Buying-stage answer

Factory epoxy flooring should be selected around production chemicals, cleaning method, thermal exposure, slip rating, and return-to-service timing.
Typical factory coating budgets range from $55 to $140 per sqm, with higher costs for chemical-resistant systems, coving, coating removal, and staged work.
Failures usually come from chemical mismatch, inadequate grinding, moisture pressure, or returning production equipment before full cure.

Service explanation

Surface Master prepares and coats factory slabs for assembly zones, production rooms, maintenance bays, plant rooms, packing areas, and clean workspaces. Specifications can include epoxy primers, chemical-resistant body coats, quartz broadcast texture, coved edges, and polyurethane topcoats.

Pricing factors

Pricing depends on the chemicals used on site, required thickness, slip class, washdown frequency, drainage, coving, joint repairs, existing coatings, live-production staging, and whether accelerated return-to-service materials are required.

Factory preparation requirements

Confirm chemical exposure, cleaning chemicals, thermal shock risk, and washdown process before selecting a system.
Isolate machinery, drains, plinths, and process lines so edges can be ground and sealed correctly.
Diamond grind or remove existing coatings and degrease oil-contaminated areas before priming.
Plan cure windows around production handover, not just coating application time.

Failure prevention for factory floors

Match coating chemistry to actual site chemicals rather than using a generic epoxy system.
Use texture where water, powder, oil, or cleaning residue can create slip risk.
Treat cracks, movement joints, and equipment-impact zones before coating.
Keep washdown and chemical exposure off the floor until the system has reached service cure.

Commercial FAQs

What is the best epoxy for a factory floor?

The best system depends on chemicals, traffic, cleaning, heat, and downtime. Chemical-resistant epoxy, quartz broadcast, or polyurethane systems may be appropriate after site review.

Can factory epoxy be installed after hours?

Yes. Many factory projects are staged after hours or over shutdown windows, with cure timing confirmed before production resumes.

Do factory floors need anti-slip texture?

Wet, oily, dusty, or washdown areas usually need texture. Dry assembly areas can use a smoother system for easier cleaning.
