EPOXY VS URETHANE FLOORING

Most people are confused on which flooring to choose between epoxy and urethane.The good thing is you can use both urethane and epoxy.
The two are great for any high traffic area and most industries use both.
It is accurate to say that the two have numerous similarities but they also differ in some areas.

Some of the differences between Urethane and Epoxy are:-

Epoxy
Epoxy floor coatings function more as a floor priming/resurfacing method.
Increases light reflectivity.
Great way to add color as it has a variety of colors.
They protect the floor surface.

Urethane.
Urethane is more of a wear surface protecting the epoxy.
It is an outstanding topcoat.
Provides a seamless and smooth floor coating.

Urethane is resistant to ultraviolet light and therefore preferable to paints compared to epoxy as it is not ultraviolet light resistant.
Flexibility brings forth firmness of floors and epoxy seems to have a greater strength compared to urethane.
Urethane provides seamless and smooth floor therefore offers a better smooth texture compared to epoxy.
Epoxy is better as a chemical resistant compared to Urethane as it wears faster.
