Epoxy resin is a popular choice for upgrading cement surfaces in interiors, like floors and tabletops. It offers a seamless, glossy finish, but successful results depend on correct product selection and preparation.
Choosing the Right Epoxy Resin
For indoor use, prioritise odourless and VOC-free epoxy resins. Products like ICrystal are ideal as they minimise unpleasant smells and provide a high level of clarity. For slightly thicker layers, the Trasparente Multipurpose Epoxy can be applied up to 2cm per pour, ensuring durability and a professional-looking finish. Always check the product’s maximum layer thickness to prevent complications such as overheating or incomplete curing.
Surface Preparation for Best Results
Proper surface preparation is essential for resin adhesion and a flawless finish. Make certain the cement floor or tabletop is completely dry and free from dust or grease. Vacuum and mop if necessary, allowing the surface to air-dry thoroughly. For highly absorbent concrete, consider applying a primer or initial sealing coat to avoid air bubbles or uneven resin absorption. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and application closely for the best outcome.
When Epoxy Resin Matters
Applying epoxy resin is especially beneficial when you want to add resilience, scratch-resistance, and a contemporary sheen to your cement surfaces. It’s particularly useful for modern kitchens, home offices, or art tables where style and protection are equally valued.
