When a customer calls us about our resin flooring, one of the main queries is around our MMA resin floor coatings. They ask us about the advantages of MMA flooring compared to Epoxy flooring and garage floor paint, plus lots of other key questions.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions which we hope will help you decide on the best solution for your garage floor.
Is an MMA resin floor better than an Epoxy flooring?
We believe that the advantages of MMA flooring outweigh that of an epoxy floor for your garage. This is because an epoxy floor coating can quickly peel or flake unlike an MMA floor coating which can last up to 20 years. It can withstand changes in temperature and is used in industrial areas to give a very hardwearing finish. Our floors have a high resistance to stains and scratches and are a perfect choice for your garage to create a beautiful, luxury option for your garage floor.
Is MMA flooring the same as Epoxy flooring?
No. The advantages of MMA flooring are that it is a lot more durable and will not flake or peel like a standard epoxy option. Our resin coatings are designed for residential garages which we have been laying in garages for 10+ years.
How long after installation can I walk on the new floor?
99% of our installations are completed in just one day and you can walk on it within one hour of the floor being finished.
What thickness is an MMA coating?
Once applied, the thickness of our resin coatings will between 2.5 and 4mm.
Do you have any colour options?
We have six of our best-selling colours available for you to choose from, these are Ivory, Linen Grey, Rustic Red, Mushroom, Comet and Midnight. Each of these can be chosen in a small or large flake. Take a look at our resin floor page for more information on our colour options.
