It also durable enough to make cleaning up car spills or sticky food a snap.
Affordability

Resistance
Putting down epoxy floors in basements, garages and other cement-floored rooms offers a resistance not found with other options. It’s frequently pulled in professional garages and automotive shops because it can stand up to chemical spills, cleaners, moisture and heat. Kitchens and restaurants choose to put epoxy floors in their back of house spaces because they are resistant to bacteria and germs. Hospitals and clinics choose epoxy for the ability to sanitize the floors.
Durability
The only flooring more sturdy then epoxy is concrete. Adding epoxy adds texture to avoid slipping and gives concrete an additional layer of protection. Epoxy can stand up to cars rolling over it, and provide a non-skid floor for hospital triage rooms.
Protective
Putting epoxy floors in your basement in particular is useful in that it will prevent moisture, grease, stains and cracks. The epoxy provides a moisture barrier that typically comes with subterranean room. This will help your room be more warm and comfortable during the cold months.
Longevity
With proper care and professional installation, epoxy floor options can easily last for several decades before and repairs are necessary. Many commercial spaces choose to add epoxy to their floors for the durability and other benefits, in addition to the lifespan.
