Epoxy floors prove popular as they offer a solid, protective surface that can outperform traditional types of residential flooring options. They also are a cost-effective approach to floor installations, as they require little maintenance to remain in good shape.

Although you will need to schedule care to preserve the area, most homeowners find it to be the most affordable option for new floors. When you need something unique inside that defends against moisture, impact damage, and even heat, epoxy remains the best choice.
