Types of self-leveling epoxy floors
Epoxy two-component self-leveling flooring is otherwise called thin-layer epoxy coating. Why thin-layer? Its thickness reaches one millimeter. It is chemical-resistant and is more often used in rooms where aesthetics are given minimal importance. This could be, for example, a car wash.

Any of these types of floors can be made decorative using a powder of polymer chips and flocks. These are particles of dried paint that are different in color and shape. Plus, if you wish, the floors, after undergoing special treatment, can become antistatic and anti-slip. And they are laid on a primed base.
Why is a self-leveling epoxy garage floor the ideal solution?
Typically, garage floors are concrete. And they very quickly become unusable – they begin to gather dust, and then chips appear, which bring with them other troubles. And in order not to run around with a bucket of cement every time, filling up many holes, it is worth choosing the optimal solution in the form of a self-leveling epoxy floor.

It is known that the primer base of the floor can penetrate five millimeters into the concrete covering, which significantly strengthens the floor. And the floor itself becomes hygienic and easy to clean.

However, transparent self-leveling flooring has become more widespread, which is applied on site in the evening, and in the morning you can safely walk on it. Only the temperature of the base during operation should not be lower than ten degrees.

Unfortunately, self-leveling flooring in residential premises is still perceived as an exotic element. And to carry out work related to the installation of such floors, it is better to call specialists. After all, beauty is not created in one sitting. It is necessary to carry out preparatory work, make several main layers, and only after that the final, final decorative coating is done.
