Epoxy stone is called many things such as rock carpet, epoxy bonded stone, rock overlay. Epoxy stone is a 20th century flooring type that is made of very strong very durable material and is trowel applied to a substrate, which is usually concrete, wood, or tile. The rock can be applied over damaged concrete to restore it saving the expense and mess of removing it.
Within epoxy stone are small pebble stones 1/8 inch to 5/16 inch, water proof resins, and epoxy polymers that are mixed and troweled down. With many colors to chose from the options are endless. Anything you can imagine we have the ability to bring it to the surface.
What gives epoxy stone its water resistant properties is its combination of water resistant resins and epoxy polymers. These two materials are water resistant on their own but become even more resistant when they are mixed together with the rocks &/or stones.
As a whole, the resins and epoxy polymers are ultimately responsible for its resistance to water retention or absorption. This is just one of the many features that sway the decisions of potential buyers looking for a flooring best buy.
In addition to its water resistant properties, the resins and polymers are responsible for it’s smooth flat surface, uv resistance, high gloss shine, scratch and dent resistance, seamlessness, and last but maybe most important, its ability to pull dirt and liquids away from its surface keeping it clean and dry.
