Project Type #1: Kitchen Countertops

In any kitchen, countertops exists as both a functional hub for food preparation and a central element of the room's aesthetic, setting the tone for the entire space. In many homes, they can serve as a social space, whether through sitting at a counter to share drinks or a meal, or working together to prepare food.

And because they're used in such ways, it's particularly important that countertops are not merely beautiful but also exceptionally durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of kitchen activity. This is where Primaloc Epoxy shines.

By applying our Primaloc Bar & Table Top Epoxy, you can rejuvenate your kitchen countertops, enhancing them with numerous benefits:

These features make epoxy-coated countertops a practical and attractive choice for kitchens, ensuring they remain durable and easy to maintain.

Expand Your Creative Potential with Primaloc Deep Pour Epoxy

Any standard kitchen countertop can be given a coating of our classic Primaloc Bar & Table Top Epoxy. But for those looking for even more unique designs, our Primaloc Deep Pour Epoxy can be utilized to create distinctive features such as epoxy river veins. These veins can weave through pieces of the countertop material, adding a striking visual element. This type of epoxy is particularly suited for thicker applications, making it much easier to ensure flawless finishes without air bubbles.

Additionally, all Primaloc Epoxy resins are highly compatible with colorants, allowing for customized hues and themes in your river veins or overall countertop design.

Project Type #2: Commercial/Domestic Bar Tops

Bar tops, both in homes and commercial settings, are iconic fixtures that go beyond mere countertops to serve as central hubs for social interaction and relaxation. As focal points of any room they inhabit, bar tops naturally endure considerable wear and tear. However, the durability concerns still present with most other sealants are substantially mitigated when using Primaloc Epoxy.

Primaloc Bar & Table Top Epoxy was specifically developed for high-traffic environments like bars. Its exceptional resilience and easily cleaned surface make it an ideal choice for bar tops, simplifying upkeep and offering peace of mind to owners. With this epoxy, the focus can remain on enjoying the space rather than worrying about its upkeep.

Project Type #3: Dining Tables

Among table types, dining tables are the most present, both in homes and restaurants, serving as central gathering spots for meals with friends and family. These tables frequently witness spills, drops, and other messy accidents, making a protective sealant not just beneficial but necessary. For this purpose, there's no better choice than epoxy resin.

Epoxy resin is celebrated not only for its remarkable durability but also for its waterproofing capabilities. A surface coated with epoxy that has properly bonded creates an impermeable barrier against water and other liquids. Its ultra-smooth finish also resists staining and is straightforward to clean, simplifying maintenance.

Moreover, the aesthetic versatility of epoxy allows for customization to fit any décor style. You can preserve the natural beauty of your table with a crystal-clear finish or enhance it with stunning pigments, such as those made from mica powder, to create a truly unique piece. This level of customization makes epoxy-coated dining tables not only practical but also a focal point of artistic expression.

River Tables, a Standout Table Top Variation

River tables represent one of the most visually striking projects, unique to the world of epoxy. These tables are crafted by positioning two or more pieces of substrate material such that there is a gap between them. This gap is then filled with resin—often Deep Pour Epoxy—which can be left clear or tinted with pigments to create what is known as an epoxy "river" vein.

After the river vein is poured and allowed to partially cure, a final topcoat of epoxy, typically Table Top Epoxy, is applied across the entire tabletop. This seals in the substrate and ensures a smooth, durable surface.

Project Type #4: Coffee Tables

Coffee tables are quintessential pieces of furniture, often positioned centrally in living spaces for convenience and functionality. They serve various purposes, from holding beverages and snacks to displaying books, magazines, and controlling devices for home electronics. They may even double as footrests.

To protect and enhance these versatile surfaces, applying an epoxy coating is a superb choice, offering all the usual advantages such as durability, stain resistance, and easy maintenance.

Epoxy coatings also open up vast opportunities for personalization and creative expression. Beyond the classic clear finish, you can opt for themed designs incorporating embedments or colorants. A popular theme for coffee tables, especially smaller ones, involves oceanic imagery, which can transform a simple piece of furniture into a captivating focal point.

Project Type #5: Resin Art

Resin art represents a broad category encompassing all forms of primarily artistic creations made with epoxy resin.

Traditionally recognized for its sealing capabilities to protect surfaces, epoxy resin is equally celebrated as a versatile artistic medium. It enables artists to craft a wide array of expressive pieces such as jewelry, wall art, trays, tables, keychains, and coasters.

Creating resin art typically involves using a silicone mold to shape and contain the resin as it cures. Artists can customize their creations with various colorants (such as oceanic tones) and embedments (such as flowers) before the resin sets, allowing for unique effects and detailed imagery.

For such creative endeavors, either of our Primaloc Epoxies are viable, with the better choice depending on your project goals. Primaloc Epoxies are formulated to cure incredibly strong and beautifully clear, enhancing the visual impact of the artwork.
