Self-smoothing epoxy flooring for commercial and industrial interiors
Ecoflor installs flow-applied, self-smoothing epoxy resin floors for commercial and industrial premises. This type of finish can suit projects where a smooth, coloured surface is required, subject to the condition of the substrate and the demands of the working area.

What is a self-smoothing epoxy floor?
A flow-applied epoxy system is spread over a prepared substrate to form a smooth resin finish. It differs from a thin roller-applied epoxy coating. The selected product and build-up determine the finished appearance and performance.
Self-smoothing describes how the material forms its surface; it does not mean that it will correct every uneven floor. Where levels need adjustment, floor levelling or resurfacing may be needed before the resin finish is installed.
Choosing the finish for your premises
Discuss the intended colour, appearance and cleaning requirements alongside pedestrian traffic, equipment and any vehicle use. Smooth finishes should be assessed carefully where water, oils or other contamination may be present. A different texture or system may be more suitable for those conditions.
Tell us about chemical exposure, temperature changes or specialist electrical-resistance requirements. These need to be checked against a specific system. Our industrial flooring range provides other options where the operating conditions call for a different specification.
Preparing the existing floor
Suitable surface preparation is essential before application. We assess existing coatings, contamination, moisture, cracks and repairs to determine the work required. Preparation may involve mechanical grinding or another method suited to the substrate.
Joints, transitions and underlying movement must be considered as part of the installation plan. A smooth resin finish does not remove the need to address defects in the floor below.
Installation and return to use
The programme includes preparation, repairs where needed, application and curing. Share access restrictions and the date by which the area needs to be operational. Any work alongside occupied areas should be planned around the chosen materials and site conditions.
Self-smoothing epoxy questions
How much does installation cost?
Floor area, substrate condition, preparation, required build-up, finish and access affect the price. Photographs and plans help us discuss the project; a site assessment may be needed before a final quotation.
Is it the same as a concrete levelling screed?
No. A self-smoothing epoxy system provides a resin finish. A levelling screed may be used separately to prepare levels or provide a suitable base, depending on the project.
What thickness and warranty apply?
The thickness and any warranty terms should be confirmed for the specified system and installation. They depend on the selected product and project scope.
How should the floor be maintained?
Use a cleaning routine compatible with the installed finish and the way the area is used. Remove contamination promptly and inspect for damage so repairs can be discussed before deterioration spreads.
