In South Africa, many industrial flooring options may be available to you. These might include things like polished concrete flooring, tiled flooring, or vinyl flooring, to name a few.
However, none of these options is as safe, hygienic, or durable as our range of epoxy and polyurethane flooring solutions. What’s more, no other flooring option is as easy to maintain. As one of the premier epoxy floor suppliers in South Africa, we offer a world-class range of coatings, primers, and screeds that will beat out any alternatives.
When it comes to industrial flooring, your business needs something that is tough enough to withstand a harsh working environment. High foot traffic and heavy equipment, as well as abrasive material and corrosive chemical spills, are commonplace in the industrial sector.
Therefore, you need a flooring solution that can maintain its structural integrity no matter what you throw at it. This is because safety in the workplace starts from the ground up. An unstable and compromised floor can lead to slippages and other accidents, which can cost you dearly. What’s more, you don’t want to have to spend a small fortune to have good quality floors.
Here are some of the best-value industrial flooring options that we recommend from our extensive range. You can trust us at Technical Finishes to ensure that your floors are of the highest quality and designed to suit your specific needs.
Coatings
Applying one of our epoxy or polyurethane coatings is the quickest and most inexpensive way to refurbish and enhance your industrial floors. Our coatings can be rolled or sprayed onto a variety of surfaces, making them instantly more attractive and easier to clean. These coatings can be used to either spruce up existing polyurethane or epoxy floors or totally transform plain concrete floors.
If you’re looking for a good all-rounder, the Solidkote WB is a great option. This cost-effective, water-based epoxy coating is quick and easy to use and can be applied to a variety of surfaces. It can even be used on damp surfaces, such as recently poured green concrete. The low volatile organic compound (VOC) content makes it environmentally friendly and safe to use just about anywhere. This coating can quickly and easily be applied to both floors and walls, providing a clear, smooth, and semi-glossy finish.
If you need something that provides stronger resistance against chemicals and moisture, the Solidkote 305 Enamel is a good choice. This solvent-based epoxy enamel coating can be applied to various surfaces, such as concrete, steel, or even wood. It comes in a series of standard colours so that it can match your facility’s aesthetics.
For something tougher all-around, the Solidkote Robust can provide superior abrasion resistance in addition to good chemical resistance. This high-build epoxy flooring topcoat acts as a wear surface for indoor floors. This VOC-compliant coating is a two-component, solvent-free solution that provides excellent protection in just a single application.
Self-Levelling Screeds
Self-levelling screeds are a marvel of modern flooring. Not only are they incredibly easy to apply, but they also provide excellent protection, superior traction, and a beautiful finish. This type of flowable screed is poured onto the surface of the existing floor, where it is then spread out evenly. Thanks to its low viscosity, it flows easily to fill in uneven areas, creating a smooth and level surface.
Our Solidflow Quartz, Solidflow SL 1000 and Solidflow SL 2000 self-levelling screeds are great choices for refurbishing floors in light industrial flooring applications. These affordable options are applied at 1 mm and 2 mm respectively, providing a hygienic and smooth finish that is perfect for the food and pharmaceutical industries. All three of these solvent-free screeds offer excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.
Our Polyscreed Earthflow has a decorative aspect to it but is perfect for more heavy-duty traffic areas. This self-levelling screed has a thickness of 4 mm and works well in various industrial applications. It is highly resistant to chemical spills, abrasive materials, and hard impacts. Moreover, this tough product’s HACCP-compliant formula and low VOC content mean it is safe, hygienic, and easy to keep clean.
Screeds
Our range of high-performance polyurethane and hard-wearing epoxy screeds are also fantastic options for just about any industrial application. These tougher screeds are applied using a trowel and can reach thicknesses of as much as 25 mm.
Our flagship Polyscreed® Range of polyurethane floors is HACCP-compliant across the board, featuring anti-microbial silver ion technology. This means that all of the products in this range are good options for industries where hygienic floors are important.
Our Epoxy hard-wearing floors are great for heavy-duty industrial applications where high-traffic volumes and heavy impacts are to be expected.
The Solidscreed HT is a cost-effective option that offers good stain and chemical resistance. This 10 mm thick hand-troweled material has great thermal shock properties as well. It boasts excellent resistance to hard impacts and scratching, making it great for areas with heavy equipment.
The Polyscreed EPT is also a hardwearing screed with pigmentation. It is ideal for areas where chemical spills are expected owing to its excellent stain resistance and high chemical resistance.
