“Power-floated float not enough meh ? Why do we need to add additional layer on it ? “
Concrete flooring is not elastic in nature, power-floated finishes will give a layer of smooth finishes based on the existing layer. However, such layer of smooth finish is not elastic in nature, being exposed to traffic and tires carrying chipped stone will cause damage to the surface. A layer of coating will provide good protection for the floor. The following are the advantages of epoxy-based flooring.
Our epoxy flooring colour is customizable, providing dull carpark certain level of ‘design’ sense
Customized colour can add accent to the existing carpark design. By adding additional graphics and colour to the design, carpark facilities can be rejuvenated with minimal wetwork interventions.
“What is that orange texture epoxy coating that i saw in Mid-Valley carpark? ”
To improve safety, additional texture is added to our epoxy flooring to provide anti-slip protection. In a carpark facility that is exposed to both rainwater and oil stain from moving traffic, we recommend this texture to prevent potential slip that might occur to anyone who is walking on the surface. Material used is 1mm epoxy coating system with orange peel finish .
Besides the colour and thickness of the finishes, please take note of the thickness of the epoxy as well.
The thickness of the epoxy layer varies based on type of traffic, traffic load and level of the floor. Based on the usage, Polymer-International sales and specification manager will provide you with their advice based on 30 years of experience in this application.
Following items are the specific items that we are looking for when providing epoxy specification services to our Architects and Contractors.
