Which floor lasts longer? Neverlast vs Everlast Epoxy

Everlast® Epoxy vs Neverlast Flooring Episode 9

How long should a commercial floor last? Whether we are talking about a floor that is in a wet environment like a kitchen, or a heavy traffic area like the entrance to a building… a commercial grade floor system should last you at least a decade without needing any maintenance. So what are the most durable commercial flooring options and how well do cheaper “Neverlast” floors stand up against a quality flooring system?

The sad part about these floors is that they start off as good floors. They’re beautiful and they meet many health regulations. The problem is that the “honeymoon” period only lasts so long! This is especially true for commercial kitchen rubber flooring options.

There Are Many Commercial Flooring Options Available
And Most Of Them Don’t Last Long

When it comes to commercial floors, there are essentially three questions you should ask yourself;

1. How long will the floor last without me needing to maintain it?
2. How much effort goes into keeping the floor looking great and clean?
3. What is the lifetime cost, including lost revenue if you need to close down an area, for using this flooring material?

There are a few broad categories of indoor flooring options on the market today and each category has common weaknesses.

Commercial Tiles

First off, tiles and grout are porous. They easily allow moisture to go through, which causes a problem in wet environments, like showers and kitchens.

The grout gets washed out and food gets stuck in the cracks. Stuff gets underneath and deteriorates the mortar holding the tile to the floor.

To top it off, they can be hard to clean because they absorb oils, fluids, and water with ease.

Rubber Sheet “Safety” Floors

Rubber sheet floors will come loose at the seams and allow water and gunk to get underneath the material. The rubber has a natural tendency to want to bend, which puts a strain on the seams, which eventually give up and allow all kinds of things to get underneath the material.

Sometimes, the water will squirt out from under when stepped on!

Epoxy Paint

Epoxy paint is too thick to be painted straight onto the floor from the can, so you usually need to thin it down with water or thinners… reducing the protective properties of the epoxy coating.

Another issue with epoxy paint is that it wears off fast. The manufacturers even expect you to repaint your floor every few months or years, depending on foot traffic.

Like the name says, it’s paint, not a floor.

Cementitious Urethane

It’s similar to a bare naked concrete floor except it is a little better than just plain concrete because where concrete is portland and sand mixed with water, cementitious urethane uses urethane instead of water.

Cementitious urethane flooring systems weak point is that they often only have a protective glaze over top.

Most Epoxy Systems

A big problem is that manufacturers use a low amount of resin per 25 pounds of filler material.

It creates a very dry floor. They tend to compensate for this dryness by coating the floor with an epoxy glaze. But again, once it wears off or is breached, you’ve got issues.

So How Do Neverlast Floors Stand Up To Everlast® Epoxy Floors?

The main thing to remember when selecting a floor for your commercial operation is that there are common weaknesses in most flooring systems.

● Seams,
● How it is glued down to the substrate,
● Thickness, more is better,
● And whether it has a top glaze only.

So when we set about to design the Everlast® Epoxy systems, we factored in those weaknesses and made the Everlast® Epoxy flooring systems stronger by removing them.

Instead of having a small amount of resin per 25 pounds, We added much more. We use about a gallon of resin per 25 pounds of aggregate quartz. Our competitors use maybe ¼ of a gallon if you're lucky. And, the resin goes 100% through the system, not just a top glaze.

How Much Is Too Tough When It Comes To Commercial Floors?

There is no reason why a commercial floor, even in a tough environment like a kitchen, shouldn’t last for decades. It’s just a matter of eliminating the common weaknesses that cause floors to fail. And learning and implementing the proper floor maintenance procedures.

With Everlast® Epoxy, we took care of the flooring product weakness side of the equation

● No seams that can come apart or allow water to get under the floor,
● Moisture can't break through the floor and cause damage underneath,
● More than just a “top protective glaze” that can wear off or be pierced,
● Easy to clean and reduce the man hours spent cleaning it.
