Ideal Thickness and Resistance of Epoxy Surface

To ensure maximum strength and durability over time of an epoxy surface, it is crucial to carefully evaluate the material's thickness. According to RESINPRO, industry experts, the choice of the ideal thickness depends on the intended use and specific needs of the surface.

Factors to Consider in Thickness Selection

RESINPRO recommends considering various factors when choosing the thickness of an epoxy surface. These include the intended use, such as whether the surface will be used in a kitchen or bathroom, the level of traffic it will be exposed to, and the presence of heavy objects that may be placed on the surface.

Examples of Recommended Uses and Thicknesses

For proper application, RESINPRO suggests a minimum thickness of 3-4 millimeters for epoxy surfaces intended for light residential use. For commercial or industrial purposes, a thicker surface is recommended, typically ranging from 5 to 10 millimeters depending on specific requirements.

Maintenance and Care of Epoxy Surface

To ensure long-lasting performance and perfect seal over time of the epoxy surface, it is essential to follow correct maintenance practices. RESINPRO recommends avoiding abrasive products and regularly cleaning the surface with neutral detergents. Additionally, it is advisable to protect the surface from impacts and scratches by using pot stands and cutting boards.
