Resinous Flooring
How do I choose a resinous floor?
- Choosing the right resinous floor begins with what is intended for the space. Consider what the floor will come in contact with: foot traffic, vehicle traffic, water, chemicals, etc., this will help you narrow down options. The Dur-A-Flex Floor Finder tool will assist you in finding the features that will suit your needs in any environment.
Are resinous floors hygienic?
- Yes, resinous (seamless) floors eliminate crevices and absorptive surfaces that can harbor pathogens, harmful germs, and debris to create an exceptionally hygienic surface. Seamless surfaces are also easier to clean and maintain and are preferred in any environment where sterilization is key. Read this article to learn more.
What substrates can resinous floors be installed on?
- Dur-A-Flex resinous flooring is best suited for prepared concrete substrates, however, select products can also bond to steel plating and plywood for use in multiple spaces in any building.
How do I know if I have too much moisture for epoxy floors?
- Begin each job with a survey of the installation space. Use of the Dur‑A‑Flex Floor Evaluation Guidelines is easiest place to begin. This document is available in both English and Spanish and is located in Project Preparation Documents. For more assistance and information contact your territory sales manager.
How long does it take to install a resinous floor?
- The time it takes to install a resinous flooring system will vary from project to project. The complexity of the project, size of the space, and the type of system chosen will all impact the installation time. Dur‑A‑Flex systems can be installed in as little as one day but 1-5 days is average.

How much does a resinous floor cost?
- There are many variables that go into the pricing of a resinous flooring system. The type of flooring system, whether or not moisture mitigation is required, how much flooring preparation is involved, and the square footage of the project are contributing factors. It is best to discuss these details with a Dur‑A‑Flex territory sales manager or one of our approved Dur‑A‑Flex Flooring Contractors. They will work with you to estimate how much your flooring project will cost.
What design options are available?

What is the thickness of a Dur-A-Flex resinous floor?
- Floor system thickness varies between different types of installations and the needs of the end user. Thin-mil floor systems can be as little as 24 mils, with high build systems exceeding 3/8”. Contact your local Territory Sales Manager for more information on all Dur-A-Flex flooring systems and which is best for your use.
What needs to be done to maintain your floors, and how often?
- The lifetime of your floor will depend upon how well you clean it. Dur-A-Flex floors are designed for and used in heavy traffic areas that typically accumulate foreign matter. The recommended maintenance schedule for most areas is once or twice daily cleaning and regular “touch-ups” for spills. Less frequent cleaning of these areas results in a buildup of foreign matter, which diminishes the appearance, safety and service life of the floor. For full details on cleaning please refer to our Cleaning Guidelines. Cleaning Guidelines
What are the mix ratios?
- Dur-A-Flex flooring systems are made up of several layers, each one may be volumetric or as a pre-weighed kit. See the individual product application instructions for more information.
