Epoxy is fast becoming a very popular option for countertop restoration.
Here, they share three advantages of this option over concrete countertops-
Durability: The material’s most notable benefit is its durability. Known to have a higher impact resistance capability than other materials, epoxy countertops can withstand up to 500 degrees of heat without showing signs of damage. Additionally, the material is UV-resistant. Homeowners with kitchens that rely heavily on natural sunlight can rest easy knowing the sun’s rays won’t affect the surface or deplete the color.
Ease of Cleaning: Unlike concrete countertops, epoxy is nontoxic and nonporous. This means that cleaning the surface is significantly easier because liquids won’t seep into the material. Cleaning is as simple as using a soft towel and a moderate amount of force to buff the surface. A countertop brush can be used for more persistent food particles.
Color Retention: One of the biggest advantages of epoxy countertops is the fact that most small nicks or color disruptions can be sanded out without having to refinish the entire surface. Additionally, the fact that less color pigment is used in these countertops means they impart a vaguely transparent quality that will hide color irregularities as they age.
