How Long Does Epoxy Floors last?
There is no one answer to this question. The
longevity of the epoxy floors depends not only
on the qualities an epoxy possesses but also on
external factors as discussed below
5
The Strength of The Epoxy Floor
The first layer that is the concrete layer of the
floor determines the lifespan of the epoxy floor
coating. If the base on which the rest of the
layers are to be set goes wrong, then the
durability certainly gets affected. The
installation process plays an important role in
setting the tone for long-time durability of the
floor. In order to get a strong, resilient, and
beautiful epoxy floor, the material applied must
be of superior quality. The epoxy specialists at
the Tuff Build, the top epoxy flooring
contractors in Melbourne have full understanding
of the type of chemicals to use, and in how much
quantity.

Surface Preparation and Installation
The stronger the foundation, the more the life
span of the epoxy floor. But to be sure that the
prep goes right, it is advised to hire
professionals to get the job done. The epoxy
experts would very well know all the
prerequisites of a well-performing epoxy
floor. Here are few of the things that you can
keep a check on while getting the floor
installed The surface should be oil, dust, or
other liquids free Make sure the surface is not
damaged and so on. These are just a few. There
are many more pre- conditions that you and the
epoxy experts must look into.

Extent of The Traffic

• More pedestrian traffic can wear down even a
  well- installed epoxy coating. If you are
  considering to get an epoxy floor for office or
  the area that gets high- level traffic, an
  additional topcoat becomes a necessity. At home,
  the foot traffic is likely to be less. The
  family members, a four-legged friend, and few
  vehicles.
• This factor must also be taken into consideration
  while accessing the durability of the epoxy
  floor. If you get the assistance of the
  professionals, be sure to tell them about the
  traffic you may receive. So, they can ensure the
  delivery of epoxy flooring accordingly.

Self-Maintenance
Take great care of the floor and they will surely
last long. All you need to do is consistent
cleaning, sweeping to remove dirt, spots, if
any. You can deep clean or scrub once a week.
However, this is not the set formula. You can
adjust the cleaning process as per the traffic
the floor receives. Even though epoxy floors are
the toughest, yet intolerable heavy traffic can
lead to its degradation. Excess of everything is
bad and the same goes for the epoxy floor
solution.
9
Exposure to UV Lights
Epoxy floors are primarily meant for indoors
because these are not resistant to the UV rays.
If these are regularly exposed to the sunlight,
the binder may chalk and turn powdery. This is
the reason epoxy floors are not recommended for
exterior applications.

Why Hire Epoxy Experts?
Many people may think getting a DIY epoxy kit
would save them money. However, that is not the
reality. You may save some amount at the moment
but you may have to compromise on the quality
because of a lack of knowledge and experience.
Hiring a professional to install epoxy floor is
beneficial for long run as they only use
high-grade materials that will surely last. The
job usually comes with workmanship warranty. On
the other hand, for a self-installed epoxy floor,
you may not get any guarantee and the owner
becomes fully responsible for the quality and the
end product. So, if you want to get more out of
the epoxy floor, it is advised to get a
professional help. You can reach out to the
expert team of Tuff Build, the team of the best
epoxy experts in Melbourne and get their
