EPU flooring in Lucknow

Two kinds of floors in Lucknow benefit most from EPU flooring, an epoxy-polyurethane hybrid. The first is distribution warehouses on the city's outskirts that move pharmaceuticals and FMCG stock across the state. The second is hospital service corridors and back-of-house areas that carry heavy trolleys all day, often beside glazed walls that let in plenty of sunlight. Both need a floor tougher than a thin coating and more colour stable than standard epoxy.

Pharma and FMCG distribution warehouses

Distribution centres around Lucknow run long hours with pallet trucks, order pickers and reach trucks. They need floors that:

• stay dust-free, especially for pharma stock
• resist tyre marks and abrasion in busy aisles
• keep markings visible for picking zones and safety routes
• stay consistent in colour near sunny dock doors

EPU combines epoxy's hardness with polyurethane's toughness and colour stability, so it performs well on all four. For pharma warehouses, the jointless, easy-to-clean surface also helps with storage audits.

Hospital service corridors

Hospital back-of-house corridors carry food trolleys, linen carts, waste bins and equipment all day. Standard epoxy chips at corners where carts turn, and yellows where sunlight falls through windows. EPU is:

1. more resistant to chipping from cart impacts
2. more colour stable in sunlit corridors
3. easy to clean with hospital disinfectants
4. available with anti-slip texture for wet cleaning

For clinical rooms such as wards, ICUs and OTs, a smoother PU self levelling floor is usually preferred. EPU suits the service side.

Working in hospitals and live warehouses

Neither can close for long. In hospitals, we work in short sections, often at night, with low-odour materials and clear signage for staff. Where odour must be kept to a minimum near patient areas, the water-based epoxy-PU hybrid WB is an option. In warehouses, we coat zone by zone and move stock as each area is finished.

Monsoon and slab moisture

Lucknow's monsoon can leave ground-floor slabs damp, especially in warehouses without good vapour barriers. Resin floors over damp slabs can blister. We test moisture before starting and use a moisture-tolerant primer or an epoxy cementitious base where needed.

Installation steps

• Survey and moisture testing
• Grinding or shot blasting
• Joint and crack repair
• Primer
• EPU body coat at a thickness suited to traffic
• Topcoat with texture where needed, plus line marking

FAQs

Is EPU suitable for a pharma warehouse audit?

It gives a jointless, dust-free, easily cleaned floor, which supports good storage practice. Specific audit requirements should be confirmed with your QA team.

Can hospital corridors stay open during work?

Usually by working half the corridor width at a time, or at night in short sections.

How soon can trolleys use the floor?

Light traffic after about a day, and heavier trolleys after the cure time we specify.
