One of the most common assumptions about epoxy flooring is that it is toxic, but that is completely false! Epoxy flooring is just as safe as a can of paint used to paint your home and just like paint it is never safe to sit and inhale fumes; however, epoxy flooring is not toxic. If you have children and animals in the vicinity while installing an epoxy they do not have to be vacated. An epoxy flooring system is comprised of resin and hardeners that mix and cure to a concrete surface creating an exceptionally resistant exterior.
