Vinyl VS Epoxy

Vinyl Flooring

Garage Floor Coating – The Great Lakes
Epoxy Coated Floors

• Vinyl flooring is susceptible to rips and tears.

• Our Poly Hybrid top coat is the most durable coating available.

• Water can seep through rips, tears and seams of vinyl flooring and can promote the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew in walls and floor substrate.

• Water cannot penetrate epoxy coated floors making them far more sanitary.
• Our coating process can be applied to verticals (stem walls), making the seam between floor and wall impermeable.

• Vinyl flooring undergoes out gassing, which releases volatile organic chemicals into the air.  These chemicals can contribute to respiratory health complications and eye irritation.
• Vinyl flooring is produced from non-renewable resources and is not biodegradable.  This means that vinyl flooring creates ecological waste problems.

• All of our products are GREEN and VOC (volatile organic chemical) free.

• Vinyl flooring will react with rubber so mats with rubber backing will cause permanent discoloration.

• All of our floor coatings are stain resistant.

• Direct sunlight will fade vinyl flooring.

• During our process, we incorporate a UV-stabilizer when the floor will be subjected to sunlight.

• Vinyl flooring must be removed and replaced when it is damaged because there is no way to refinish it.

• If our floor coating becomes damaged, repairs can be performed easily by re-coating problem areas.

• Maintenance of vinyl floors is time consuming.

• Our floor coatings are virtually maintenance free. Mopping or using a squeegee with an application of water and vinegar is all that is necessary.
