Considering Water-Based Epoxy Flooring in Portland, OR
What’s a Water-Based Epoxy Coating from Specialty Coatings?
Concrete flooring used to be thought of as drab and as a last resort for residential flooring. However, many homeowners are rethinking their stance on concrete residential flooring thanks to water-based epoxy coatings, or water-based floor paint. A water-based epoxy floor coating is a special topcoat that gives concrete flooring a more attractive finish while preserving its durability and natural resistance to spills. Water-based epoxy flooring from Portland’s Specialty Coatings is superior to the solvent-based epoxy coatings of the past. Read on to explore the benefits of water-based epoxy flooring for many residential applications, including your next basement or garage floor coating.
Why Water-Based Floor Paint Is Good for Your Home’s Flooring
Epoxy resin floor paint uses water as a carrier agent, aiding in the application and adhesion of the epoxy floor coating. Once applied, the water evaporates from the epoxy floor coating, resulting in a thinner, more user-friendly epoxy that makes it more attractive for do-it-yourself residential projects. Water-based floor paint is easier to apply on your flooring surface and has a longer “pot life” (the average amount of time required for its application), meaning it’s more comfortable for many homeowners to apply themselves. Many water-based epoxy coatings can even be applied to wet concrete without any drawbacks. Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or you’re looking for someone to apply water-based epoxy floor coatings on your behalf, Specialty Coatings welcomes all inquiries.

Benefits of Installing Water-Based Epoxy Floor Coatings
Are you wondering how water-based epoxy flooring stacks up against the competition? Here are some benefits of installing water-based epoxy floor coatings in your Greater Portland Area home:
- Glossy Finish without VOCs – Water-based epoxy coatings provide the same glossy finish enjoyed by concrete floors that had solvent-based epoxy coatings – but without the volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Say goodbye to harmful fumes and pollutants to the environment!
- Retains Concrete’s Texture – Water-based epoxy coatings are so thin the concrete texture of your flooring can remain intact if that is your preference.
- Superior Static Dissipation – Water-based floor paint is ideal for older concrete floors that have traditionally had issues with excess moisture. Thanks to its superior static dissipation qualities, water-based epoxy resin floor paint is perfect for computer rooms and home offices.
