Many carparks in Sydney are simply concrete or polished concrete. However, some do opt to utilise an epoxy coating on their surfaces.
These are some of the pros and cons of epoxy that you need to know.
The Pros
It Protects Your Concrete Surfaces
Epoxy flooring will ensure that your concrete is protected at all times.
This material ensures that your surfaces are protected from all sorts of damage, as well as moisture, stains, grease and the cracks that moisture can cause.
Creating a protective layer on top of your concrete means that you’re creating an added layer of peace of mind.
Longevity
An epoxy coating will make sure that your concrete lives longer! As well as that, epoxy itself lasts longer than other types of floor coatings.
The beauty of the material is that it can last many years without cracking or peeling off your concrete. However, it does require expert installation.
That’s why at Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we always attack every project with the utmost professionalism.
Affordable
Epoxy sealing for your floor is always an affordable option.
This solution can be placed right on top of your concrete, without any expensive underlay or other materials.
When it comes to pricing, epoxy is tough to beat.
The Cons
The Squeak Factor!
It’s a small one, but epoxy flooring can contribute to more noise pollution in your carpark.
The nature of the material means that tyres will make a lot of noise when turning. However, it’s a very small price to pay considering the benefits.
To ensure the epoxy coating is laid properly in your Sydney carpark, hire a professional contractor like Sydney Sweep and Scrub.
The Smell
Epoxy has a distinct chemical smell. However, this smell is only present when the epoxy is wet. That means that no one else will have to smell it!
Therefore, you can rest easy knowing that this won’t even be a factor once the epoxy is dry and you are back in your carpark.
Replacement in the Future
Epoxy coatings will eventually require replacement in the future.
That’s one drawback that some other flooring options don’t have. However, it’s good to keep in mind that when you do have your epoxy floors done again, it will be very affordable.
