Epoxy floor coatings can be slippery when wet; for example, in sanitary areas or large kitchens you can choose to mix an anti-slip powder into the coating.

Yes, epoxy can be applied over most existing floors; the most important thing is that the floor is clean and free of dust. 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 full curing and maximum (chemical) load, one should allow approximately 7 days.

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

The lifespan of an Epoxy floor coating can vary depending on several factors, such as the traffic on the floor, the quality of the materials and the quality of the installation. Our coating lasts (if applied and maintained correctly) 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 discolor and degrade under the influence of UV radiation and extreme weather conditions. However, there are special types of coatings available that are designed to be more resistant to outdoor conditions.

Although Epoxy floor coating offers many advantages, there are also some disadvantages. Epoxy can be slippery when wet, although this can be remedied with anti-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 product. For larger damage it may be necessary to sand the damaged part of the floor and recoat it. It is important to know that the color of the new coating may not exactly match the older, existing coating.

To apply epoxy to your floor most effectively, follow these steps:

Prepare: 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.

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

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

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

Yes, epoxy can definitely be applied to a concrete floor. Concrete is even one of the most suitable surfaces for epoxy coatings because of its strength and flatness. Before you apply the epoxy, it is important to ensure that the concrete floor is clean, dry and free of cracks, oil or dust. Pre-treating the floor, such as sanding or applying a primer, may also be necessary to ensure good adhesion.

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

That is certainly possible! We have the ability to mix any color for you. Please contact us for the possibilities.

Usually you can apply the next coat after 12 hours.

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

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

UV resistance: PU coatings are generally UV-stable and do not yellow quickly in the sun, whereas epoxy can yellow when exposed to UV radiation. We address this by adding a UV-Blocker to our coatings.

Chemical resistance: Epoxy generally has better resistance to chemicals than PU, which is why it is 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:

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

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

Exposure to Chemicals: 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 poured floor such as epoxy or PU may be suitable, while other options might be better for a more natural look.

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 upkeep.

It's always a good idea to seek advice. Contact us if you have any questions about what suits you best.

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

Concrete floors: One of the most common types for applying coatings such as epoxy or polyurethane, because of their durability and ability to protect concrete against wear, chemicals, and moisture.

Wooden floors: Special coatings are available for wood to protect it 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 floors: In factories or warehouses strong coatings such as epoxy are often used for their resistance to heavy machinery and chemical spills.

Commercial floors: In shops, offices, and public spaces coatings are applied for aesthetics and durability, often with slip-resistant properties.

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

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

Each floor and environment has specific requirements, so it is important to choose the right coating that fits the intended use and the characteristics of the floor.

Our coatings are resistant to a certain degree of heat (such as a cup of hot tea or a pan of boiling water), but can discolor, soften, or be damaged at extremely high temperatures. However, they are suitable for normal household or commercial use, where direct exposure to very high temperatures is unlikely.

Yes, Epoxy floor coating can discolor under certain circumstances. The main factors that can lead to discoloration are:

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

Chemical Substances: Some chemicals can react with epoxy and cause discoloration.

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

To minimize discoloration, you can choose 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 preserve the original color of the coating.

Before you apply epoxy coating, your floor must meet a number of conditions to ensure 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 blistering or peeling.

Level and Repaired: Any cracks, holes, or unevenness in the floor must be repaired and leveled. A level substrate ensures an even application of the coating.

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

Moisture content: Check the moisture content of the floor. Excessive moisture can cause problems. The acceptable moisture level may vary depending on the epoxy product.

No old Coatings or Sealers: If there are old paint layers, sealers, or other coatings on the floor, these 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 manufacturer's instructions for the epoxy coating and, if necessary, seek professional advice for specific situations.

When applying Epoxy floor coating, it is important to take into account various safety aspects. First ensure a well-ventilated area by opening windows and doors and, if necessary, using fans. This helps to remove vapors and odors. Personal protection is crucial; wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing such as long sleeves and long pants. 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 during work to prevent fire hazards. Store all materials safely and out of reach of children and pets. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, both for mixing and for applying the coating. Also make sure you know what to do in case of contact with the skin or eyes, or if vapors are inhaled. Finally, use the correct tools and make sure they are in good condition to prevent accidents. By following these safety measures, you can work safely with Epoxy floor coating.
