What to look for in a bar top epoxy finish:

Overall Coverage On Any Surface

For both larger and smaller bar tops, you’re going to want a surface coating that can cover everything perfectly. You don’t want to be spending hundreds of dollars just to get a “good enough” coating over a small area.

With our simple one-coat, self-leveling system, a single gallon can cover up to 16 square feet with a thick and sturdy resin-pour flood coating, and up to 48 square feet with a brush-on seal coating. You won’t need to worry about low spots or areas that didn’t get a sufficient coating, as our product does the hard work for you while saving you precious time and money.

Usability For Beginners & Experts

Ease of use is often a major factor when choosing a bar top finish. You want something that’s easy to apply, but also incredibly durable that will stand the test of time in both home and restaurant applications.

Here at UltraClear we provide you with everything you'll need to achieve a professional, commercial-grade finish on your first attempt. From our premium products, in-depth tutorial videos, how-to articles, and comprehensive phone/email support, we’re here for you every step of the way.

Shine & Gloss

A high-gloss finish is one of the most desirable things about an epoxy countertop or bar top. It enables wood's natural beauty to stand out, and it provides your customers, friends, or family with a surface that looks and feels professionally made.

Resistance to Water

It’s no secret that wood and water don’t mix well together. So avoiding wood and rot damage over the years means choosing a surface coating that can 100% keep out any and all moisture.

That’s what makes UltraClear so perfect for bar tops. It’s a 1/8” layer of non-porous resin that provides an impenetrable barrier of protection for any moisture that settles on the surface.

1. A Long-Lasting Finish

UltraClear Epoxy Resin is ideal for wood and other surfaces to give them a beautiful finish that with an extensive lifespan. You don’t have to worry about the finish being cracked or stained; there's little maintenance involved, which saves you both time, effort, and money—simply pour on the resin once. With basic cleaning, your finish will last for years to come.

2. Design Opportunities

One of the biggest draws of using a resin topcoat is how easily you can mix in colorants, embed objects, and generally do whatever you want to create a unique design and finish for your bar top.

You can even create epoxy river tables by starting with our UltraClear Deep Pour Epoxy before coating it with our UltraClear Table Top Resin. These resins can be further customized with deep or vibrant color infusions by using the Pigmently Mica Powder Pigments and Resin Dyes featured in the Epoxy Colorants Section of our store.

3. Easy Cleaning Process

Another big benefit of having bar top epoxy is the ability to clean up almost any mess with just soap and warm water. And when there's a tougher stain or spill, you can use diluted alcohol or bleach to restore your clear resin surface.

4. Zero Toxins

A lot of surface finishes contain VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). At UltraClear, however, we sell epoxy resin that’s been sourced entirely within the USA and is 100% VOC free, which makes them perfect for restaurants or bars that serve both food and drinks.

This also provides you with a finish that’s virtually odorless while pouring the resin, making it ideal for in-home applications.

5. Resistance to Scratches

Our UltraClear Bar and Table Top Epoxy cures at a Shore D Hardness rating of 98; it provides a high level of durability and scratch resistance.

For comparison, a 98 Shore D Hardness rating is even tougher than those iconic construction-site hard hats that are literally designed to protect people from fatal injuries.

The finish does not need to be reapplied regularly, and even when the time comes, years down the road, refreshing it is an easy process!

If, after years of heavy use, you decide your finish is finally ready, a fresh epoxy layer can simply be poured over the original coating to make it look and feel good as new.
