The Engineering Challenge: Can You Really Epoxy Over Wood?

The Engineering Challenge: Can You Really Epoxy Over Wood? The Physics of the Problem: Movement vs. Rigidity The primary hurdle when installing industrial epoxy over a wood subfloor is the coefficient of thermal expansion. Wood is an organic, hygroscopic material that expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature. Standard epoxy, once cured, is […]
