Epoxy Flooring
A seamless, hard-wearing floor built from resin and hardener over a properly prepared slab.
An epoxy floor is made of two elements: an epoxy resin and a hardener. The resin is roughly two thirds of the formula, the hardener the final third. Mixed together they cure into a single seamless layer bonded to the concrete — not a coat of paint sitting on top of it.
The part that decides whether an epoxy floor lasts five years or fails in one is the preparation, and it happens before any epoxy is opened. The slab has to be ground or shot-blasted so the surface is porous enough to bond, and any cracks, pits or oil contamination have to be dealt with first. A floor laid over a sealed or greasy slab will peel no matter how good the product is.
Curing takes about 72 hours. What is left behind is a tough, plastic-like surface capable of handling up to 3,500 psi — which in practice means you can park on it, drag toolboxes across it and spill things on it without leaving a mark.
We will tell you honestly whether your slab is a good candidate before you spend anything. A floor with rising damp or deep oil saturation needs that fixed first — covering it with epoxy only buys a year.
