Industrial Epoxy Flooring Lahore — Built for Factories & Warehouses

Two reasons: hygiene and strength. Epoxy is seamless — no joints where dirt and bacteria collect, which is why pharmaceutical and food production halls require it. And it's built for load: forklifts and heavy machinery run on it without the cracking, wearing, and slipperiness that concrete, chips, and tile floors develop under industrial use.

It depends on the traffic. Walkways, corridors and homes: around 2mm. Driveways and warehouses with rack systems: 3mm. High-traffic production halls with hundreds of workers: 4–6mm to resist constant friction. Forklift zones, loading areas and pharma/food production halls: 6mm — which is also the practical maximum, since going thicker adds cost and crack risk without benefit. The right system is confirmed at your site assessment.

Yes — concrete is the ideal base, but epoxy can be applied over chips/terrazzo (after treating the joints), tiles (after grinding off the glaze and filling the joints so they don't show through), and marble or granite (after grinding and primer). Uneven floors are ground level first — epoxy pools in dips, which later causes cracks.

Almost always: moisture. Before any work, we test the floor with moisture meters. If your facility is near a canal, drain or water source, moisture and salt (kallar) rise from beneath the slab — and epoxy applied over moisture bubbles and peels. Where moisture exists, we first extract the salt with a specialized chemical treatment, a process that takes 20–48 hours. This preparation is the difference between epoxy that lasts and epoxy that fails.

Floor inspection with moisture testing; moisture and salt extraction where needed (20–48 hours); grinding to level the surface; a hardener primer or scratch coat that seals the concrete's pores; then the epoxy poured as a single calculated application to your required thickness — self-leveling, worked with rollers to remove air bubbles, our team in spiked boots working systematically from one end to the exit.

The surface begins hardening within 30–45 minutes, but that's only the top layer. Allow 24 hours before foot traffic, and 48–72 hours before forklifts, vehicles or heavy loading — 72 hours is the safest. Loading the floor early breaks the chemical bonding between epoxy and concrete, which is exactly what causes premature cracking.

Daily cleaning with any normal detergent or liquid cleaner is fine; for stubborn dirt, a pressure washer with detergent restores the original shine. Two things to avoid: acidic cleaners (they burn the glossy layer and discolor the floor) and dragging sharp or pointed metal-legged items (deep scratches). Smooth-wheeled forklifts, carts and trolleys cause no damage. Drying the floor after washing prevents water spots.

It scales with the system: a heavier build such as a 6mm heavy-industrial floor is designed for longer service life than a standard 2–3mm floor, provided the surface is prepared properly and the floor is maintained. We inspect the floor first, prepare the surface thoroughly and apply every coat to specification, and the system is documented in your written quotation.
