Resin floors at home – invention, trend or functionality?

Resin floors guarantee cleanliness

In the case of resin coatings, we obtain smooth surfaces, without joints and without recesses, which means that the floor can be easily cleaned and bacteria and germs have nowhere to hide. Everyone knows the problem of darkening joints, which are difficult to restore to their original appearance after some time. Spilled juice on grout, resulting in stains? From now on, this doesn't have to be a problem. The products proposed below are most suitable for use at home because they are resistant to frequent cleaning, which allows for easy and pleasant keeping order in our home.  

To ensure comfort during application and taking into account all the criteria from the first paragraph, we present and low-odor systems .

Easy renovation

Another undeniable advantage of resin floors is their ease of application. Changing the tiles in an apartment is always a huge dilemma, because it is quite a time-consuming and demanding process. Additionally, the renovated room is out of use for a long time, often resulting in clutter throughout the house . In the case of renovation of resin coatings - it is quite quick because we apply a new coating on the existing coating after appropriate preparation. In such a situation, changing the color of the floor or making it shiny again and thus refreshing our apartment is not a problem.

Solvent-free epoxy resin Neopox SF Plus

If we have some free time for a planned renovation, we can use Neopox SF Plus , which requires 7 days fully harden . It is a solvent-free , which means that there is no irritating smell during application. If you want to save tiles or protect new concrete, there is no problem. Neopox SF Plus resin can be applied to a variety of substrates. To make this possible, just use an appropriate primer: Super Binder R03333 Epoxol Primer SF for concrete . System primers are also low-odor , which allows us to go through the entire process safely and smoothly. The ease of application is due to the fact that the product is applied with a roller. The statement that resin coatings are resistant to various chemicals is confirmed by the chemical resistance table included in the technical data sheet, which can be found on the product page.

Key features: 

• high chemical resistance,
• high mechanical resistance (application in thick layers),
• low-odor product - does not contain solvents,
• thermal resistance range from -30 ° C to 100 ° C,
• coating finish: gloss,
• is certified by the National Institute of Hygiene. 

Neopox SF Plus is perfect for places such as laboratories, industrial halls, garages, warehouses, factories, slaughterhouses, hospitals, schools and parking lots.

Fast-drying Neodur Fast Track SF resin

The second solution, which will also work well at home, is to use the quick-drying Neodur Fast Track SF . A big advantage when choosing this product is the short application time of the coating - only 9 hours . Neodur Fast Track SF is also a solvent-free , which means that there is no unpleasant odor during application. When first contacting this resin, we recommend applying it with a roller , but if someone likes challenges and wants to try their hand at it, this product can also be applied with a trowel in a thicker layer. As in the case of Neopox SF Plus, this resin is used to protect new and previously used surfaces such as tiles and concrete (requires use with an appropriate primer). Neodur Fast Track SF resin coating is characterized by high chemical resistance and resistance to damage (resistance tables can be found in the product's technical data sheet).

Key features:

• applied in one, thick layer using a trowel/squeegee (thanks to this, we obtain a coating as thick as when applying two separate layers),
• created on the basis of a purely aliphatic resin containing UV filters, making it resistant to sunlight,
• cures quickly, no longer sticky after 3 hours, allowing most projects to be completed within 1 day,
• high resistance to abrasion and mechanical loads,
• shows high chemical resistance to diluted acids, alkalis, car oils and gasoline.

Neodur Fast Track SF will be a very good solution in places such as warehouse ramps, garages, terraces, parking lots, warehouses and production halls, external and internal floors, goods storage areas, gas stations and laundries.

Solvent-free epoxy resin Epoxol Floor

This is a good option for people who like classics. Like Neopox SF Plus and Neodur Fast Track SF, it is a solvent-free epoxy resin. What distinguishes it from other products is the possibility of applying it as a self-leveling screed . By maintaining the optimal temperature (20°C) and correct application, we can obtain so-called mirror panes on our floor. Once fully hardened, Epoxol Floor Since it is a self-leveling resin, its application is slightly different from products applied with a roller. Epoxol Floor is poured on the surface, then spread with a trowel, and at the end there is the most important element, i.e. deaeration with a spiked roller .

Key features:

• approved for pedestrian traffic after 24 hours (at a temperature of 25°C),
• certificate for contact with food and alcohol and PZH certificate,
• excellent abrasion resistance,
• high durability and resistance to chemicals (alkalis, dilute acids, gasoline, oils and many solvents),
• faster application compared to ceramic tiles,
• covers minor imperfections in the concrete floor.

The products listed are not the only systems that can be used at home. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the offer of our decorative resins - non-standard and extremely interesting solutions. These include Epoxol Design and Epoxol 3D .

If we want long-term protection of our home surfaces, the above-mentioned solutions will be perfect. Their properties will certainly save us time and nerves when cleaning. This will definitely have a positive impact on our well-being and health. In turn, the extraordinary durability of the above-mentioned systems will allow us to enjoy our floors for many years.
