The Power of Epoxy
Industrial environments demand flooring that is tough, durable, and safe. Epoxy flooring has become the gold standard for warehouses, factories, and commercial spaces across the UK.
What is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a resin-based coating system that is applied over concrete substrates. It consists of a two-part mixture: a resin and a hardener. When mixed, they chemically react to form a rigid plastic material that is strong, resistant to degradation, and bonds extremely well to its substrate.
Key Benefits
Installation Process
1. Surface Preparation: The most critical step. We use shot blasting or diamond grinding to remove contaminants and open the concrete pores.
2. Priming: A primer coat is applied to seal the substrate and ensure adhesion.
3. Body Coat: The main epoxy layer is applied, often with anti-slip additives if required.
4. Top Coat: A final sealant layer for UV stability and scratch resistance.
Maintenance
Epoxy floors are low maintenance. Regular sweeping and mopping with a neutral pH cleaner will keep them looking new for years. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull the finish over time.
