How many types of epoxy flooring are there, and how do they differ?

They differ in installation method and coating thickness, which determine durability and price (for the factors that affect price, see Epoxy flooring price per square meter)

Epoxy Coating (roller-applied)

0.1–0.5 mm thick · Budget-friendly

Rolled directly onto the floor at 0.1–0.3 mm per coat, with coats repeated until the required thickness is reached. Suited to warehouses, parking areas, walkways and general factory floors that need a clean, easy-to-clean surface on a controlled budget.

Epoxy Self-Leveling (poured and spread)

1–5 mm thick · Smooth, high-gloss finish

Poured and spread so it flows and levels itself, giving a very smooth, high-gloss and highly durable surface that resists industrial chemicals, acids and alkalis, oil and impact. Suited to areas with high cleanliness and hygiene requirements, such as food and pharmaceutical plants that must meet GMP/HACCP requirements.

Epoxy Anti-Static (ESD)

Dissipates static charge to ground

Anti-static epoxy flooring that carries electrical charge to ground to help protect electronic equipment from damage. Suited to electronics factories, server rooms and production lines that handle static-sensitive components.

Choose by area

Which epoxy system suits which area?

If you are not sure which type your floor falls into, our crew will survey the site free of charge and recommend the system that fits.

Warehouses · Parking areas · Factory walkways

Where the priority is a clean, easy-to-clean surface on a controlled budget, roller-applied Epoxy Coating is enough.

Food factories · Pharmaceutical plants · Cleanrooms

For a seamless, highly hygienic surface suited to GMP/HACCP facilities, use Epoxy Self-Leveling at 1–5 mm.

Electronics factories · Server rooms

Static-sensitive components call for Epoxy Anti-Static (ESD) flooring, which carries charge to ground.

Floors exposed to heat, frequent washing or outdoor conditions

Epoxy is not the answer in every case. Floors like these should use a PU or PU Concrete system instead. For details, see PU flooring services

Our process

How the DMH team installs epoxy flooring

The one step that cannot be skipped is surface preparation, because it decides how many years the floor will last.

1. Site survey and floor inspection

We check moisture, the strength of the existing floor, cracks and how the floor is actually used before proposing a system and thickness.

2. Surface preparation by grinding

The floor is ground to open up the surface so it is clean and porous enough for the coating to bond. Old, peeling paint must be ground off completely.

3. Crack repair and leveling

Cracks and chips are filled and low spots leveled before the actual system goes down.

4. Primer application

The primer is the layer that bonds the epoxy to the concrete. Skipping this step is the main reason floors peel prematurely.

5. Epoxy system application at the agreed thickness

Rolled on in several coats, or poured and spread with the air bubbles rolled out, then left to cure for the specified time before the area goes back into use.

Frequently asked questions

Questions clients often ask before ordering an epoxy floor

If you can't find the answer you need, just message our team.

How thick should an epoxy floor be?
It depends on how the floor is used. Roller-applied Epoxy Coating is 0.1–0.5 mm (0.1–0.3 mm per coat, built up in several coats) and suits general areas. The poured Self-Leveling system is 1–5 mm, giving a smooth, glossy surface that is far more durable, and suits areas with heavy loads or high hygiene requirements.
Which system should a food factory use?
If you need a seamless surface suited to GMP/HACCP facilities, Epoxy Self-Leveling is the system that fits. But if the area is exposed to heat or steam, or is hosed down very often, use PU Concrete instead, because it handles heat and washing better than epoxy.
How chemical resistant is an epoxy floor?
The 1–5 mm Self-Leveling system resists industrial chemicals, acids and alkalis, oil and impact well, while the thinner roller-applied system offers less resistance in line with its thickness. Tell us which chemicals are actually used, and our team will choose a grade to match the site.
There is existing paint or old epoxy on the floor. Can it be coated over?
The surface always has to be ground open first. If the existing coating is still well bonded and is a compatible system, it can be coated over. But if it is peeling, oil-stained or a different system, it must be ground off completely with a floor grinder first; otherwise the floor will peel again even sooner than before.
Can epoxy flooring be used outdoors?
We don't recommend it, because epoxy can yellow with prolonged sun exposure. Outdoor areas should use a PU system, which is more UV resistant, or use epoxy as the base layer finished with a PU Top Coat.
How is the price worked out, and is there a charge for the site survey?
The price depends on the system chosen, the thickness, the floor area and how much preparation the existing floor needs, for example whether old coatings must be ground off or the floor repaired first. DMH Groups offers a free site survey and quotation nationwide, and every system comes with a workmanship warranty, with the warranty period depending on the type of work.

Not sure which epoxy system your factory needs?
