FLOORING

Epoxy flooring systems are a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties due to their durability and easy maintenance. Epoxy is a type of polymer that is made up of two components: a resin and a hardener. When mixed together, these two components create a strong and durable material that can withstand heavy foot traffic and heavy equipment. Epoxy flooring systems can be applied in a variety of thicknesses, making them suitable for both high-traffic and low-traffic areas. One of the major benefits of epoxy flooring systems is their durability. These floors can withstand heavy loads, chemical spills, and impact, making them a great choice for garages, warehouses, and industrial facilities.

Another benefit of epoxy flooring systems is their ease of maintenance. These floors can be easily cleaned and are resistant to dirt, dust, and other debris, making them a great choice for homes and businesses. Epoxy floors are also resistant to mould and mildew, making them a great choice for damp or humid environments. In terms of installation, epoxy flooring systems are typically installed by professionals who have the necessary equipment and expertise. The process typically involves cleaning and preparing the surface, mixing the epoxy components, and applying the epoxy in layers to create a smooth and durable finish. The process can take several days to complete, depending on the size of the area and the thickness.

Floor hardener systems are a type of surface treatment that is applied to concrete floors to increase their durability and strength. These systems can be used in a variety of settings, including industrial facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing plants.

1. Floor hardeners by monolithic application (AXEL TOP 207, AXEL TOP 208M) are one of the most popular options for floor hardening. These systems are carried out during the casting and hardening of concrete by applying floor hardening material over the floor, prior to power floating concrete surface.

2. Silicate floor hardener systems (AXEL GRANITE 203) are specially formulated with silicate compounds that react with the calcium hydroxide present in the concrete to produce a hardened surface. These systems are convenient and easy to use, and can be carried out post construction. They can be applied by using a roller, brush or sprayer and typically require only one coat for optimal results.

3. Lithium floor hardener systems (AXEL GRANITE 203Li) are specially formulated lithium compounds that react with the calcium hydroxide present in the concrete to produce a hardened surface. They are similar to silicate floor hardeners in its application, but produces a higher performance in strengthening capabilities and provides an architecturally sound “sheen” like finish over the concrete surface. They also have low VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emissions, making them environmentally friendly.

These floorings consist of a synthetic polymeric coating system formulated with ultra-violet stable resin pigments and selected fillers to provide a tough and durable surfacing system. By applying multiple layers of coating, it provides excellent rebound for the sport as well as flexibility. Besides that, it is important to ensure that the right thickness and mix design of premix is laid prior to the coating system. The base ensures a good cushion for the player followed by the top coat finish for a decorative and yet stable surfacing finish. These coatings can come in various colors depending on the usage of the court.
