England 06/04/2013 – Epoxy floor paints are being used in more and more environments which is driving up overall demand
In the past, epoxy floor paint was only really used in industrial or commercial settings. However, today, this is changing and it is now being increasingly used in residential settings too. Increasingly people are painting their garage or workshop floors using an epoxy paint. However, the majority of the new demand is coming from the growing trend for using these paints for kitchen and dining room floors.
As UK homeowners have moved away from carpets they have grown to prefer wooden and tile floors. They like the way they look and the fact that they are easy to clean and maintain. This has opened their eyes to how beautiful an uncarpeted floor can be and lead them to view concrete floors in a different light.
They like the way a concrete floor finished with high gloss epoxy floor paint looks. Unlike with tiles and wood there are no ugly lines or gaps, which trap dirt and germs. A painted floor finished with an epoxy coating produces a smooth, flawless, bright, shiny and easy to maintain floor surface. It is a cheap way to achieve a luxury floor finish. The fact that there is an expanding residential market as well as strong demand from the commercial and industrial markets is the main driver behind this increase in demand.
Online availability is also fuelling demand
In the past, epoxy floor paints were not easily available and they required specialist knowledge and equipment to apply. These paints were a specialist product that could only be bought from professional industrial flooring companies. It was practically impossible to buy this specialist paint in small quantities.
Today, that has changed specialist flooring firms like Vuba Supplies have made their products available via the web. Making it possible for the general public as well as contractors to buy and use them. They have expanded their range to include epoxy floor paints that do not require specialist equipment to be used during the application process.
