Epoxy is typically thought of as a floor covering, and while it certainly adds aesthetic and practical appeal to flooring, it can also be used in other places around your home. Epoxy countertops, for example, offer many benefits. Below are three reasons why you should install epoxy countertops in your home.
- They’re easy to clean. There are a lot of different types of bacteria that can travel around your bathroom or kitchen. On some countertop materials, this bacteria can be difficult to fully get rid of, but epoxy doesn’t allow for bacteria and other unclean contaminants to seep into your countertops. Epoxy can easily be cleaned of bacteria and germs that accumulate on your countertops.
- You have design options. When installing something new in your home, appearance is an important consideration to keep in mind. Epoxy countertops have many different color and style options for you to choose from, so you’re sure to find an option that will complement the rest of your design preferences and room aesthetics.
- Epoxy coatings increase durability. While we don’t recommend setting a hot pan directly onto an epoxy-coated countertop, epoxy is heat resistant. It also has high general durability, resisting damage from heavy impacts that could crack or damage other materials.
