Reduce Your Environmental Impact Where You Can

We know that epoxy resin flooring is hard-wearing, cost-effective and a practical option for many industries. Epoxy coatings technology is becoming more and more popular as a flooring solution for a broad range of industries.

The coatings are designed to protect the concrete substrate and enhance the surface’s appearance. It looks great with its smooth and seamless finish. But what’s its impact on the environment?

It lasts. Reducing waste is an area of discussion within the construction industry. The industry currently creates over 100 million tonnes of waste per year, 10% of which consists of unused materials disposed of in landfills. Epoxy resin flooring is a durable, easy to maintain product which means less wasted material ending up in our landfills.

Epoxy flooring won’t leave cracks for dirt and moisture to gather in and it offers you an easy to clean flooring solution. The seamless, specifically calculated system is created on-site and is laid to fit perfectly into the complete area – meaning minimal on-site waste.
There are no leftover or damaged pieces of flooring and no offcuts to have to dispose of. No wastage.

Surface Systems Expert Advice On Some Common Epoxy Resin Flooring Concerns

Put simply, epoxy flooring is a cost-effective and durable flooring solution for many industries. It’s a two-part product made up of a resin and an activator and is applied under specific conditions. It cures and hardens thanks to a chemical reaction.
It’s a science!

Epoxy resin can be a complicated material to install without experienced and professional floor layers mixing and applying it.

Epoxy resin flooring should look smooth and clean. Does yours?

By choosing an experienced, knowledgeable industrial resin flooring company such as our Surface Systems team, these common concerns shouldn’t be of any interest to you!
However, let’s look at some problems that might occur with a poorly laid floor.
The finish isn’t smooth.

An inconsistent finish to your floor is likely to be due to installing the wrong quantity of epoxy resin.

The right amount is key to ensuring a level, or self-levelling, and even coating. Too little means poor coverage, and too much means the curing is uneven.

Decent tools such as an adjustable speed mixer, and thorough mixing will make sure the epoxy sets evenly. Your installation team should know exactly the right temperature for the flooring to be mixed and applied to avoid these issues.

Air bubbles and pinholes.

Was the existing floor checked for humidity before proceeding with the floor coating? If the concrete was fresh, your chosen installers should have allowed 28 days before the epoxy coating is laid onto fresh concrete.

The correct primer that is used depends on the floor’s moisture content.
Brush or roller marks.

A spiked roller should be used on a self-levelling floor to eliminate bubbles. Back rolling will allow for a more uniform distribution of the product. There is an art to laying an epoxy resin floor!

Why is the new floor dull or discoloured?
Epoxy resin flooring comes in a choice of colours and finishes. But it shouldn’t look dull and discoloured.

Poor mixing and the wrong ratio of resin to activator are likely to give a discoloured and dull finish. The mix may have been left standing for too long. It may have had exposure to chemicals or to the sun when it was drying.

My floor’s peeling!

This is a problem you could really do without. All the benefits of the epoxy flooring are lost fast.

It’s all about the preparation. Preparation is key!
