Epoxy flooring is extremely popular in Dubai for both residential villas and commercial spaces due to its unique advantages:

• Extreme Durability: It creates a hard-wearing surface that can withstand high foot traffic, vehicle traffic (in garages), impacts, and abrasions.

• Heat Resistance: High-quality epoxy systems are well-suited for the UAE climate as they tolerate high temperatures without degrading, making them perfect for garages and indoor areas.

• Stain & Chemical Resistance: The non-porous surface repels oil, car fluids, bleach, and other chemicals, making it ideal for garages, kitchens, and warehouses.

• Easy Maintenance: A seamless “wall-to-wall” surface means no grout lines or joints to trap dirt, dust, or bacteria. Cleaning is as simple as sweeping and occasional mopping.

• Stunning Aesthetics: Epoxy floors offer a premium, high-gloss finish that brightens any space. They are available in a vast range of colours, metallic finishes, and decorative flake designs to match any interior.

• Safety: The floor can be finished with anti-slip additives to improve traction, which is essential for pool surrounds, kitchens, and industrial areas.

The cost of epoxy flooring is not a single price per square metre. The final investment depends on several key factors:

• The total size of the area (in square metres).

• The current condition of your concrete floor (e.g., cracks, holes, or oil stains that require repairs and extensive preparation).

• The type of epoxy system you choose (e.g., solid colour, metallic pigment, or a decorative flake/terrazzo system).

• The number of layers and the thickness required for your specific needs (e.g., a heavy-duty warehouse floor vs. a residential garage).

A professional epoxy floor installation is a multi-step process and cannot be completed in one day. Typically, a standard residential garage or room takes 3 to 5 days.

• Day 1: Concrete preparation. This is the most important step and involves diamond grinding the surface to open the pores of the concrete.

• Day 2: Application of the primer coat and any necessary repairs.

• Day 3: Application of the epoxy base coat and decorative layer (if any).

• Day 4: Application of the final, protective topcoat (often a UV-stable polyurethane).

The floor can usually be walked on after 24-48 hours and is ready for heavy items or vehicles after 5-7 days.

When professionally installed by experts like floorepoxy.ae and properly maintained, an epoxy floor has an exceptionally long lifespan.

• Residential (Villas, Garages): Can easily last 10 to 20+ years.

• Commercial (Warehouses, Showrooms): Can last 7 to 15+ years, even under heavy use.

The key is professional preparation. Without proper concrete grinding, the epoxy will peel or fail. We guarantee our preparation process ensures a permanent bond for maximum longevity.

Epoxy is incredibly versatile and is an ideal solution for almost any concrete surface, including:

• Residential: Garages, villas, kitchens, basements, living areas, and patios.

• Commercial: Retail showrooms, restaurants, office buildings, and hotel lobbies.

• Industrial: Warehouses, factories, food processing plants, and commercial kitchens.

• Institutional: Hospitals, clinics, schools, and laboratories (due to its hygienic, seamless properties).

Maintenance is one of the best features of epoxy flooring.

• Regular Cleaning: Simply use a dust mop or soft-bristle broom to remove grit and dust.

• Mopping: For a deeper clean, mop the floor using a simple solution of water and a pH-neutral cleaner. You can also use diluted ammonia (follow product guidelines).

• What to Avoid: Do not use soap-based cleaners (as they can leave a hazy film) or acidic cleaners (like vinegar) which can dull the gloss finish over time.

• Spills: Spills like oil or chemicals will not stain the floor and can be wiped up easily with a paper towel or cloth.
