The Importance of Surface Preparation in Industrial Resin Flooring
When it comes to industrial resin flooring systems like epoxy or MMA, the success and durability of the installation depend heavily on one key factor: proper surface preparation. Whether it’s a factory, warehouse, or commercial garage, neglecting this critical first step can lead to premature floor failure and costly repairs.
Surface preparation ensures that the resin coating adheres strongly to the substrate. Without it, the floor may develop issues like:
A smooth, clean, and mechanically prepared surface is essential for long-lasting performance.
Perfect for smoothing concrete surfaces and removing old coatings or contaminants. It creates a profile that allows resin to bond effectively.
Used in larger industrial spaces. It blasts small steel beads at high velocity to clean and texture the floor, ideal for epoxy applications.
Best for very rough or uneven surfaces. Scarifiers remove thick layers of concrete or old resin and prepare heavily damaged floors for a new system.
✅ Maximum bond between substrate and resin
✅ Increased durability and slip resistance
✅ Better aesthetic finish
✅ Reduced risk of future maintenance costs
At JustFlooring, we start every resin flooring project with a detailed surface assessment. Depending on the environment and existing floor condition, we use high-performance equipment for:
We follow strict health & safety protocols and ensure every floor is ready for MMA or epoxy application with HACCP compliance where required.
No matter how high-quality your resin flooring materials are, they’re only as good as the surface they’re applied to. Don’t overlook the foundation—invest in proper surface preparation for a floor that lasts.
