Cove base, also known as baseboard or wall base, refers to the molding or trim installed at the bottom of a wall where it meets the floor. Cove base serves both practical and aesthetic purposes, providing several benefits: 1. Protection against damage: Cove base helps protect the lower portion of the wall from damage caused by furniture, foot traffic, and cleaning equipment. It acts as a barrier, preventing dings, scuffs, and scratches that can occur in high-traffic areas. 2. Easy cleaning and maintenance: Cove base creates a seamless transition between the floor and wall, reducing the chances of dirt, dust, and debris accumulating in the corners. This makes cleaning and maintenance more manageable, as the smooth surface of the cove base is easier to wipe or mop compared to textured walls. 3. Aesthetic enhancement: Cove base contributes to the overall aesthetics of a room by providing a finished and polished look. It can be chosen to match or complement the flooring and wall colors, enhancing the visual appeal of the space. 4. Concealing imperfections: Cove base can cover gaps or imperfections that may occur at the base of walls due to uneven flooring or settling. This can result in a cleaner and more polished appearance. 5. Hygienic benefits: In commercial or healthcare settings, cove base can be coved or curved at the bottom, creating a sealed, sanitary edge that prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria in corners. This makes it easier to maintain a clean and hygienic environment. 6. Seamless transitions: Cove base provides a smooth transition between different flooring materials in adjoining rooms. This helps create a cohesive and unified look throughout a space. 7. Compliance with regulations: In some commercial and healthcare facilities, there are regulations and standards that require the use of cove base for hygiene and safety reasons. Adhering to these regulations ensures a space meets industry standards. 8. Sound absorption: Depending on the material used, cove base can contribute to sound absorption in a room, helping to reduce noise levels and create a quieter environment. 9. Durability: Cove base materials are often chosen for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. This ensures that the molding remains in good condition over time, providing long-lasting protection to the walls. Omar Epoxy installs cove base epoxy solutions for industrial / lab installations.

Anti-static flooring is a type of flooring material designed to reduce or eliminate static electricity. Static electricity can build up in environments where there is friction between objects or materials, and it can be a concern in various industries, especially those dealing with sensitive electronic equipment.
The primary purpose of anti-static flooring is to provide a controlled path for the discharge of static electricity, preventing the accumulation of static charges on personnel and equipment. This is particularly important in environments like data centers, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and places where electronic components are handled.
Anti-static flooring can be made from various materials, including conductive materials or materials with anti-static properties. Common types of anti-static flooring include:
1. Conductive Flooring: This type of flooring contains materials that have a high level of electrical conductivity. Conductive flooring helps to quickly and effectively dissipate static charges to the ground.
2. Static Dissipative Flooring: This flooring type has a higher electrical resistance than conductive flooring but still allows for the controlled dissipation of static charges. It strikes a balance between providing protection and preventing the risk of electric shock.
Omar Epoxy utilizes specially formulated epoxy materials combined with additional elements that help dissipate static electricity from working lab or industrial areas.
This type of flooring combined with with other anti-static measures, such as anti-static footwear, clothing, and grounding systems create an environment where static electricity is minimized, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive electronic components and ensuring the safety of personnel.
