Epoxy floor coatings can be slippery when wet, so in sanitary areas or commercial kitchens, for example, an anti-slip powder can be mixed into the coating.

Yes, epoxy can be applied over most existing floors, the most important thing is that the floor is clean and dust-free. In addition, it is always advised to degrease the floor and pre-treat it by sanding.

The curing of an epoxy floor can vary and is influenced by temperature and humidity. Most floors are dry to walk on after 12-24 hours. For complete curing and maximum (chemical) stress, one should count on approximately 7 days.

Epoxy floors are durable and long lasting. Our water based coatings are solvent free and therefore have no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The lifespan of an epoxy floor coating can vary depending on several factors, such as floor traffic, quality of materials and quality of installation. Our coating lasts (if properly applied and maintained) 10 years in commercial or industrial environments, and often much longer in a home.

Epoxy floor coatings are generally not suitable for outdoor use because they can discolour and break down under the influence of UV radiation and extreme weather conditions. However, there are special types of coatings available that are designed to better withstand outdoor conditions.

Although epoxy floor coatings offer many advantages, there are also some disadvantages. Epoxy can be slippery when wet, although this can be remedied with non-slip additives. It can also be prone to scratches and may discolor or yellow after prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Yes, damage to epoxy floor coatings can usually be repaired. Small scratches or cracks can be filled with an epoxy repair compound. For more extensive damage, it may be necessary to sand and recoat the damaged area of ​​the floor. It is important to note that the color of the new coating may not exactly match the older, existing coating.

To best apply epoxy to your floor, follow these steps:

Preparation : Make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, grease or oil. Repair any cracks.

Apply primer : Apply an epoxy primer for better adhesion.

Mixing : Mix the epoxy resin and hardener according to the instructions.

Application : Apply the epoxy evenly with a roller. Work in small sections.

This depends on the number of layers. On average, our coating costs approximately €9 per m2 (based on 2 layers).

Yes, epoxy can certainly be applied to a concrete floor. In fact, concrete is one of the most suitable surfaces for epoxy coatings due to its strength and flatness. Before applying the epoxy, it is important to ensure that the concrete floor is clean, dry and free of cracks, oil or dust. Preparing the floor, such as sanding or applying a primer, may also be necessary to ensure good adhesion.

The difference is in the thickness and method of application: epoxy floor coating is a thinner layer that is rolled or painted, while an epoxy cast floor is thicker and is poured and spread for a seamless finish.

That's certainly possible! We have the ability to mix any color for you. Contact us for the possibilities.

Usually you can apply the next layer after 12 hours.

The difference between PU (polyurethane) and epoxy coatings lies mainly in their physical properties and applications:

Flexibility: PU is more flexible than epoxy. This makes PU more resistant to scratches and impacts, while epoxy is harder and more wear-resistant.

UV resistance: PU coatings are generally UV stable and do not discolour quickly in the sun, while epoxy can yellow when exposed to UV radiation. We solve this by adding a UV blocker to our coatings.

Chemical Resistance: Epoxy generally has better chemical resistance than PU, making it often used in industrial environments.

To determine which coating is suitable for your type of floor, there are a number of factors you should consider:

Type of Floor : Different floors such as concrete, wood, or tile require specific coatings. For concrete, epoxy and polyurethane are popular choices.

Space Use : In industrial or commercial spaces where heavy loads occur, a strong and durable coating such as epoxy is ideal.

Chemical Exposure : If your floor is exposed to chemicals, oil or acids, a chemically resistant coating such as epoxy is recommended.

Aesthetic Preferences : For a glossy, seamless finish, a cast floor such as epoxy or PU may be suitable, while for a more natural look other options may be better.

Budget and Maintenance : Also consider your budget and how much maintenance you are willing to do. Some coatings may be more expensive to purchase but require less maintenance.

It is always good to get advice. Contact us if you have any questions about what is best for you.

Floor coatings can be applied to various types of floors, including:

Concrete Floors : One of the most common types for applying coatings such as epoxy or polyurethane, due to their durability and ability to protect concrete from abrasion, chemicals, and moisture.

Wood Floors : Special coatings are available for wood to protect them from wear, water and UV radiation.

Garage Floors : Often concrete, these floors benefit from epoxy coatings that are resistant to oil stains, tire marks, and heavy loads.

Industrial Flooring : In factories or warehouses, tough coatings such as epoxy are often used for their resistance to heavy machinery and chemical spills.

Commercial Flooring : In retail, offices, and public spaces, coatings are used for aesthetics and durability, often with slip-resistant properties.

Kitchens and Bathrooms : In these areas, coatings that are waterproof and easy to clean are essential.

Sports Flooring : Specific coatings are used to provide cushioning and grip in gyms and sports facilities.

Every floor and environment has specific requirements, so it is important to choose the right coating that suits the use and properties of the floor.

Our coatings can withstand a certain amount of heat (such as a cup of hot tea or a pan of boiling water), but can discolour, soften or damage at extremely high temperatures. However, they are suitable for normal domestic or commercial use where direct exposure to very high temperatures is unlikely.

Yes, epoxy floor coating can discolour under certain circumstances. The main factors that can lead to discolouration are:

UV Exposure : Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause epoxy coatings to yellow or discolour. This is one of the most common causes of discolouration in epoxy. We address this by adding a UV blocker to our coatings.

Chemicals : Some chemicals may react with epoxy and cause discoloration.

Age : Over time, epoxy may naturally discolour, especially if exposed to the factors mentioned above.

To minimize discoloration, you can opt for a UV-resistant topcoat or a specially formulated epoxy that is more resistant to UV light and chemicals. Regular maintenance and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight can also help maintain the original color of the coating.

Before applying epoxy coating, your floor must meet a number of conditions to ensure that the coating adheres well and lasts a long time:

Clean : The floor must be free of dirt, dust, grease, oil, or other contaminants. A thorough cleaning is essential.

Dry : The floor must be completely dry. Any moisture can affect the adhesion of the epoxy and lead to problems such as bubbling or peeling.

Level and Repaired : Any cracks, holes or unevenness in the floor should be repaired and leveled. A level surface will ensure an even application of the coating.

Roughened : Especially with smooth concrete floors it is often necessary to roughen the surface (for example by sanding or blasting). This ensures better adhesion of the epoxy.

Moisture content : Check the moisture content of the floor. Too much moisture can cause problems. Acceptable moisture content can vary depending on the epoxy product.

No Old Coatings or Seals : If there are old paint, seals or other coatings on the floor, they may need to be removed before applying the epoxy.

Temperature and Humidity : Ensure that the conditions in the room are suitable. The ideal temperature and humidity for applying epoxy vary by product, so check the specifications.

It is important to carefully follow the epoxy coating manufacturer's instructions and seek professional advice for specific situations if necessary.

When applying epoxy floor coatings, it is important to take various safety aspects into account. First of all, ensure a well-ventilated room by opening windows and doors and using fans if necessary. This helps remove fumes and odors. Personal protection is crucial; wear nitrile gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing such as long sleeves and long trousers. Be careful with the epoxy resin and hardener as these are chemicals that can cause irritation. Keep the area free of open flames and do not smoke while working to avoid fire hazards. Keep all materials safe and out of the reach of children and pets. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, both for mixing and applying the coating. Also make sure you know what to do in case of contact with the skin or eyes, or in case of inhalation of vapors. Finally, use the right tools and make sure they are in good condition to avoid accidents. By following these safety measures, you can work safely with epoxy floor coatings.
