Epoxy Floors Bringing Surfaces to Life
Concrete floors in commercial and industrial environments often require additional treatments due to chemical exposure or high traffic. Resin coatings and polymer toppings help protect and enhance these floors. Epoxy coatings provide a durable, chemically resistant finish.
We offer a range of epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylic floor coatings in smooth or anti-slip finishes, customized to client needs. Options include multi-layered resin and screed systems, as depicted in the diagram below.
Epoxy Floor Paint Before and After
Epoxy Floor Coating As Protective Coatings
Concrete floors in commercial and industrial settings often need additional treatments to handle chemicals or heavy traffic. Resin coatings and polymer toppings are used to protect and enhance concrete floors, preventing early wear and tear. Epoxy coatings provide a durable, chemically resistant, and decorative finish.
They include a variety of epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylic sealers available in smooth or anti-slip finishes. Our customised solutions range from three to five layers of various resins and screeds, tailored to client needs, as shown in the diagram below.
Epoxy floor coating is created by mixing two chemicals, a resin and a hardener, which react to form a rigid, strong polymer through a process called curing. This process, influenced by temperature and the specific chemicals used, can range from minutes to hours.
Epoxy coatings are much thicker than standard concrete sealers and are favoured for their durability, light-reflective properties, and wide range of colour options, making them popular in both residential and commercial settings.
Epoxy flooring is a top choice for its durability, ease of maintenance, and versatility. It withstands heavy traffic, resists stains, and enhances brightness by reflecting light. Available in many colours and patterns, epoxy offers both practical and aesthetic benefits, making it ideal for various settings.
Enhanced Durability & Waterproof: Epoxy-coated concrete floors are highly durable, extending lifespan and reducing maintenance, allowing focus on core business activities.
Efficient Installation: The epoxy flooring installation is quick, minimizing downtime and enabling faster resumption of business operations.
Simplified Maintenance: Epoxy coatings create a non-porous surface that is easy to clean, reducing maintenance hassles.
Customisable Aesthetics: Available in various colours and patterns, epoxy flooring can be tailored to enhance your company’s style or branding.
Chemical Resistance: Epoxy is ideal for areas prone to chemical spills, providing robust protection for the flooring.
Enhanced Safety Features: Epoxy floors offer resistance to slippage, extreme temperatures, and impacts, enhancing workplace safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
The installation time for epoxy flooring can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the area, the condition of the existing floor, the complexity of the job, and the specific type of epoxy system being applied. However, a general timeline can be outlined to give you an idea of what to expect:
- Preparation: This initial phase involves cleaning, repairing, and priming the existing floor surface. Depending on the floor’s condition, preparation might take a day or more. For floors that require extensive repairs or thorough cleaning, this stage can be the most time-consuming part of the process.
- Priming and Base Coat Application: After the floor is prepared, a primer is applied. Once the primer is dry, the base coat of epoxy is applied. Each layer typically requires at least 12 to 24 hours to dry, though this can vary based on the product used and environmental conditions.
- Decorative Flakes and Additional Coats: If you’re adding decorative flakes or other textures to the floor, this is done after the base coat is partially cured but still tacky. After broadcasting the flakes, you may need to apply an additional clear coat to seal them in. Each layer adds more drying and curing time, generally another 12 to 24 hours per coat.
- Top Coat Application: The final step is applying the top coat, which seals everything in and provides the surface layer of the flooring. Like the other layers, this requires drying and curing time, usually around 24 hours for initial dry to touch and up to 72 hours for light foot traffic.
- Curing Time: While the floor might be dry to the touch and able to handle light foot traffic within about three days after the final coat, it can take up to 7 days for the epoxy to fully cure and achieve maximum hardness and chemical resistance. For industrial settings or floors that will bear heavy loads, it’s often recommended to wait even longer, up to 14 days, before resuming full operations.
In Summary
The entire process from start to finish can take anywhere from 4 to 8 days for a standard residential project, assuming optimal conditions for drying and curing. This estimate includes preparation, application, and drying times but can extend further if the project is more complex or if environmental conditions are not ideal (e.g., high humidity or low temperatures). Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific products, as drying and curing times can vary.
Epoxy flooring is renowned for its durability and longevity, often lasting 20 years or more in environments where it is properly installed and maintained. However, the actual lifespan can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as the quality of the installation, the environment it’s used in, and how well it’s maintained.
Maintaining an epoxy floor is straightforward. Regular sweeping and mopping with mild detergents are usually sufficient. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches.
Using bleach to clean an epoxy floor is generally advised against, as it may harm the surface and lead to discoloration. Bleach, being a strong chemical, has the potential to degrade the epoxy coating, resulting in a rough and uneven surface. Moreover, the fumes emitted by bleach can pose health risks if inhaled.
After it dries and sets, epoxy resin becomes waterproof. This means that once epoxy has fully hardened, it acts as a barrier that stops almost anything – be it liquid or solid, like water or moist air – from passing through it. Thanks to this property, epoxy is often chosen for use on garage floors, shower walls, and to protect outdoor tables, ensuring they stay dry and undamaged by water.
Epoxy flooring and tiles both have long lifespans, often lasting until you decide to change your decor. However, epoxy is much tougher than tiles. In homes, it’s not unusual for tiles to crack, especially in areas with lots of walking. Epoxy doesn’t have this problem; it can handle heavy foot traffic without damage.
Epoxy flooring creates a smooth, continuous surface that shields the underlying concrete from chemicals, dirt, liquids, and other harmful substances. This seamless protection makes cleaning straightforward—simply use a scrubber or a regular mop with any general cleaner. There’s no need for waxing or buffing to keep it looking great.
