If you have ever had a floor coating bubble and peel on a ground floor in Bareilly, the cause was almost certainly moisture. Low-lying plots, heavy monsoon rains and slabs laid without a proper damp barrier all mean water keeps working up through the concrete. Epoxy cementitious flooring is designed to cope with exactly that. It bonds to damp concrete, gives a tough washable surface and can carry a coloured topcoat if you want one.

Why ordinary coatings fail on damp slabs

Pure epoxy and PU coatings form a sealed film. When moisture rises through the slab and can't escape, pressure builds under the film until it lifts in blisters. On a very dry slab that doesn't happen. On many Bareilly ground floors, it does.

Epoxy cementitious systems contain cement as well as epoxy. That makes them more tolerant of moisture in the base, and they can act as a barrier between the damp slab and a resin topcoat. So there are two options:

  • Epoxy cementitious on its own: a grey, matt, hard-wearing floor for stores, service areas and wash areas
  • Epoxy cementitious plus topcoat: a moisture-tolerant base with a coloured epoxy or PU finish

Agro processing and food units

Rice, flour, spice and pulse units have wash areas, soaking areas and processing rooms with damp, worn floors. Epoxy cementitious flooring gives these areas a sealed surface that handles washing, and costs less than PU concrete. Areas with boiling water or steam still need PU concrete.

Hospital service areas

Hospitals in Bareilly often have basements and ground-floor service areas such as laundries, stores, plant rooms and kitchens with damp floors. Epoxy cementitious is a reliable base in these spaces, with a hygienic topcoat where needed.

Levelling old slabs

Older buildings often have uneven, patched floors. Epoxy cementitious mortar can fill hollows and level the surface before a finish floor, which avoids breaking out the old concrete.

First, check the water source

Epoxy cementitious tolerates damp concrete, but it can't hold back flowing water. Before laying, we check for:

  1. standing water or puddles coming up through cracks
  2. leaking pipes or tanks under or near the floor
  3. poor drainage around the building
  4. blocked or broken floor drains

These problems must be fixed first.

FAQs

Can it be laid during the monsoon?

Inside covered buildings, often yes, because it tolerates damp slabs. Areas with standing water or active leaks must be sorted out first.

Will it stop damp patches on walls too?

No. It treats the floor. Damp walls need separate waterproofing treatment.

How thick is it laid?

Usually 2 to 4 mm as a moisture barrier or light-duty floor, and thicker where levelling is needed.
