Abstract:
The advantages of epoxy as a functional, cost-effective and decorative flooring system are well known. Some users have encountered debonding, blistering, or other failures, after a period of time, even though their floor was correctly applied with no evidence of faulty workmanship or material. The article seeks to correlate researched information with practical knowledge gained during the author's many years of experience in formulating and applying epoxy flooring.
