Are Epoxy Resin Floors Safe?
Yes – epoxy resin floors are an incredibly safe option for businesses, for several reasons. Our experts break down the safety features of resin flooring.
Anti-slip
Despite an appearance that is as smooth as glass, epoxy resin floors can be installed with anti-slip additives to ensure a safe workplace environment. Whilst a dry epoxy resin floor shouldn’t be a slip hazard, if you work in an environment where your floor is likely to be exposed to water, oil or chemicals often, then it’s worth considering anti-slip additives.
Fire resistant
Epoxy resin floors have a very high resistance to thermal shock, both hot and cold. Epoxy resin floors also do not burn easily, which limits the rapid spread of a potential fire throughout your establishment, making it easier to control. Don’t hesitate to contact our team of specialist resin flooring contractors for further details regarding the thermal efficiency and fire safety performance of our epoxy floor screeds.
Hygienic
Epoxy resin floors are a popular choice in hospitals and food storage areas because they do not harbour any bacteria or germs. The surface of a hygienic epoxy resin floor is totally seamless, which unlike other flooring options like tiles, provides no gaps or crevices for bacteria to develop. Epoxy resin’s superior resistance to chemicals also means that you can thoroughly clean your floor regularly without worrying about damaging the surface.
