Floor Systems
Both get called epoxy floors. They behave very differently. Here is what each system is actually good at and where each one falls short.
Surface Prep

Floor Systems
Flake, solid colour, quartz, or metallic. The right system depends on how you use the space, what you want it to look like, and what the slab will support.
Maintenance
A well-installed epoxy floor needs almost no maintenance. Here is what actually matters, what to avoid, and how to keep it looking good for years.
