Epoxy flooring holds a special position in the industrial flooring market. Its popularity is driven by the unique performance characteristics this flooring system offers. What makes epoxy floors so exceptional, and where are they commonly used? Let's take a closer look.
What is epoxy flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a seamless flooring system that stands out from other polymer floors thanks to its outstanding technical performance and attractive appearance. It is widely used in both industrial facilities and commercial buildings.
Epoxy floors are based on epoxy resin, offering excellent mechanical strength together with superior resistance to moisture and aggressive chemicals. They are an ideal solution for manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics centres, laboratories, and other environments with high humidity or demanding operating conditions.
Advantages of epoxy flooring
The main benefits of epoxy flooring include:
- Outstanding chemical resistance – epoxy flooring offers exceptional protection against aggressive chemicals, acids, alkalis, and industrial liquids.
- Long service life – when professionally installed using high-quality materials, epoxy floors can provide reliable performance for more than 20 years.
- Seamless, monolithic surface – the absence of joints ensures excellent hygiene, easy cleaning, and low maintenance.
- High mechanical strength – resistant to heavy wear, mechanical impact, and abrasive loads, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Types of Epoxy Flooring
Our construction company offers the following types of epoxy flooring: quartz-filled epoxy flooring, self-levelling epoxy flooring, and antistatic (ESD) epoxy flooring.
Quartz-Filled Epoxy Flooring
Quartz-filled epoxy flooring is one of the most durable polymer flooring systems. Its key feature is the use of high-quality quartz sand as a filler, while epoxy resin serves as the binding agent.
Quartz filler can be incorporated into the system in two ways:
- Mixed directly into the flooring compound, creating a textured, slip-resistant surface.
- Broadcast onto the fresh epoxy layer and sealed with a final epoxy topcoat after curing, resulting in a smooth, highly durable finish.
For quartz-filled epoxy flooring, we recommend Peran STB and Flowcoat SF41. These systems are specifically designed for environments exposed to heavy mechanical loads and aggressive chemical substances.
Applications of Peran STB and Flowcoat SF41
The application of Peran STB and Flowcoat SF41 epoxy flooring systems is determined by their outstanding performance characteristics. Quartz-filled epoxy flooring is commonly used in:
- industrial production facilities,
- technical and utility rooms,
- automotive service centres and workshops,
- retail and commercial premises.
- Self-Levelling Epoxy Flooring
Self-levelling epoxy flooring is designed for commercial environments with medium-duty traffic. We recommend the Peran SL system, which offers excellent chemical resistance, high wear resistance, and easy maintenance.
Antistatic (ESD) Flooring
Antistatic (ESD) flooring systems are designed for environments where static electricity must be safely dissipated. Typical applications include:
- electronics and electrical component manufacturing,
- warehouses storing flammable or explosive materials,
- laboratories,
- power generation and electrical facilities.
We offer Peran ESD SL and Peran ESD STB systems. By combining conductive graphite fillers with copper grounding tape, these floors safely dissipate static electricity, protecting sensitive equipment and ensuring a safe working environment.
