EPOXY RESIN FLOOR

Concrete surfaces must be carefully prepared prior to application of epoxy resin.  This can be done using by polishing the concrete using a concrete floor grinder, or in this case pressure washing was appropriate.

Cracks are filled using an epoxy grade mortar to provide a seamless high quality finish when complete.

Floor is sealed using a epoxy grade primer.  This not only stabilises the concrete, but provides a substrate which the final floor coat can adhere to.
