The strength and beauty of epoxy resin flooring are unmatched by any other flooring material. Whether you’re buying new resin flooring or protecting an old one, we’ll answer some of the most common questions you may have.
What is epoxy flooring?
Epoxy is a mixture of liquid resin and hardener used for covering industrial floors. During hardening, epoxy flooring forms a rigid, protective layer that is strong and durable enough to cope with most service conditions, making it ideal for industrial applications.
How long does epoxy flooring last for?
Our epoxy flooring can last 10-20 years depending on traffic, wear and tear, and how well it’s maintained.
What are the benefits of epoxy flooring?
Epoxy flooring has numerous benefits. It is a very cost-effective solution for covering existing flooring, including tiles, without having to remove them beforehand. Installation can also be completed quickly, resulting in minimal disruption to business operations. As well as being hard-wearing and durable, epoxy flooring is resistant to water damage, stains, chemicals, scratches, and impacts. The material is hygienic and easy to clean, making it ideal for food preparation areas, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and hospitals.
Does it damage easily?
Not at all! Quite the contrary! They are incredibly durable and are designed to withstand heavy traffic and impacts, so hot liquids and chemical spills won’t damage them.
What is the difference between epoxy flooring and concrete flooring?
There’s probably no floor that is as hard-wearing as concrete, but you have to seal it properly and keep it in good condition to ensure it is durable. The epoxy floor covering will give your concrete flooring a strong, durable finish that will last for many years.
Are epoxy floors safe?
Because epoxy is slip-resistant, non-toxic, hygienic, and easy to clean and maintain, it is a very safe floor coating.
How do you maintain epoxy flooring?
Taking care of your industrial epoxy flooring is straightforward and easy. Keep the floors clean by sweeping off dust and debris, then washing them with detergent. It is best to wipe up spills as soon as possible, most of which can be cleaned up with a damp cloth.

What happens before the flooring system is applied?
To achieve a bond between the substrate and the new resin floor system, the correct method of Floor Preparation is essential before installing any flooring system. For all industrial and commercial resin flooring systems, we use Dust Enclosed Shot Blasting, Diamond Grinding, Scabbling/Planing, and if necessary, Hot Compressed Air Systems.
