How Thick Should an Epoxy Floor Be?

Epoxy floor thickness is one of those questions that sounds simple until the actual job conditions are considered.

A floor exposed mainly to abrasion may need a very different system from one exposed to dropped tools, steel parts, chemical spills, or demanding industrial service.

We have added a new page to the Epoxy.com Technical Resources & Education Center explaining how epoxy flooring thickness is built and selected.

The new resource explains:

• The difference between coating systems and reinforced broadcast systems
• How each full broadcast adds approximately 1/16 inch of finished thickness
• When decorative chip systems are appropriate
• When double-broadcast quartz systems may be the better choice
• Why installing the thickest possible floor is not always the correct answer

The goal is not simply to install the thickest floor possible.

The goal is to match the flooring system to the type of wear, impact, chemical exposure, traffic, and service conditions the floor will actually experience.
