Residential Epoxy Flooring
You may not have ever considered any type of residential epoxy flooring. Not for any part of your house. Not even for one minute. Most people (and we are in that group, too) used to think along the lines of carpet, linoleum, tile, or wood. But, then you find out residential epoxy flooring is “a thing” that many homeowners are choosing for their homes. Who knew? It is a practical choice that can be attractive as well as affordable. When you look at the typical lifespan of epoxy compared to other choices, then you see the impact on affordability. There are many areas in your home where epoxy flooring can be a smart option: the basement, garage, mud room or laundry area, front entryway, and even the kitchen. Probably not the roof, though. You could even use it out by the pool or in your master bathroom. We would appreciate the chance to give you a design proposal and bid that fits your plan and pocketbook. Give us a call or send a message through the contact form on this page. Thanks.

How Long Does It Last?
Epoxy is consistently one of the most cost-effective flooring investments available – especially for residential garage floor epoxy applications. The average life of a residential epoxy floor can last from 10 to 20 years depending on the quality of the materials and type of traffic. If a concrete base is prepared properly, a professionally applied epoxy surface could last decades. There are multiple factors that can affect the longevity of your home’s epoxy floor. The quality of the installation reflects the attention given to the prep of the receiving surface. A diamond-ground process can open the pores of the concrete which will help the epoxy form a firm bond to the floor. Industrial-grade materials can also help epoxy floors last. The cost of premium materials can generally extend the overall life of the floor and, in turn, lower the long-term cost of the investment. UV fading is a concern for the homeowner. No one wants yellowed epoxy floors. To help prevent discoloration from the sunlight, UV-stable polyurethane or polyaspartic upper coats can provide the needed sun barrier. Of course, the heavier the traffic on an epoxy floor, the more likely any wear and tear could decrease its expected life. Vehicle tires and heavy machinery (large, heavy riding lawnmowers) are a concern and require periodic inspection to catch early damage.
Epoxy = Durable
Epoxy flooring is such a great option for households that need durability at an affordable price. After installation, the flooring is very easy to keep clean. No expensive upkeep. No special cleaning chemicals. Just good looks and dependable use. Pet stains? No worries. Spilled coffee? Easy to wipe up. Dropped hammer? Pick it up and move on with your day. There’s no regret for being a butterfinger. Do you need a good flooring option for your utility room, garage, or basement? Epoxy is a great choice. We will be sure to install a quality epoxy floor in your residence using high-grade materials and skilled craftsmanship. At HeartlandEpoxyFlooring.com, we take pride in our work. We aim to deliver a very durable product at a good price point in a timely fashion. Give us a call today.
The Cost of Residential Epoxy Flooring as an Investment
It does not cost an arm and a leg to get residential epoxy flooring at a great price. Even though the look is expensive, the investment is worth it in the long term. Many real estate professionals agree that a quality epoxy floor can help sell a home even when comparables don’t seem to be moving on the market. Why? It is a feature that many prospective homeowners remember after they go to the listing. That memory helps keep your residence in their mind as a “keeper”. You can bet that the next house they see will fall short – especially in the flooring department. That single edge could help get you to a closing deal in less time. The quality materials our crews use show their worth even years later. While a carpet choice may wear due to lots of foot traffic and lots of sun damage, your epoxy flooring is likely to keep looking fresh and ready for another decade. It really is an investment that can keep its worth over the years. Sorry, if you sell your house, the epoxy floors can’t go with you. We’d love to help you with new epoxy floors for your new house!
