EPOXY BINDER BASED ON PETROLEUM vs NATURAL-BASED ON PLANT OIL

Epoxy or polyurethane serves as the raw materials for traditional poured floors. However, it’s important to note that epoxy is derived from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. What’s more, epoxy floors contain volatile organic compounds that can be harmful to both your health and the environment. As a result, they aren’t the best choice for homes or workplaces.

Senso poured floors, on the other hand, are crafted from renewable and natural raw materials, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative.

Senso introduces a game-changing alternative to epoxy floors, using oil extracted from fast-growing tropical plants rather than petroleum. These natural biopolymers offer numerous advantages, including flexibility, comfort, colorfastness, improved indoor air quality, and environmental benefits.

Over the past two decades, Senso has refined this product to be a global favorite, trusted by companies like Apple, Google, and Disney. This assures you of a top-quality, long-lasting solution.

COST AND COMPARISON:

EPOXY vs. SENSO FLOORS

The cost of an epoxy poured floor can vary significantly. Epoxy comes in various forms, from coatings to thin layers, but Senso poured floors are built up in four to six layers, always poured, and come in thicknesses of 3 to 6mm. This results in a superior product with enhanced durability and elasticity.

Senso floors are priced from $22 to $50/sqft. While some custom luxury Senso floors options, adorned with Swarovski crystals, can cost as much as $800/sqft, they offer a level of luxury and quality that epoxy floors can’t match.

Senso provides beautiful solutions for a wide range of applications, including offices, hospitality businesses, hotels, public buildings, and home flooring. Contact us to receive samples and personalized advice tailored to your specific project.
