The Best, Safest, Most Cost-Effective Factory Floor
Floors are the hardest working visible components of a building. Add a factory environment to them and that is hugely amplified. They are subjected to severe friction, high traffic, intense heat, chemicals, oils, heavy mobile machinery, and heavy loads.
Concrete floors often battle with longevity in a factory environment because they have not been laid by specialist concrete highway companies but by builders. A concrete highway will do well in a factory but concrete slabs/floors will deteriorate, crack or experience delamination. Regular concrete floors are also porous and will stain quickly, soon looking like a mess.
Painting epoxy flooring installation on is a brilliant solution for factory-type scenarios. When laid on a stable, good substrate it supplies a flexible, durable, seamless, safe floor.
What Is Industrial Epoxy Flooring?
Before involving any epoxy products, a professional specialist will prepare your concrete substrate with repairs, hardening of weak areas with products like Sikafloor CureHard-24, and diamond grinding to open pores.
Through a combination of resins, hardeners, and retardants, epoxy resin flooring is pourable with a slightly higher viscosity than paint. Once correctly poured, the epoxy solution creeps into every molecular hole or shape creating extremely good contact with the substrate. Exposure to air is a catalyst for its chemical chain reactions. The curing process results in a superior, durable thermoset-plastic coating which takes the excellent contact of the two layers and turns it into an incredibly strong bond.
Painting epoxy flooring, when cured, is an excellent protective barrier, resisting the harshest conditions in high-demand settings like factories, hospitals, and manufacturing plants.
Safety And Productivity
The ever-important health and safety factors are improved in any factory with painting epoxy flooring.
By brightening the work environment, with this non-slip surface, you get a 400% brighter floor which reduces the risk of low-visibility accidents and slip trip and fall accidents. There are add-on elements available such as skid-resistant additives to counter the effects of spilled powder and liquids.
Cleaning And Maintenance
Being almost completely impermeable it looks attractive long term and is easy for your maintenance team to clean. Harsh cleaning chemicals and high-pressure washing can be used without harming the floor.
Substrate Protection
Painting epoxy flooring services protect the concrete substrate from acid, chemicals, and serious damage from heavy loads and heavy friction.
The characteristics of epoxy flooring amplify the strength of your concrete substrate. By increasing the weight capacity of the floor and preventing cracks that would otherwise start a never-ending run of new cracks.
Specialized Properties
Painting of epoxy floors is an excellent option regardless of your company’s unique needs because the product is highly customizable. You can choose colors, texture, and add-on properties.
