Self leveling epoxy is a type of epoxy floor coating that can be applied over concrete floors to create a smooth, seamless, durable, low maintenance flooring surface. The two most commonly applied epoxy flooring systems are Roller applied epoxy and Self Leveling Epoxy.
Self Leveling Floors tend to leave a perfectly smooth finish where surface uneveness and imperfections are not visible. Meanwhile roller applied epoxies tend to leave a slightly rougher texture also known as the orange peel effect. Roller applied epoxies have a smaller thickness,therefore a perfectly smooth surface cannot be achieved. Self leveling epoxy flooring is ideal for situations where the flooring will be required to have a high level of aesthetic appeal as well as abrasion resistance and durability.
Polyurethaneflooring , on the other hand, are typically “softer”. They are more flexible and therefore more scratch resistant. PU flooring can also absorb impact much better than epoxy flooring.The following are some of the main benefits of choosing self leveling epoxy floors & PU floors:
For Self leveling flooring
High gloss, appealing finish
smooth, seamless finish (Easy to clean)
Chemical and heat resistance
Variable thicknesses for versatile application
For PU flooring
Matte finish
High scratch and impact resistance
Slip resistant
smooth, seamless finish (Easy to clean)
Chemical and heat resistance
Variable thicknesses for versatile application
