Initial Consultation and Preparation
This will help discuss the type of space you want to cover in detail, along with your specific needs and preferences.
This helps determine the scope of your project. Our installation team assesses the site conditions, ensuring the surface is suitable for epoxy application.
Surface Assessment
The condition of your existing floor is crucial. Our team of professionals checks for cracks, uneven surfaces or contamination that could interfere with the epoxy’s adhesion. If any issue is detected, we address it during the preparation phase.
Surface Preparation
Having a proper foundation is the first step to a successful epoxy floor installation. This step ensures that the epoxy adheres correctly and provides a long-lasting finish.
Cleaning and Degreasing
We thoroughly clean the surface to remove dust, dirt, grease or any other contaminant. This step helps prevent adhesion issues and ensures a smooth finish.
Grinding or Shot Blasting
We use specialised equipment, such as grinders or shot blasters, to roughen the surface and create a texture that allows the epoxy to bond securely to the floor.
Repairs
It is common to have some small or large cracks, holes or uneven areas, which we fill and level using suitable fillers and patching compounds. This ensures that your floor is then smooth and ready for epoxy application.
Primer Application
We apply a primer layer to the prepared surface to enhance adhesion. This layer also seals the floor and prevents air bubbles from forming during the epoxy application. We typically let the primer dry for a short period before proceeding to the next step–mixing.
Mixing the Epoxy Resin
We mix epoxy resin and hardener in precise proportions to activate the curing process.
The mixture needs to be prepared correctly to achieve the desired durability and finish. Our team works very quickly during this step as the epoxy begins to harden once mixed.
Application of Epoxy Coating
We pour the mixed epoxy onto the floor and spread it evenly using rollers and squeegees. Our team ensures a uniform application of the coating to achieve a consistent appearance.
Optional Additives
Have you chosen to include decorative elements like flakes or metallic pigments? If so, we add them during this stage. These enhancements provide the custom look you want for your floor.
Topcoat Application
Once we apply the base layer, we add a topcoat for extra protection and shine. This layer helps enhance the floor’s resistance to wear, chemicals and UV damage, ensuring it remains in excellent condition for years to come.
The Process of Curing
Our same-day epoxy floors cure quickly, allowing you to use the space within a few hours of installation.
Although the surface is ready for light foot traffic on the same day, we advise you to wait slightly longer before placing heavy furniture or equipment.
