Epoxy resin high build coating, Industrial unit in Kettering – 200㎡

Liberty Floor Solutions installed a 200㎡ light grey epoxy resin high build coating at an industrial unit in Kettering, Northamptonshire. The existing floor was highly contaminated with oil, requiring extensive preparation and repairs before the new coating system could be applied.

As an experienced resin flooring contractor, we understand that the preparation stage is just as important as the coating itself. For this project, the floor was thoroughly ground to remove contamination and provide a suitable surface, with extensive repairs carried out before the two coats of light grey high build epoxy were installed.

Professional preparation – the foundation of every installation

Effective and thorough floor preparation is a key part of what we do and provides the foundation for every successful installation. Concrete floors are rarely ready to coat. Most require mechanical preparation to remove laitance, contaminants, previous coatings and weak surface material. Without this, no coating system will bond correctly.

Oil contamination can be particularly challenging, which is why careful mechanical preparation and repairs are essential before applying a new coating. We have invested heavily in specialist flooring machinery and equipment to ensure installations meet commercial standards, including 3-phase industrial diamond grinders, heavy-duty generators, professional sanding equipment, specialist diamond attachments, industrial dust extraction systems and full PPE.

High build epoxy coating installation

Once the substrate has been mechanically prepared and the necessary repairs completed, the epoxy coating system can be applied. For this Kettering project, two coats of light grey high build epoxy were installed to provide a hard-wearing and practical finish for the industrial unit.

High build epoxy systems can be used across a wide range of demanding environments, including factories, warehouses, workshops and other industrial premises. Our industrial flooring solutions can be specified to suit the intended use of the area, while our warehouse flooring services provide durable surfaces for busy commercial and storage environments.

We also provide workshop flooring and other commercial flooring options where a robust, easy-to-maintain surface is required. The installation process is carried out in planned stages, allowing sufficient time for preparation, application and curing between coats. The exact timescale depends on the condition of the existing substrate and the specification required.
