Epoxy flooring is a popular choice for food industries, manufacturing sectors and businesses alike, because of its durability, attractive finish, and ease of maintenance. But have you ever wondered why epoxy floors come in different thicknesses? The thickness of your epoxy floor depends on a crucial factors: like traffic movements, floor conditions, type of floors, etc., 

Here’s how weight affects epoxy thickness:

• Light Traffic (1mm): Perfect light commercial spaces. This thickness offers a beautiful and protective finish for areas with minimal weight or impact.
• Medium Traffic (2mm): Ideal for trolley movements, labs, and industrial workspaces, etc., this provides good durability and affordability for moderate foot traffic and equipment use areas.
• Heavy Traffic (3-4mm): Must be use for industrial environments like warehouses, factories, and airplane hangars. This increased thickness offers superior strength and impact resistance to handle heavy machinery and constant wear-and-tear.

Beyond Weight: Additional Thickness Considerations:

While weight is the primary factor, other considerations can influence thickness:

• Substrate Condition: Highly cracked or uneven concrete might require a thicker screed layer for a level surface.
• Desired Finish: A high-gloss, self-leveling epoxy might require a slightly thicker application for a flawless look.

Choosing the Right Thickness:

For commercial or industrial settings, we recommend consulting a professional. To determine the optimal thickness for your project, we can assess your specific needs, such as weight loads, floor condition, and desired finish.
