What affects the price
The final amount for your new floors depends on a few specific things. First, it comes down to the material you choose, whether that is hardwood, luxury vinyl, or carpet. The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Epoxy flooring involves applying a resin coating to a concrete subfloor, creating a hard, moisture-resistant, and glossy surface. You need this primarily for garages, basements, or utility spaces where you need high durability and easy cleanup. The process involves cleaning the concrete, etching it for adhesion, and then applying multiple layers of the epoxy mixture. It is an excellent choice for preventing oil stains and resisting heavy impact, making your concrete floor much easier to maintain over time.
Frequently asked in Durham
What is the best flooring for the money?
For areas requiring high durability and resistance to stains and impacts, epoxy flooring offers excellent long-term value. It protects concrete and provides a sleek finish. For residential living areas, quality laminate or vinyl plank often represent a good balance of cost, aesthetics, and performance.
What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?
The '1-3-1' rule in flooring often refers to a systematic approach to ensure a superior finish. For epoxy, this typically involves thorough surface preparation, application of the primary epoxy coating, and then the addition of a durable topcoat. This layered process is key to a long-lasting, high-quality floor.
Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?
Vinyl plank flooring is generally a better choice for areas susceptible to moisture, like kitchens or bathrooms, due to its waterproof nature. Laminate is often more budget-friendly and can convincingly mimic hardwood, but it requires careful protection from water. Your decision should align with the room's primary use.
What type of flooring is most popular now?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) continues to lead residential flooring trends, prized for its durability and stylish designs. For industrial, commercial, and garage applications, epoxy is seeing a significant rise in popularity due to its unmatched resilience and modern look. There's also a growing interest in sustainable flooring materials.
What is the cheapest but best flooring?
In terms of sheer resilience and longevity for demanding spaces like garages, epoxy flooring often proves to be the best value over time. For everyday living areas, a well-chosen laminate or vinyl plank can offer a cost-effective and attractive solution. The 'best' choice is always dependent on the specific application.
