Pittsburgh's Epoxy Flooring Contractor

DIY home improvement projects can be exciting, fun, and satisfying. Luckily, there are many different home improvement projects that can be done on your own. However, epoxy flooring may not be one of them. You need a highly trained specialist to apply the flooring if you want a good, solid, and durable floor. The professionals at Peak Floors in Pittsburgh are just the right people to get the job done for you. Not only are they highly trained, but they are also experienced experts at mixing the chemicals involved in the process. Taking a chance on doing it yourself is not recommended if you want the best results!

Without experience, training, and knowledge mistakes happen easily. Anything that throws off the balance could ruin the whole floor entirely. That is why you should turn to Peak Floors. There is a difference between professional epoxies and home kits. Professional epoxies often dry quicker than home kits. If you choose a professional, then you will not have to worry about cleaning up the mess that occurs when applying epoxy flooring. Also, if you choose an expert instead of a home kit, you can be confident that the job will be done correctly and efficiently the first time around and this can save you money and time in the end. The installation of an epoxy floor is no quick, easy job. Even for the experts, it takes patience and know-how and the ability to work with the materials fluently.

One thing you will love about epoxy flooring is that it is such a flexible option. Some of the most common types of epoxy flooring are flake, self-leveling, terrazzo, mortar, anti-static, and gravely epoxy. These types of floors are also customizable for different situations. For example, metallic epoxy floors can be made to look like marble. You can also add special designs to them like fire, water movement, and cloud formations. These special designs make the floors look 3D and pop out. You can also make your epoxy floor slip resistant, fire resistant, and chemical resistant so they do not hold fumes. You can even put logos, bright colors, and high gloss on your floors if you want to. There are so many options, so much flexibility, you have plenty to choose from!

There is research involved in finding the right epoxy floor for you. You can either do it yourself or let us do it for you! Flake epoxy has a cool look because you put flakes of multicolored pieces on top of the drying epoxy. This is often done in an industrial setting, but you can use it in your home as well. Mortar is almost exclusively commercial. This is because it is so strong, it is the strongest of them all. This is also because mortar epoxy can fix the cracks underneath it. Self-leveling epoxy is pretty much what it sounds like. It is the simplest and easiest way to put an epoxy floor in for a seamless look across the whole floor. Terrazzo epoxy is most often used in a decorative manner in hallways and entryways. Anti-static epoxy offers a commercial grade finish, and it is most often used in buildings where an anti-static floor is required to protect electronics or flammables. The single most customizable option out there is graveled epoxy. It is very flexible, and many businesses use it to showcase logos and paintings.

Epoxy is the strongest resin that we can create. This is because the bond between the chemicals and the epoxy is so strong. Epoxy will not shrink or expand like other flooring options. It is an extremely durable option that can take a lot of wear and tear. It is also heat resistant. Epoxy flooring is one of the cheapest options you can find, even though it is able to carry massive weight, resist heat, and is easy to clean. Epoxy flooring can be used commercially, industrially, and in residences as well. Epoxy often leaves a shine that brightens the room like never. When a professional installs epoxy floors, they can be used almost anywhere.

So, what makes homeowners decide to install epoxy flooring? Well, one reason is because homeowners often like to have their homes look unique. It is kind of out of the box thinking. Epoxy has a variety of styles to choose from. You have options when it comes to the finished product. In commercial applications, the floor may also contain anti-slip agents that help keep employees safe while working. One benefit of epoxy flooring is that it is a seamless surface that can be walked on with confidence throughout its life. This surface also needs little maintenance throughout the life of the floor.

When you use a home kit to install the floor by yourself, it greatly reduces the lifespan of the finished product. With home kits, the chemical strength is not the same as with professional installation. Without years of experience, you just will not know all the options you have. Professionals have the experience and the knowledge to present you with all options available and to install your flooring without mistakes. Plus, they already have the required equipment to do the job correctly. When you are ready for a flooring upgrade, look no further than Peak Floors. We are Pittsburgh’s solution to all your epoxy flooring needs.
