The appearance of a workplace has a big impact on customer experience on your insurer clients.
A clean, well-lit and well-maintained workshop will be more likely to impress than one with visible signs of wear.
Floors are a huge part of a shop’s overall appearance and endure the most wear and tear, so it is important to find the best solution to improve its durability and appearance.
While more expensive than simply painting a concrete floor it can save in the downtime required for regular painting.
Epoxy floor coatings are a multilayered, hardwearing surface that can be bonded to existing floors. The coating offers a chemically resistant, non-slip surface that improves both safety and efficiency in the workplace and saves on maintenance and cleaning costs, as well as improving the overall shop appearance.
Benefits of epoxy floor coatings:
- Easy to clean – epoxy floors are seamless, so dirt and chemicals can be easily wiped off
- Resistant to water and chemicals
- Improved safety – epoxy floors are non-slip, heat and fire resistant and has decreased impact on vehicles for less floor damage
- Reduced wear and tear – the strong, durable surface results in a reduction of track marks on high-traffic areas
- High-gloss shine with different colours and styles available, so marking up different working areas and traffic flow is easier
- Bonds to existing floors, no need to replace
- Easy application – epoxy floors are self-levelling and usually take up to one week to install
- Improves brightness with a reflective surface, lowering overall energy consumption
- Environmentally friendly – less water is needed to clean the surface
- Long life expectancy
Investing in epoxy floor coatings means a reduction in labour time for maintenance and a brighter working area that is both presentable and safe, say the manufacturers.
The high-gloss shine is offered with a variety of colour options available, you can also choose to have your logo marked on your floor.
Eclipse Environmental Services is one company that sells and applies this product. Its Ecoepoxy offers multilayer floor coatings with high silica content to maximise light reflectance in the work area.
An additional final, clear layer increases reflection and longevity of the surface and reduces maintenance costs.
Painting the walls and ceilings and introducing LED lighting can make further improvements to natural light levels.
The coatings take about a week to install.
