Introduction: Hey there! I’m Chris, the Operations Manager at Qepoxy, and I’ve got an exciting story to share with you. Over the past ten years, resin flooring has gone from being a hidden gem to a total rockstar in the flooring world. In this blog post, let’s dive into the incredible growth and changes that have made resin flooring a go-to choice for all sorts of spaces and industries.
- Taking Over New Territories:
Resin flooring has been on a roll, expanding its horizons and reaching places we never expected. Sure, it started off as a tough guy in industrial and commercial spaces, known for its strength and resistance to chemicals. But guess what? It has now made its grand entrance into residential homes, hospitals, schools, and even funky creative spaces. Talk about versatility. Resin flooring has adapted to suit different needs while still giving that seamless, beautiful finish we all crave.
2. Embracing Technological Marvels:
Technology has played a massive role in resin flooring’s growth spurt. Manufacturers have been working tirelessly to improve their products, and boy, have they succeeded! Epoxy and polyurethane resin systems have become tougher than ever, with better impact resistance and longer lifespans. Plus, they’ve added cool stuff like additives and pigments that open up a world of design possibilities. Imagine all the colours, patterns, and textures you can have with resin flooring. It’s like an artist’s dream come true.
3. Going Green and Clean: Resin flooring is not just about toughness and beauty; it’s also getting eco-friendly. With sustainability becoming a buzzword, resin flooring has stepped up its game. There are waterbased epoxy options and low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) formulations available now, making it a greener choice for the environmentally conscious. Not only does it help the planet, but it also ensures healthier air quality indoors. That’s a win-win, my friends.
4. Low Maintenance, High Style:
Who wants to spend hours scrubbing floors? Not me, and definitely not you! Resin flooring gets you, which is why it’s so low-maintenance and easy to keep clean. Say goodbye to those annoying grout lines and tricky spots that gather dirt and bacteria. Resin flooring is seamless and non-porous, making it a breeze to sweep and mop. Whether it’s a food processing facility or a fancy laboratory, resin flooring keeps things hygienic without breaking a sweat.
5. Unleashing the Creative Beast:
Resin flooring has gone from being a reliable sidekick to the superhero of style. The design options are mind-blowing! We’re not just talking about plain old colors here (although they’re fantastic too). Resin flooring lets you unleash your creativity with stunning metallic effects, jaw-dropping graphics, and all sorts of finishes. It’s like having an artist’s palette right under your feet. Businesses and homeowners alike are embracing resin flooring to create jawdropping spaces that turn heads.
6. Advancements in Anti-Microbial Technologies.
Resin flooring has come a long way when it comes to keeping spaces clean and germ-free. Thanks to new anti-microbial technology, it’s no longer just about durability and resistance — it now offers enhanced benefits for hygiene. The cool thing about modern resin flooring is that it incorporates special stuff like additives and coatings with anti-microbial agents. These agents are like little warriors that fight against bacteria, fungi, and other yucky microorganisms on the floor. They mess up the bad guys’ cell walls, making it hard for them to grow and spread. So, your floor stays nice and clean, even as time goes on. The best part is that this technology provides a broad range of protection. It’s like a superhero team that fights against all kinds of microorganisms, from pesky bacteria like MRSA and E. coli to Mold, mildew, and other gross stuff. With this anti-microbial power, your space stays cleaner and safer for everyone. But it’s not just about killing germs. Resin flooring with anti-microbial technology is also super easy to clean and maintain. The anti-microbial properties not only keep the bad stuff away but also make it easier to get rid of dirt, stains, and other gunk on the floor. You won’t need to use harsh chemicals or spend forever scrubbing — just a simple cleaning routine will do. And let’s not forget about sustainability. There are eco-friendly options available that use low VOC formulations and don’t have any harmful chemicals. That means you can enjoy the benefits of anti-microbial technology without worrying about the environment or indoor air quality. So, resin flooring has levelled up in the cleanliness game. It fights off germs, stays clean for the long haul, and makes your life easier when it comes to maintenance. With these innovative advancements, resin flooring is a smart choice for keeping your space hygienic and fresh.
7. What’s next for this industry?
With more focus on going greener, safer installation and even more resistance to chemicals resin manufacturers have got an exciting mission ahead, including the advancements in concrete preparation technology with HEPA filtered machines and remote-controlled grinders. Who knows, maybe there will be a robot-controlled floor grinder much like the Husqvarna remote controlled lawn mowers . Either way the advancements in modern technologies are very much welcome in the industry and I look forward to being apart of this industries bright future. Resin flooring has had an epic journey in the last decade, transforming from an industrial hero to a superstar in all sorts of spaces. It has taken over new territories, embraced technological marvels, gone green and clean, simplified maintenance, and unleashed a wave of creativity.
