Whether we are talking about a residential setting or a commercial setting, seamless flooring works perfectly in both environments. They provide a variety of benefits which include the qualities of being pretty resistant to early wear and tear, pretty easy to sterile, and super easy to clean which already make them far superior options to the other alternatives in the market. so many busy commercial places such as food manufacturing units or pharmaceutical clean rooms will prefer seamless for those respective purposes which suit them in some way.
Though there are still many different types of seamless flooring which often make people confused about which one would sit perfectly for their place. If we talk about the most prominent seamless floors, they are polished concrete, polyurethane coating, and epoxy coating. They have got their own merits and usage style. Let us understand each one of them and recognize which one will suit the best for you.
The benefits of epoxy vs. polyurethane vs polished concrete
Epoxy
Epoxy is probably one of the most renowned seamless floors which are highly appreciated and used in different commercial and residential places. If the commercial unit where heavy machinery is used on a routine basis and requires a hard floor that could withstand the heavy vehicles moving around, so no option would be better than the epoxy. Epoxy is very strong and tough. And apart from being appreciated for its toughness, it has also got beautiful designs which are like icing on the cake. Apart from having so many qualities, it also has some limitations such as a long time for installation.
Polyurethane
Pretty much like epoxy, polyurethane provides a resinous coating. It also has some pretty good qualities of handling different kinds of vehicles with super ease and providing enough resistance for the free flow of goods in a large commercial area. If there happens to be some danger of highly caustic chemicals being handled inside the unit then using polyurethane is perfect as they are highly resistant to any such chemicals. A prominent contractor handling the projects of seamless flooring in Florida states that the only limitation of polyurethane is probably its high cost in comparison to the other seamless floors. But its longer life span pretty much balances the high cost.
Polished Concrete
When a concrete slab is grinded with the help of diamond-based scrubbers and the process continues until it starts looking pretty flat and shiny then that surface is referred to as polished concrete flooring. A waterproof coating will be applied to the floor surface to seal the surface against moisture. They are very durable and look extremely attractive and are also eco-friendly. The only limitations that they possess are the fact that they won’t withstand the harsh chemical spills; therefore any places with chemical usage should generally avoid this option.
