Epoxy or polyurethane flooring — which should I choose?

Epoxy is hard, chemically resistant and ideal for warehouses and production areas. Polyurethane and PU screeds handle thermal shock, steam cleaning and heavy impact better, so they suit kitchens, cold stores and food and beverage plants.

How long before the floor can be used?

It depends on the system and ambient conditions. Fast-curing polyaspartic systems return to service far quicker than standard epoxy; the return-to-service schedule is confirmed before work starts so operations can be planned around it.

Does the existing floor need to be removed?

Not usually. Preparation is normally by shot blasting or diamond grinding to open the surface, followed by repair of cracks and spalls. Full removal is only needed if the existing coating or screed is failing or contaminated.

Can the floor be made slip resistant?

Yes. Anti-slip aggregate can be broadcast into the system and the finish graded to the required level for wet areas, ramps and processing zones.
