Industrial Flooring

Seamless Sikafloor® epoxy and PU systems for factories, warehouses, hospitals, food plants and car parks.

Overview

How we approach it

Industrial flooring is a seamless resin surface — epoxy or polyurethane — engineered for the traffic, chemicals and hygiene demands of a specific facility. Warehouses, factories, hospitals, food plants and car parks each need a different system; specification is everything.

An industrial floor is a working surface, not a finish. Forklift traffic, chemical spills, thermal shock from hot-water washdowns, hygiene regulations — each drives a different specification, and the most common flooring failure we see is a general-purpose epoxy installed where a heavy-duty or PU system was needed.

We install the full Sikafloor® range: self-smoothing epoxy systems for warehouses and workshops (our IKEA and Okaz Printing Press floors are this family), polyurethane screeds such as Sikafloor® PurCem® for food and beverage areas that see heat and aggressive cleaning, and decking systems for car parks with crack-bridging and waterproofing built in. Surface preparation is by captive-blast or diamond grinding — never acid etching — because adhesion is decided before the first coat goes down.

We work in phases around live operations where production can't stop, with fast-cure options where turnaround time is critical.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Which epoxy flooring is best for a warehouse in Saudi Arabia?

For forklift traffic and racking loads, a self-smoothing heavy-duty Sikafloor epoxy system at appropriate thickness — the same family we installed for IKEA. Choice of thickness and topcoat depends on traffic intensity, chemical exposure and required slip resistance, which is why we survey the actual operation before specifying.

How long before a new epoxy floor can be used?

Foot traffic typically within 24 hours, light traffic in 2–3 days, and full mechanical and chemical loading after about 7 days' cure at normal temperatures. Fast-cure systems can compress this when downtime is critical. We phase installations area-by-area so operations continue around the work.

Why is my existing epoxy floor peeling?

Nine times out of ten: surface preparation. Epoxy bonded to laitance, dust, moisture or an acid-etched-only surface lets go under traffic. Rising moisture through the slab is the other classic cause. We prepare mechanically — diamond grinding or shot-blasting — and moisture-test slabs before installation, which is why our floors stay down.
