Epoxy Floor Coatings
The most widely preferred flooring system for production and storage areas where mechanical strength, chemical resistance and hygiene are required together.
There is a reason it is the industry’s default floor.
An epoxy floor coating is not a colored surface painted onto concrete. It is a system that bonds with the concrete and forms a dense, non-porous shell, protecting the floor against abrasion, impact and chemical contact. Its hardness, cleanability and wide range of use make it the first solution that comes to mind for industrial floors.
For most production and storage areas, epoxy is the right starting point. If your facility’s conditions have a more specific character, for example continuously wet and hot processes, sudden temperature changes or a need for high flexibility, you will find a short comparison at the end of this page pointing you to the right system.
- Hard, durable surface: Handles intensive pedestrian and vehicle traffic and heavy loads.
- Chemical resistance: Provides protection against many chemicals and spills.
- Non-porous and hygienic: Easy to clean, does not hold dust, inhospitable to bacteria.
- Wide range of options: Adaptable from thin coatings to heavy-duty screeds.
The floor of dry, general-purpose production environments.
Epoxy systems are preferred across a wide range of areas where mechanical and chemical resistance is the priority and ambient conditions are balanced.
Production halls
Manufacturing and assembly areas in constant use.
Warehousing and logistics
Racking systems, forklift traffic and loading areas.
Parking and circulation
Surfaces exposed to vehicle traffic and constant wear.
Technical and service rooms
Maintenance, workshop and equipment areas.
General manufacturing areas
Multi-purpose production floors operating under balanced conditions.
Showrooms and exhibitions
Clean, even surfaces where aesthetics also matter.
Views from the field.
Sample floor images from applications in different facilities and conditions.
Not a single surface but a layered system.
The performance of an epoxy floor depends less on the visible top surface than on the correct build-up of the layers beneath it. Each layer takes on a different duty, and they work together.
- Finish coatDefining the surface’s appearance, texture and cleanability, the topmost protective layer.
- Body coatCarrying the mechanical strength, with thickness set by the facility’s loads, the main layer.
- PrimerThe bonding layer between the concrete and the coating, providing the adhesion of the whole system.
- Surface preparationWhere the concrete is mechanically cleaned and profiled: the stage that determines the adhesion of the entire system.
- Concrete slabThe existing substrate the system is built on, its condition assessed beforehand.
One material family, different applications.
Epoxy is not a single product but a family of systems adapted to the facility’s loads and expectations.
Thin-film coating
An economical thin layer that prevents dusting and protects the surface.
Self-leveling
A flow-applied system that produces a smooth, seamless surface.
Aggregate broadcast
Heavy-duty areas requiring high thickness and mechanical strength.
Anti-slip textured
A textured finish giving the surface grip for safety.
What is expected of an epoxy floor.
High mechanical strength
Long life under intensive traffic, impact and abrasion.
Chemical resistance
Protection against many chemicals and spills.
Non-porous surface
A dense surface preventing liquids and chemicals from penetrating the concrete.
Easy to clean
A low-maintenance surface fit for hygiene audits.
Dust-free
Prevents concrete dusting and keeps the environment clean.
Color and aesthetics
A wide color range and a neat, professional appearance.
Thickness that scales with the need.
The values below are indicative typical ranges only. The final system and thickness are determined by assessing the facility’s load, chemical and usage conditions on site.
Epoxy, or another system?
