Epoxy Resin: Not Just a TikTok Trend!

Epoxy resin has become quite popular in online craft and hack videos. What was traditionally used in the construction of vehicles, snowboards, aircrafts and bicycles – epoxy adhesives have found new life.  Epoxy resin can be used in virtually any application. Epoxy resin is known for its strong adhesive qualities, making it a versatile product in many industries. It has resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals which makes it an ideal product for anyone needing a strong adhesive. Epoxy resin is also a durable product which can be used with various materials, including: wood, fabric, glass, and metal.

As we all know, bathrooms are wet areas. Humidity, moisture, and dampness are all present in this part of your house which is why choosing the right materials for your bathroom renovation is vital. Which makes epoxy an excellent choice. Epoxy offers you a lot of benefits. Let’s take a look at 4 ways you can use epoxy resin in your bathroom remodel:

1. Shower Walls:

Epoxy shower walls are a stylish and low-maintenance solution to restore your bathtub or shower walls. Epoxy shower walls are entirely seamless and watertight – plus, cleaning and maintenance is so much easier than with tile and grout! If you do not want to completely remove your shower in a remodel, epoxy shower walls are an ideal solution to layer over your current shower walls. When comparing epoxy to tile, tile might take several weeks to correctly prepare, place, and grout. Epoxy is a very resilient and long-lasting material, you will not have to worry about the rapid deterioration with epoxy.

2. Epoxy Floors:

If you choose to use epoxy for the remodel of your bathroom floors, you are guaranteed to have fewer installation costs with promising results. Epoxy is ideal for refinishing your bathroom floors without having to removing the existing floor. Epoxy can refinish all types of flooring including formica, tile, concrete, wood, marble, laminate, vinyl, linoleum, and plywood. Epoxy floors provide you with a beautiful, strong, and durable floor that is stain resistant and low maintenance. Epoxy has become one of the most common flooring solutions. It gives you a seamless floor that is easy to clean and highly customizable. And when it comes to safety, epoxy floors are slip-resistant which is valuable in a wet and moist environment of a bathroom.

3. Vanity Countertops:

The countertop of your existing bathroom vanity can also be refinished using epoxy. This is an area where you can create a natural stone look that is more durable and stain resistant than natural stone would be.  Refinishing countertops can make a huge change when you are looking to refresh your bathroom. There are many different finishes you can choose from to match your current or new decor.

4. Accessories:

While adding new accessories to your bathroom isn’t an intense part of a remodel, filling a newly renovated bathroom with old accessories takes away from the desired result. The good news is: another way to utilize the versatile and durable epoxy resin in your bathroom renovation is to purchase resin accessories! As mentioned above, this material is highly water resistant which helps when purchasing accessories that will last. Consider purchasing resin toothbrush holders, soap dispensers, tissue holders, bins, and vanity tray.
