What is commercial epoxy flooring?

Commercial epoxy flooring is a resin coating bonded directly into your concrete slab. It is built up in layers, a primer that fuses into the concrete, a pigmented base coat, then the finish you choose, and sealed under a clear polyaspartic topcoat that takes the traffic. The result is one seamless floor with no grout lines, no joints and nothing to peel.

We install it for the businesses in Warrenville that need a floor to work hard and still look presentable: offices and reception areas, retail units, showrooms, workshops, service bays, stores and light warehousing. It suits a customer-facing space and a working space equally well, because the finish changes while the system underneath stays the same.

The finished floor is hard, smooth or lightly textured depending on the finish, and sealed against oil, chemicals, water and salt. Commercial floors we have installed, front of house and back, are on our gallery.

Why Warrenville businesses choose a coated floor

Carpet tiles stain, vinyl needs stripping and re-polishing, ceramic cracks and the grout darkens, and bare concrete dusts and soaks up every spill. An epoxy floor replaces all of that with one sealed surface that is swept and mopped in minutes and looks the same at the end of the year as it did on day one.

It is also a floor you do not have to take up. The coating goes onto the slab you already have once it is ground and repaired, so there is no demolition, no disposal and no new subfloor. For most units it is the least disruptive way to get a new floor.

And it is a floor chosen for the business, not just the building. A light solid color to brighten a bay with no windows, a flake blend for grip and a forgiving look in a busy shop, a metallic finish for the reception, or the concrete itself ground and sealed for an industrial look. All four come from the same crew on the same slab.

The benefits of an epoxy floor in a commercial space

Durable and chemical resistant. Our coatings are industrial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic. They resist oils, coolant, cleaning chemicals, road salt tracked in through the door, hot tire pick-up in a service bay, and the abrasion of carts, castors and pallet trucks. Impact and dropped tools mark bare concrete; a coated floor shrugs most of it off.

Easy to clean and hygienic. The floor is seamless and non-porous, so there is nowhere for dirt, water, oil, mold or bacteria to get trapped. Routine cleaning is a sweep and a mop. There is no stripping, no waxing and no grout to scrub. The finish is low odor, low VOC and hypoallergenic, which matters in an office or a clinic as much as in a shop.

Safe underfoot and good to look at. Flake finishes have a natural orange-peel texture that gives grip, and an anti-slip additive can be broadcast into the topcoat of any finish where a bay runs wet. The topcoat is UV stable, so the color does not yellow or fade under shopfront glass. A light floor reflects the lighting and makes a deep unit feel bigger and brighter than it is.

Four floors for Warrenville commercial units

Epoxy flake. Colored flakes are broadcast into the pigmented base coat and sealed under the clear topcoat. It is the most durable and forgiving of the four: the texture gives grip, the blend hides the marks of a working day, and it comes in a wide range of color blends, so it can be matched to a brand or kept neutral. It is the usual choice for shops, service bays, stores and customer areas that see wheels and weather.

Solid color epoxy. One uniform color across the floor under a clear topcoat. It is the plain, clean workshop and assembly-bay floor: it shows what has been dropped on it, it wipes clean, and in a light tone it lifts a bay with limited daylight more than any lighting scheme can. It is also the simplest finish to specify.

Metallic epoxy. A self-leveling resin mixed with metallic mica pigments and worked by hand, so the color moves in depth across the floor with the look of marble, liquid metal or stone. It has a high-gloss reflective finish that suits spaces lit artificially, which makes it the floor for a reception, a showroom, a restaurant or an office where the floor is part of how the business presents itself.

Grind and seal. The one option that is not a coating. The slab is ground back to expose clean concrete and sealed with a clear sealer, so the floor is your building's own concrete, dust-free, non-porous and cleanable, with the look of polished concrete at a lower price. It suits an office or retail unit that wants the industrial character kept, and it adds no height at a threshold.

How we prepare the concrete

Every floor starts with mechanical grinding. Diamond grinders take off old paint, carpet adhesive, vinyl residue, tile bedding, sealers, oil and laitance and open the pores of the concrete so the primer can bond into it. This is the step that decides whether a floor lasts, and we do it on every job regardless of size.

Cracks, holes, spalls and the holes left by racking feet, partition tracks or machine bolts are opened out, cleaned and filled flush before any coat goes on, so they do not track through the finished floor. Control joints are treated so the floor runs clean across them.

Where an office floor was built up under its old covering and the workshop slab was not, the two are ground and filled to one plane so the new floor runs through the doorway without a step. Edges are terminated cleanly at shopfronts, counters and roller doors, and a cove at the wall is an option we talk through for wash-down areas.

How the floor is installed

We roll a primer that fuses directly into the ground concrete and forms the bond that stops a coating from peeling. Once it has cured, the pigmented base coat goes on. For a flake floor the flakes are broadcast into the wet base coat until the floor is fully covered; for a metallic floor the tinted resin is poured and worked by hand for the pattern; for solid color a second coat of color follows.

For flake, the excess is scraped back once the base coat has cured, which gives the finished floor its even texture. For grind and seal there is no coating stage: the ground concrete is cleaned and the clear sealer applied in place of the base coat.

Every coated floor is sealed with the clear polyaspartic topcoat. It is the layer that takes the traffic, the chemicals and the cleaning, and it is what keeps the finish glossy and the color true for the life of the floor.

Commercial floors around Warrenville

Much of the commercial building in Warrenville is the business-park unit along the tollway: offices at the front, a workshop or a warehouse behind, one slab under all of it.

We also coat retail units, showrooms, clinics, restaurants and service bays across Warrenville and the neighboring DuPage suburbs.
