So you’re revamping your bar, or maybe you’re setting up a new one. You ask yourself, “What’s the most durable bar top epoxy out there?”
Good question, and we’re here to provide an honest answer. Stick around; this is going to be enlightening.
Before diving into product recommendations, let’s talk durability. What makes one epoxy more durable than another?
Shore D Hardness is the scale used to measure an epoxy’s durability. The higher the number, the harder the epoxy.
Sounds simple enough, but what does this actually look like in real life?
(Marshmallow: 10 Shore 00): Imagine squishing a marshmallow between your fingers. Soft, right? Epoxy at this level would most likely be way too soft and pliable. Probably useful for very niche artsy stuff, but we'll let you figure that one out!
(Textbook Cover: 40 Shore D): Think of a textbook cover. It's kinda hard but has some give. An epoxy like this is more for specific, low-impact projects, not ideal for a bustling bar top.
(Bulletproof Glass: 80 Shore D): Picture bulletproof glass. That's the level of durability you get from our Superclear Table Top Epoxy. Hard enough to have a great scratch resistance, but soft enough for the best impact resistance!
(Drill Bit: 90 Shore D): Imagine a diamond-tipped drill bit. Super tough, but maybe overkill for most projects. Like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; effective but maybe too much.
A fully cured epoxy offers its maximum durability. Always consider the curing time for a fair comparison.
Some epoxies cure in 2 hours while others can take up to 30 days for maximum hardness.
There are many bar top epoxy options out there, some boasting Shore D Hardness ratings up to the 90s.
They’re not lying; those epoxies are super hard.
But does that hardness always = the best bar top epoxy? Let’s find out.
While a high Shore D rating is impressive, it’s not the end-all-be-all. Your bar top also needs to withstand spills, slams, stains, and scratches.
That’s where Superclear Table Top Epoxy shines. It’s stain & scratch-resistant, as well as impact-resistant; offering durability where it truly matters.
