There are plenty of options when it comes to choosing the flooring you want in your Weavers home.

But more and more homeowners are opting to have a poured resin floor installation. Maybe you've come across this, and you want to know more. Perhaps you're considering the possibility of a resin floor for your home in Weavers, but you need convincing that it's the right decision.

While it's perfect for contemporary homes in Weavers, it can be adapted to older properties as well.
At Epoxy Gang, we believe that poured resin floors are not just good - they are the perfect flooring solution!

Most responsible and reputable resin floor companies (like Epoxy Gang) offer solvent-free options for those who are concerned about their environmental impact. And many of the components are of natural origin, including the pigments, many of which are plant-based.
Domestic resin floors don't need much looking after, unlike polished concrete, which gets dusty and grimy very easily. All you need to do is wipe them down with a damp cloth to get rid of dust and dirt. You can apply a little soap or floor cleaner if it's needed.
They will keep their vibrant colour for years without fading (especially if you use UV-resistant aliphatic resin). We can also arrange a maintenance schedule with you where we sand down the surface and apply a fresh coating over the top to keep it looking fantastic for even longer.
Resin floors are resistant to all manner of powerful chemicals. While this is handy for industrial and commercial projects, it's also relevant to domestic settings as we spill all kinds of substances on our floors!
Most flooring can't cope with this, but for domestic resin flooring, it's no problem.
Did you know that a poured resin floor can help with your energy bills? They adapt to the ambient temperature of the building, meaning that they are cool in summer and warm in winter.
Resin floors are astonishingly tough, but it doesn't have the same sensation as walking on concrete. In fact, most of our customers are surprised by how comfortable it is to walk on.
When you ask Epoxy Gang to install your polyurethane or epoxy resin floor, you can rest assured that it will look absolutely perfect. There's not much more we can say about this except that if you want to see for yourself, ask us for some examples of previous jobs, particularly those in residential settings, so you can see how yours will look when our expert resin flooring technicians have finished!
Seamless resin floors are incredibly smooth and can have a high gloss finish, and epoxy resin flooring can present a slip hazard when it is wet. It's not the resin itself, as this is naturally non-slip, but spills of oil and water can be a problem. To counter this, all good domestic resin flooring companies offer to add a non-slip coating to the surface or include abrasive compounds to the mixture that will prevent slips.

Why the quote marks? Because although it's relatively straightforward to install a resin system, it takes knowledge and skill to mix and pour correctly and achieve the highest quality. That's why it's important to get a professional resin flooring company in Weavers like Epoxy Gang to do the job!
On average, the whole process takes between one and two days. A lot depends on how much preparation is required as the resin has to be poured onto a sound base. If this is damaged or not, we'll have to resolve this before installation. The actual pouring process usually takes between 5 and 10 hours, but we need to allow for curing time.
Large rooms and industrial or commercial projects will take longer, between two days and a week, on average.
As a rule, it takes seven full days to cure completely, although it's usually safe for light use within 24 hours. You should be able to walk on the surface after 12 hours, but we will advise the customer in each case as the timings may be affected by atmospheric conditions.
Due to the wide range of options available, as well as the possible need for extra preparation work, the price for your resin floor might vary widely. Most online sites suggest that the average resin flooring company charges about £85 per square metre. While this is a fair figure, it doesn't cover all of the possibilities as we don't know your specific requirements and circumstances.
