In Dehradun, we often get calls about floors that have already failed once. A hotel kitchen coating has peeled, a school laundry floor has bubbled, or a basement store has patches lifting off. In most cases the cause is the same: moisture coming up through the slab in a city with a very long rainy season. Epoxy cementitious flooring is what we usually lay to fix these floors properly.

Why it works on Dehradun's damp slabs

Epoxy cementitious is a three-part system of epoxy resin, hardener and a cement-based powder. The cement content lets it tolerate much more moisture in the concrete than pure epoxy or PU coatings. It bonds to the damp slab and doesn't trap moisture in the same way, so it doesn't blister like a film coating.

It can be used as:

  • a finished floor, grey and matt, in laundries, stores, basements and plant rooms
  • a base layer under a coloured epoxy or PU topcoat where appearance matters

Hotel and school kitchens

Dehradun's hotels and boarding schools run large kitchens with washing, hot water and heavy use. Old tiles crack and lose grout, and coatings over damp slabs peel. Epoxy cementitious gives a washable floor that tolerates the damp. For the busiest cooking lines with steam and boiling water, PU concrete remains the better option. Epoxy cementitious works well in prep areas, stores and wash-up areas.

Laundries

School and hotel laundries are warm, wet and busy. Water from washing machines and floor cleaning keeps the surface wet, and slabs underneath are often damp too. A sloped epoxy cementitious floor, draining towards floor drains, handles these conditions.

Basements and ground-floor stores

Basements in Dehradun, especially in buildings cut into slopes, are often damp. After any seepage through walls and slab joints has been treated, epoxy cementitious flooring gives a sound, cleanable floor that won't lift.

Fixing a failed coating

When an old coating has blistered:

  1. The failed coating is ground off completely.
  2. The slab is tested for moisture and strength.
  3. Cracks and hollows are repaired.
  4. Epoxy cementitious is applied as the floor or base.
  5. A topcoat is added if required, after curing.

FAQs

Our kitchen floor coating keeps peeling. Can this fix it?

In most cases, yes. The failed coating is removed, and epoxy cementitious is laid on the prepared slab.

Is it slippery when wet?

Its matt surface gives reasonable grip. For very wet or greasy areas, extra texture can be added.

Can the work be done during school holidays?

Yes. School and hostel kitchens and laundries are best done during breaks.
