Our epoxy flooring systems are easy to clean and maintain. Our flooring systems are available in a variety of colors and designs with choice finishes such as matte, satin, high gloss, and slip resistance. Here are a few of Performance Industrial’s most popular options:

1. Self-Leveling Epoxy Floors – The self-leveling epoxy floor option is ideal to utilize over new, old, cracked, or damaged concrete floors and is available in a variety of colors. It is perfect to use when you need to create an aesthetic appeal coupled with abrasion, chemical, heat, and slip resistance.

2. Quartz-Filled Epoxy Floors – This beautiful epoxy flooring system combines high-performance epoxy polymer resin with colored quartz grains. The result is a multifunctional floor that is decorative, sanitary, slip-resistant, and exceptionally durable.

3. Anti-Static Epoxy Floors (ESD Resistant Floors) – Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can be extremely dangerous in many work environments. This flooring solution has been utilized in healthcare facilities, electronic, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. It is recommended for use in areas that contain flammable gases or liquids and are at risk of combustible dust buildup. This flooring contains anti-static properties to reduce static hazards. This flooring system typically contains a conductive material that accumulates static electricity to drain, ground, or dissipate any potential discharge. 

4. Epoxy Flake Floors – Flake floor systems are made when colored flakes are placed within the epoxy to create a vibrant, multi-hue, seamless, resilient surface. The aesthetically pleasing effect slightly roughs the surface to reduce slips and falls. The flakes are available in an endless variety of colors, styles, textures, and sizes that can be mixed into the combination of your choice.
