Frequently Asked Questions
Why is epoxy or resin flooring recommended for animal facilities?
Epoxy and resin flooring provide a seamless, non-porous surface that is highly resistant to pet waste, blood, bacteria, and harsh disinfectants. This makes it a superior choice for maintaining high hygiene standards in kennels, treatment rooms, and exam spaces.
Can epoxy flooring help manage odors?
Yes. Because the surface is non-porous and seamless, it prevents bacteria, mold, and animal odors from penetrating the floor or lingering in joints. This ensures a fresher environment for both staff and animals.
How easy is it to clean veterinary and kennel floors?
Maintenance is very straightforward. These floors can be cleaned with standard sweeping, mopping, and disinfecting. The seamless design is particularly beneficial for deep cleaning as there are no grout lines or cracks to trap debris.
What is a "coved base" and why is it used?
An integrated radius cove base creates a seamless transition from the floor to the wall. This is a standard feature in veterinary environments because it prevents fluids from building up in corners and makes the wall-to-floor joint much easier to sanitize.
How does this flooring hold up against active animals?
The systems are extremely durable. Epoxy coatings are engineered to withstand high foot traffic, heavy wheeled equipment, dropped medical tools, and the daily physical activity of animals without compromising the surface integrity.
