Quotes can vary a lot, partly because "epoxy flooring" covers everything from a thin coat of paint-like resin to a thick, trowelled screed. For a machine tool workshop, a sewing machine assembly unit, a wholesale warehouse or a showroom, the right answer is different. This page explains the options.
| Type | Build | Good for | Not good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epoxy coating | A few hundred microns, rolled on | Dust control, stores, offices, light assembly | Forklifts, heavy impact, rough old floors |
| Self levelling epoxy | 2 to 3 mm, poured | Clean assembly, packing, showrooms, a smooth look | Heavy steel wheels and dropped heavy parts |
| Epoxy screed or mortar | 4 to 6 mm, trowelled | Heavy trolleys, forklifts, impact zones | Budget jobs, decorative finishes |
A cheap quote is often a thin coating. It can be the right choice for a store room, but it won't last on a forklift route. When comparing quotes, always ask for the thickness.
Assembly and machining units in Ludhiana typically have:
Self levelling epoxy suits assembly areas, and an epoxy screed or EPU hybrid is better around machines and on trolley routes where impact is common. Oil-soaked concrete near old machines has to be cut out first, because no epoxy bonds to oil.
Ludhiana's wholesale trade moves huge volumes of hosiery, textiles, hardware and parts. For warehouses with pallet trucks, an epoxy coating or self levelling epoxy controls dust and keeps stock clean. Where forklifts run, choose a thicker system on the main routes. For very large dry warehouses, a concrete densifier can be a cheaper alternative.
Bicycle, machinery and garment showrooms use self levelling epoxy for a glossy, seamless look. Near large glass fronts, a UV-stable topcoat stops yellowing.
Epoxy cures slowly when it's cold, and Ludhiana's December and January mornings can bring slab temperatures low enough to cause problems. An under-cured floor stays soft and marks easily. We check slab temperature, warm the area if needed and allow extra curing time.
Clear answers to these tell you more than the price does.
Mostly because of thickness and preparation. A thin coating on a lightly cleaned floor costs far less than a 4 mm screed on a ground, repaired floor.
Usually, after grinding, removing oil-soaked areas and repairing cracks.
Foot traffic usually after about a day. Trolleys and forklifts after a few days, longer in winter.
