Epoxy Coating
Epoxy success is 70% surface preparation: grind and prime correctly and the coating stays down for years.
The most common epoxy failure is application straight onto concrete: coating over the surface laitance leaves voids underneath, and the epoxy peels in flakes. EMC Decor's standard process: open the surface by diamond grinding or shot blasting, measure moisture (concrete relative humidity must be under 4%), saturate with epoxy primer, then apply the chosen system with coat thickness measured.
Systems are matched to use: anti-slip quartz-filled builds for car parks and garages, chemical-resistant self-levelling for production areas, hygienic seamless surfaces for food facilities, decorative metallic epoxy for stores and showrooms. Each system's layer plan and consumption rates (kg/m²) are put in writing in the quote.

View PricingFrequently Asked Questions
Is epoxy flooring suitable for homes?
Yes — it's a seamless, easy-clean choice for kitchens, balconies and garages, and decorative metallic epoxy is increasingly popular in living areas.
Can a new coat go over existing epoxy?
If adhesion is sound, yes: the surface is abraded and recoated over a tie coat. Where it's peeling or hollow, the old coating is fully ground off — we run a pull-off test at the survey.
Epoxy or polyurethane?
Epoxy is harder and more chemical-resistant; polyurethane is flexible and UV-stable. We recommend a PU topcoat for sun-exposed areas and epoxy for interiors and industry — most projects use a hybrid of both.
How soon can the floor be used?
Foot traffic in 24 hours, furniture in 3 days, vehicle and forklift traffic in 5–7 days; times vary with temperature and are stated in the handover report.
