Since the price factor is very influential in the decisions of a project to choose the type of consumable material, in this article we will try to explain a summary of how to calculate the price of epoxy. First of all, it should be noted that the price of epoxy includes the price of consumables and execution. For this reason, it is usually unprincipled to determine the price separately for this type of flooring work. The price of epoxy flooring should include these three parts as a standard: 1. material supply, 2. resin substructure, and 3. performance. Each of the three factors of materials, infrastructure and execution is estimated according to the project conditions, type of use, desired resistance and client’s expectations of the final flooring, and the price of epoxy flooring is determined by summing up the costs. In addition to the mentioned items, the distance of the project site from the implementing company, payment conditions and such things can also be influential in determining the price of epoxy floor.
The next factor in determining the price of epoxy is the substrate on which the flooring should be applied. Epoxy flooring substrate must be rigid and hard, as well as flat and with minimal distortion. Non-rigid substrates such as rubber substrates, bitumen or loose mosaics, or substrates with irreparable unevenness are not suitable for epoxy flooring.
The next factor in determining the price of epoxy is the quality of the material used. Usually, different brands or the country producing epoxy materials do not have a great impact on determining the quality. It can be said that the products of all companies and brands have the same quality and price.
Another factor in determining the price of epoxy is the thickness of the flooring. Contractors maneuver a lot on this issue. But it can be said that this is actually a marketing trick, and in practice, epoxy floor coverings have the same thickness and are below four millimeters. The important point is how to fill this thickness and the type of materials used. The thickness of the flooring is another factor in determining the price of epoxy.

Cheaper or more expensive cost of epoxy does not necessarily indicate its quality and durability. Sometimes a low cost epoxy may be more durable and suitable for a type of project than an expensive epoxy. For example, in a warehouse of non-electronic parts, cheap industrial epoxy flooring can be used. But if we use expensive electrostatic epoxy in this warehouse, the life and use of the flooring will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is always recommended to use expert advice to choose the type of flooring.
