Epoxy, also known as buna-c or urethane, is a polymer that is made up of organic chemicals that are mixed together under high pressure. The process of creating epoxy flooring involves combining the urethane with the binder and curing agent substances. This polymer is then often colored and textured, creating an extremely durable, long-lasting, and resistant flooring surface. Epoxy is non-porous and resists most acids, alkalis, and other chemicals, making it an ideal flooring option for areas that see frequent spills or other damage. Epoxy flooring is gaining popularity as a choice for residential projects in recent years. We shall dive into some top tips to choose the color of your epoxy floors. 

Consider the purpose of the space

Choose an epoxy color that suits the purpose of the space. If the epoxy flooring is for a garage/basement, choose bold colors like black/slate grey that can easily mask the tire marks. Neutral colors suit commercial spaces to hide dirt and scratches. You can enjoy the freedom of choosing colors in residential spaces to match your style. 

Consider the lighting of the space

Metallic shades will not suit spaces with enough natural lighting. Light shades are the best for spaces with insufficient lighting. Natural light and artificial light can change the way a color appears, so it’s important to view samples in the actual space before making a final decision.

Consider the room ambiance

If the walls have a wooden finish, a sawdust color for the epoxy floors will be the best. Take into consideration the design of the space, give attention to wall color, decors, and accessories, and choose a color that compliments the design.

Consider Maintenance

The beauty and durability of epoxy floors depend on maintenance. Some colors are more prone to showing scratches or dirt, while others are easier to clean and maintain. Darker colors look nice with minimum maintenance.
