Should I use Trasparente or Icrystal on lino floors?

If you’re looking to coat a linoleum floor with epoxy resin, choosing the right product is essential for a smooth, glossy and resilient result. Both Trasparente and Icrystal offer robust finishes—but differ in layer thickness and some application specifics.

Understanding Resin Layer Thickness

When selecting a resin for your lino floor project, consider how thick the coating needs to be. Trasparente is versatile for layers up to 2cm thick, making it suitable if you require a slightly more robust covering. On the other hand, Icrystal is designed for pours up to 1.5cm per application, which is ideal for standard protective coats. Both resins provide a glossy and scratch-resistant surface, so your main deciding factor is the depth of coating required.

Application Tips for Lino Floors

Preparing your linoleum surface correctly is vital. Use a dedicated floor primer such as Epoxyprimer to ensure good adhesion between the lino and the resin. After priming and allowing enough curing time (24–48 hours), apply your resin in an even layer, using a roller or brush designed for resin work for best results. Always respect the recommended maximum thickness per layer to avoid issues with curing and finish quality.

When Layer Thickness Matters

If your floor is subject to higher foot traffic or you want a thicker, ultra-durable layer, opting for Trasparente may be more suitable. For regular domestic use or thinner coatings, Icrystal delivers excellent clarity and resilience within its 1.5cm limit.
