Question #1
Difference between epoxy floor coating or flooring
Is 2mm difference. While we often use the terms interchangeably, your epoxy application must be at least two millimeters thick for it to count as “flooring.” Anything less is an epoxy “coating.” The difference? Epoxy flooring provides added structural support, while a coating is just creates a protective layer. |
Question #2
Solid epoxy: Epoxy that is solid is the purest form. It doesn't contain solvents that evaporate. These products are expensive, and difficult to handle, because they harden very rapidly. This finish should be applied by a professional.
Solvent-base epoxy: Solvent-base epoxies contain 40-60% solids. They penetrate the concrete surface and adhere well. They are available in a wide range of colors. Because the solvents are powerful and potentially hazardous, you must wear a respirator when applying the finish. You'll also need to ventilate the garage and keep people and pets away from the area.
Water-base epoxy: Like solvent-base epoxies, water-base epoxies also contain 40-60% solids. The benefit of this type of epoxy is having no hazardous solvent fumes. These epoxy finishes are sold at most home centers and hardware stores and are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to solvent-based finishes.
Pre-tinted and metallic epoxy floor coatings are other options that create stylish flooring inside and outside living areas. Some epoxy floor coating systems provide colored flakes, which are scattered as the second layer of coating is applied, creating speckled patterns in the surface.
