High Build Epoxy Resin Coating: A Successful Commercial Garage Floor Repair by Industrial Flooring Contractors Ltd
At Industrial Flooring Contractors Ltd (IFC), we specialise in providing durable, high-performance flooring solutions for industrial and commercial environments. One of our recent projects involved repairing a cracked and damaged commercial garage floor using a high build epoxy resin coating. We are pleased to share the details of this successful transformation and the key benefits that our solution provides.
The Challenge: Cracked and Damaged Commercial Garage Floor
The garage in question had endured years of heavy use, including constant vehicle movement, foot traffic, and exposure to oils, chemicals, and other harsh substances. Over time, this led to significant cracks and surface damage, compromising both the safety and aesthetic of the space. As the garage was used for commercial purposes, the client needed a flooring solution that would withstand the rigours of a busy environment, while providing long-lasting protection and ease of maintenance.
The Solution: High Build Epoxy Resin Coating
Our team at IFC recommended the application of a high build epoxy resin coating as the most effective solution for the repair. Epoxy coatings are renowned for their exceptional durability and resilience, making them ideal for demanding environments like commercial garages. The high build version provides an extra-thick layer, which is perfect for filling cracks, smoothing out imperfections, and creating a seamless, protective surface that can withstand heavy-duty conditions.
Step-by-Step Process: How We Applied the Epoxy Resin Coating
- Preparation of the Floor: Proper preparation is the foundation of any successful flooring project. Our team began by thoroughly cleaning the floor and addressing all cracks and imperfections. Using specialised techniques such as shot blasting and diamond grinding, we ensured the surface was smooth and properly prepped for the new coating.
- Priming: To ensure a strong bond between the epoxy resin and the existing floor, we applied a high-quality epoxy primer. This step ensures that the resin adheres securely and provides a solid base for the subsequent layers.
- Application of High Build Epoxy Resin: A thick layer of high build epoxy resin was then applied. This coating not only repaired the cracks but also created a smooth, seamless, and highly durable surface. The epoxy resin is resistant to chemicals, oils, and grease, making it perfect for the demanding conditions of a commercial garage.
- Curing and Final Touches: After the application of the epoxy resin, we allowed it to cure fully to ensure the floor achieved maximum strength. The result was a smooth, durable, and visually appealing garage floor that will provide years of reliable service.
Key Benefits of High Build Epoxy Resin Coatings for Commercial Garage Floors
Opting for a high build epoxy resin coating in a commercial garage offers numerous advantages:
- Unmatched Durability: Epoxy resin forms a tough, long-lasting surface that can withstand the heavy demands of a busy commercial garage.
- Impact Resistance: The coating protects against damage from heavy vehicles, dropped tools, and general wear and tear.
- Easy Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean, making it resistant to stains from oils, grease, and other chemicals commonly found in a commercial garage setting.
- Professional Appearance: The seamless and glossy finish enhances the aesthetic of the garage, giving it a clean, professional look that reflects well on the business.
- Increased Safety: The epoxy surface improves traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls in a high-traffic, industrial setting.
