Top 10 Myths About Epoxy Flooring—Busted! (For Homeowners and Businesses in Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville)
Epoxy flooring has become one of the most popular choices for homeowners and businesses in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, and across Southern Ontario. But with popularity comes plenty of misinformation.
At EZ Epoxy, we hear all kinds of myths and misconceptions about epoxy floors. So today, we’re setting the record straight.
Here are the top 10 epoxy flooring myths—busted!
Myth #1: Epoxy Flooring Is Only for Garages
✅ Busted!
While epoxy is amazing for garages in Grimsby or Milton, it’s also perfect for:
● Basements in Burlington
● Kitchens in Oakville
● Retail stores in Hamilton
● Industrial warehouses in Brantford
Epoxy floors are versatile and stylish enough for any space.
Myth #2: Epoxy Floors Are Slippery
✅ Busted!
With the right finish, epoxy floors can be slip-resistant. At EZ Epoxy, we add anti-slip additives for commercial kitchens in Mississauga, auto shops in Georgetown, and warehouses in Ancaster.
Myth #3: Epoxy Floors Don’t Last Long
✅ Busted!
Our industrial-grade epoxy floors last 15-20 years or more, especially with proper maintenance. They’re 4x stronger than concrete, perfect for high-traffic areas in Cambridge and offices in Stoney Creek.
Myth #4: Epoxy Is Just Paint
✅ Busted!
Epoxy is a multi-layer resin system, not paint. It chemically bonds to concrete, creating a durable, seamless surface that can handle heavy machinery in Winona or showroom traffic in Toronto.
Myth #5: Epoxy Flooring Is Too Expensive
✅ Busted!
Epoxy floors are more affordable than tile, hardwood, or polished concrete. Homeowners in Dundas, Paris, and Binbrook are often surprised by how cost-effective our solutions are.
Myth #6: It’s Hard to Clean Epoxy Floors
✅ Busted!
Epoxy floors are one of the easiest to maintain. Whether it’s a garage in Burlington or a showroom in Hamilton, all you need is a broom and a mop!
Myth #7: Epoxy Floors Only Come in Grey
✅ Busted!
At EZ Epoxy, we create one-of-a-kind metallic floors and custom flake systems in a variety of colors and styles, from sleek black in Oakville to vibrant metallic in Brantford.
Myth #8: DIY Kits Are Just as Good
✅ Busted!
Those DIY kits from big-box stores can’t compare to a professional installation. We use industrial-grade materials, professional equipment, and a proven process to deliver flawless results in Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville.
Myth #9: Epoxy Can’t Handle Heavy Loads
✅ Busted!
Epoxy flooring supports forklifts in Cambridge, heavy vehicles in Ancaster, and industrial equipment in Mississauga with ease. It’s built for serious weight and impact resistance.
