TENNANT COATINGS LOOKS TO ELEVATE EPOXY FLOORING
Tennant Coatings, Inc., manufacturer of commercial, institutional and industrial coating systems for concrete floors, has
launched its new Tennant Decorative Stone Slurry System.
“The epoxy flooring advancement features a unique luxury aesthetic with stunning color saturation and striking optical
depth, furnishing design professionals with a nearly unlimited new palette for shaping the ambiance and character of
interior spaces,” the company says.
Compared to traditional decorative resin floors, the new system reduces downtime, enabling facilities’ day-to-day
operations to resume faster, Tennant says. It adds that an easy-install cove base integrates seamlessly into the floor
surface to minimize joints, seams and 90-degree angles to enhance cleanability and pathogen control. Tennant Coatings’
high performance resins ensure optimal chemical and abrasion resistance while minor surface damage can be repaired
with almost undetectable results, the company says.
The brand also offers low-emissions, LEEDv4-certified epoxy and urethane systems, as well as vinyl ester coatings and
concrete polishing products.
“The new Tennant Decorative Stone Slurry System takes epoxy flooring aesthetics, performance and installation to a new
level and has received accolades from our authorized contractor network,” says Don Andrews, VP of Tennant Coatings. “Our
experienced installers recognize the competitive advantages offered by the system, in terms of faster floor and cove
installation, outstanding performance and ‘invisible’ repairs. We’re excited to see this innovative solution installed in
pharmaceutical and education facilities, among others, in the coming months.”
