When it comes to upgrading your floors, you’ve likely encountered two common terms: epoxy paint and epoxy floor coating. While both options can make your floors look better, epoxy floor coatings offer significantly more durability, performance, and long-term value compared to epoxy paint. At Northwest Specialty Painting (NWSP), we specialize in epoxy floor coatings, offering the most durable finishes that stand up to the toughest environments.

Let’s break down why epoxy floor coatings are the better choice for your flooring needs—and why NWSP is the best choice to apply them.

What is Epoxy Paint?

Epoxy paint is a type of coating that blends epoxy resin with a paint base. It’s often used by DIY homeowners who want a quick, inexpensive way to add color and a glossy finish to their floors. However, epoxy paint is thinner than epoxy floor coatings and doesn’t offer the same level of protection or durability.

Why Epoxy Paint Falls Short:

• Thinner & Less Durable: Epoxy paint can provide a shiny look, but it doesn’t stand up to heavy wear, spills, or environmental elements. It’s more susceptible to peeling, chipping, and stains over time.

• DIY Application: Epoxy paint is easy enough to apply yourself, but the results often lack the quality finish and long-term performance that a professional epoxy floor coating can provide.

What is Epoxy Floor Coating?

Epoxy floor coatings, on the other hand, are specifically designed for high-performance and long-lasting protection. These coatings are made by mixing epoxy resin with a hardener to form a thick, durable layer that bonds seamlessly to the floor. Unlike epoxy paint, floor coatings can withstand heavy foot traffic, mechanical wear, spills, and extreme temperatures.

Why Epoxy Floor Coatings Are the Superior Choice:

• Incredible Durability: Epoxy floor coatings form a thick, protective layer that resists scratches, stains, chemicals, moisture, and heat. This makes them perfect for high-traffic spaces like garages, workshops, kitchens, and industrial floors.

• Superior Adhesion: One of the most important factors in ensuring the longevity of epoxy coatings is proper adhesion. At NWSP, we use a state-of-the-art floor grinder to prepare your floors. This specialized equipment ensures flawless adhesion by grinding the surface to the perfect texture, so the coating bonds tightly, giving you a seamless, long-lasting finish. Our grinder also helps us get the job done in less than half the time compared to traditional methods, so you can enjoy your new floors faster.

• Professional Application: While epoxy paint may be suitable for DIYers, epoxy floor coatings require professional installation for optimal results. Our experienced team at NWSP handles every aspect of the process, from preparation to application, ensuring a smooth, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish.
