Types of Epoxy Resin Garage Floors
One important issue to consider when you want to install a resin garage floor is the style and thickness of the flooring.
Basically, there are three main types or epoxy resin garage floors you can choose from. They are;
-
Single-floor epoxy resin garage floors
-
Wear-Resistant (WR) garage floors
-
Explosion-Proof (EP) garage floors
The Single-floor epoxy floors are mainly used in commercial settings. They are usually designed with no under-floor protection. They are not also ideal for high traffic areas or areas that see a lot of dirt. This is because it is not so easy to clean these floors.
However, they are very durable, having a class 1 wear rating and can also withstand up to one million footsteps. Also, they can easily withstand hot tyres without flaking or peeling meaning that your garage floor remains in perfect condition.
Wear-Resistant garage floors on the other hand are not to be confused with the Explosion-proof floors even though they are installed using similar construction techniques. Both types also have an under-floor protection (usually concrete) over which the resin surface material is laid.
For the Explosion-proof floors, the surface material is sprayed twice to allow aggregates of different sizes to form an effective overlap to ensure a conducive surface with good oil/spill resistance, abrasion resistance and compression.
While Wear-Resistant garage floors focuses on pressure resistance and wear resistance of the ground, explosion-proof floors are mainly used to prevent explosion, focussing on safety production performance.
