. With greater illumination, they’ll more clearly be able to see where they’re going and have a reduced risk of committing errors. 

Fast Installation 

Some flooring types require significant downtime due to the sheer amount of time the installation process takes. That’s not the case with industrial epoxy flooring, which can be installed quickly and conveniently with minimal (or even zero) downtime. That essentially means that your business can continue its operations as normal, helping to boost revenue. Once the industry epoxy flooring has been laid, your employees will be able to begin walking on it within around 12 – 24 hours, with heavy machinery and vehicles permitted a few days later once the epoxy has fully cured.
