Epoxy vs Tile Flooring
Tile and epoxy solve similar durability problems in very different ways.
Seams & Grout
Tile has grout joints; epoxy is seamless. Fewer joints means fewer failure and cleaning points.
Repair
Damaged tile requires replacement of the piece and matching grout. Epoxy is patched and often recoated in place.
Underfoot Feel
Tile is cold and hard; epoxy is warmer and slightly less rigid, but still a hard surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is epoxy more sanitary than tile?
Epoxy is seamless and has no grout joints to trap dirt or bacteria, which is why it is common in kitchens and lab spaces.
Can epoxy go over old tile?
Sometimes, after careful preparation, but a coating over tile is only as sound as the tile bond.
