The durability of Epoxy Flooring
Apart from producing an aesthetically satisfying finish, epoxy flooring gives high-impact resistant floors. There's always an issue with seamed floors as they are prone to chemical and stain penetration, and lack liquid, dirt, and dust resistance. However, floors with grout have the durability advantages of epoxy floor coating.
Epoxy coating is expected to last 5 to 20 years years in a high-traffic area where there are many vehicles, machinery movement, or even foot traffic. The floor’s lifespan increases when properly maintained; you can expect it to last 10, 20, or more years in lower-traffic areas. It's easy to patch worn areas, requiring little downtime due to rapid application and quick curing.

Here’s How we Apply Epoxy Flooring
Preparation of Concrete Surface
Before applying an epoxy coating, the new slab of concrete floor cures properly for 30 to 60 days. The concrete floor must be cleaned deeply with no dust or dirt particles left.
- Surface Priming- Once the floor is cleaned, we apply suitable primer ( refer to this page for more details) before it receives epoxy coating.
- Mixing the Components- You can choose from the range of epoxy flooring, which requires mixing all the essential components using a forced-action mixer in the right proportions.
- Three-component system- Epoxy Resin, Epoxy Hardener and Special Fillers
- Application- Without delay, the mixer is used all over the primed cover. Other related coats are applied. Lastly, the outer layer, considered the most important layer, is applied.
