What is epoxy flooring?

Epoxy resins can form a durable film if they are mixed with a very specific hardener at a certain ratio and applied as a thin film (from 10 microns to 6 mm and more). It goes without saying that both components require chemical modifications and alterations during formulation stage. This enable a us to formulate specific epoxy resins for specific chemical and physical requirements of each individual project.  They usually show an extremely high chemical resistance to many chemical substances. They can be formulated to:

– tolerate alkaline, weak acids and diluted strong acids such as Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) – Alka 113 high chemical resistance / Alka 111 Novolac tank lining epoxy for extreme chemical resistance

– be a Certified Food Grade Flooring Alternative and tolerate organic acids and food industry spills – Alka 112

– Extremely Flexible and therefore tough, with excellent crack bridging properties – Alka 115 waterproofing membrane

After mixing these two components (resin and hardener), a professional applicator can apply them with brush, roll or trowel (as specified in technical datasheets) to create a seamless floor.

Cost of epoxy flooring in Sydney?

The price for epoxy flooring projects can start from as low as A$18 exclusive of GST per square meter. However, one should bear in mind that flooring projects are heavily subjected to various factors.

Normal heavy duty epoxy coatings (350-500 microns) are the most common flooring options for warehouses, carparks and storage areas.

Workshops and heavy built floors require a tough epoxy flooring options. Alka Coatings has the capability of providing flexible and hence tough epoxy flooring systems that can be applied also as a high build coating system. The thickness sits between the range of 1-3 mm and the price can start from A$25 per square meter.

Industrial Food processing areas and commercial kitchens require types of floorings that meets various Australian standards. For many of these applications, the requirements are for a HACCP approved product, non-slip floor (Australian Standard AS 4586-2013) and a wall-to-floor application with allowing for epoxy coves. Sometime, applicators are required to allow for making falls to the drains at a certain slope. The prices for these types of flooring can start from A$60 per square meters.

All other types of applications such as self-levelling floorings, ESD anti-static floors, flexible water-proofing membranes and epoxy floor coatings may be priced individually depending on the size and circumstances of project.

How long does epoxy flooring last?

Epoxy flooring is a resilient and durable flooring solution. Assuming client follows our maintenance manual closely, an epoxy floor can last for two decades or even more. The life span of our products can exceeds many other international competitors.

Our experienced team of professionals applicators have mastered the art of flawless applications in resinous floorings. In addition, they understand the chemical reactions taking place at time of application. These experts will be able to provide the best flooring solutions for your needs. Moreover, they are familiar with the strict Australian standards of epoxy flooring applications.

Another important factor that affects the longevity of epoxy floors is the amount of traffic. Heavy traffic can cause scuff and scratch marks. This can affect the floor’s quality and lustre. Our flexible and tough epoxy flooring solutions can address the issue.

Application methods

In order to achieve the best result with epoxy flooring, it’s essential to prepare the surface. This is the most critical step as improper surface preparation can lead to floor failure and costly repairs. Our usual method of mechanical preparation is diamond grinding with captive vacuuming. We might allow for shot blasting and other harsh methods if the needs arises.

Chemical preparation is the second part. We have various epoxy and polyurethane primers for normal concrete substrates, damp surfaces and even tiles. (epoxy primer Alka 104 | epoxy primer for damp surfaces Alka 105)

Preparation of the surface for epoxy floor coatings requires considerable time and effort. The concrete floor needs to be thoroughly devoid of all grease, oil, solvents, and debris, and cracks should be filled. Low viscose and flexible epoxy binders can be formulated to penetrate deep inside widest cracks and fill them. A professional applicator knows how to do prepare a concrete surface for a long lasting and durable epoxy floors. Alka Epoxy Flooring Sydney Services can help you as a certified applicator for Epoxy floor coatings.

Epoxy flooring systems can be applied by brush, roll or spray machines. Spraying systems can be one, two or three component. They can also be applied cold or hot. Polyurea is a a close chemical family to epoxies and polyurethanes and they usually can applied by hot two-component sprays.
