Epoxy and resin floors that stay stuck down.
Coatings, self-levelling systems, trowelled screeds and anti-slip finishes for warehouses, workshops, kitchens, plant rooms and car parks — over substrates we have tested first.
Four builds, four jobs.
| System | Thickness | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Roller-applied coating | 0.3–0.5 mm | Plant rooms, stores, light-traffic areas, refresh of a sound existing floor |
| Self-levelling resin | 2–3 mm | Workshops, production areas, showrooms, labs — seamless and easy to clean |
| Trowelled screed | 4–9 mm | Commercial kitchens, loading bays, heavy plant, areas taking impact or thermal shock |
| Anti-slip broadcast | 2–4 mm | Wet process areas, ramps, external walkways, washdown zones |
| ESD / conductive resin | 2–3 mm | Electronics assembly, server and battery rooms, some laboratory areas |
Specified on survey against traffic, chemical exposure, temperature and cleaning regime.
Most of the job happens before the resin.
An epoxy floor fails at the bond line, not in the resin. Everything that matters is decided before the first coat.
- Shot-blasting or diamond grinding to open the concrete profile
- Full removal of any failed existing coating — not an overcoat
- Moisture content measured and recorded; DPM or moisture-tolerant primer if required
- Cracks and spalls cut out and repaired with resin mortar
- Movement joints identified and carried through, not bridged
- Applied over laitance, dust or a power-floated slab that was never opened up
- Applied over a damp slab with no moisture test
- Overcoated onto an old, failing system
- Recoat window missed, so coats do not chemically bond to each other
Priced around your shutdown.
Resin needs the area empty, warm and dry, and it needs its cure time. Where production or trading cannot stop, the floor is taken in bays and the sequence is agreed before mobilising.
- Area split into bays that can be released one at a time
- Night and weekend working where daytime release is impossible
- Dust-screened and ventilated; fume management agreed in advance
- Cure schedule stated per bay so nothing goes back into service early
- Product data sheets and cure schedule for the system applied
- Moisture test records for the substrate
- Line-marking layout as installed
- Cleaning and maintenance guidance for the finish
Common questions.
What is the difference between epoxy coating, self-levelling and screed?
Thickness and duty. A roller-applied coating is a few hundred microns and suits light traffic and appearance. A self-levelling system at 2–3 mm gives a seamless, hard-wearing floor for workshops and plant rooms. A trowelled screed at 4–9 mm takes impact, heavy point loads and thermal shock — industrial kitchens, loading areas, heavy plant.
How long before we can use the floor?
Typically light foot traffic after around 24 hours, full traffic after three to five days, and full chemical resistance after about seven — but it depends on the system and the ambient temperature, and UAE site conditions change the figures. The cure schedule for the specified product is given with the quotation and built into the programme.
Why does the preparation cost so much of the job?
Because resin does not stick to dirt, laitance or a sealed slab. The concrete has to be mechanically opened up — shot-blasted or diamond-ground — so the resin can key into it. On a failed existing floor, the old coating also has to come off entirely. Preparation is routinely more than half the labour, and skipping it is why most epoxy floors peel.
Can you apply epoxy over a slab that is still damp?
Not a standard system. A damp slab drives moisture vapour up through the resin and lifts it off in sheets. Either the slab is given time to dry and is tested, or a moisture-tolerant primer or damp-proof membrane is installed first. We test and record the reading before specifying which.
Do you provide anti-slip finishes?
Yes. Aggregate is broadcast into the wet resin and sealed over, and the grade of aggregate sets how coarse the finish is. There is a trade-off: the more slip resistance, the harder the floor is to clean. For kitchens and wet production areas we propose a grade that balances both and explain where it sits.
Can you do line marking and bay demarcation?
Yes — walkways, bays, hatching, hazard zones and plant outlines, applied in the resin system itself rather than as tape, so it wears with the floor instead of lifting off it.
Send us the area, the traffic and the shutdown window.
We will survey the slab, test it, propose the system that suits the duty and price the preparation honestly — it is most of the job. New enquiries are normally answered within 48 hours.
