Epoxy countertops are an alternative to granite, marble, and natural stone countertops. Unlike natural stone, epoxy has no seams, it’s just one continuous, smooth surface. Also, there’s little to no maintenance, due to there’s no sealing it after pouring it. Once it’s poured, it’s finished.
It’s also food grade safe and rated as a “Green” product, therefore it’s safe for the environment and doesn’t release radon gas, like some granite can. It has a heat resistance of 500°. Epoxy is not scratch proof, but it is scratch resistant. The durability is amazing and will last a lifetime. It can be poured on almost any surface; ceramic tile, formica, plywood, even granite or marble.
There are two coats that are poured, the art coat, then the clear coat. There is a variety of colors and different effects that can be done during the art coat process that you cannot get with granite or marble. It can be as creative or as subtle as you desire. After the art coat is done and dried, a clear coat will then be poured. This second coat is what will give it a 3-D effect and leave it glossy and beautiful, looking like glass. If you want your own personalized art design, something no one else will ever have, epoxy countertops are the way to go. No two poured countertops will ever be the same, unlike granite. Jobs are not bid by the square foot, but by the job itself. Every kitchen and bathroom are different and some need more prep work than others. Epoxy countertops are not always cheaper than natural stone, but an alternative option to natural stone countertops.
