Why Surface Preparation Is Crucial for Long-Lasting Resin Floors
- 1 ✅ IntroductionWhen it comes to resin flooring — whether it’s epoxy or MMA — the quality of the surface preparation is just as important as the resin system itself. At JustFlooring.ie, we understand that a floor is only as strong as the surface it’s bonded to. That’s why professional preparation is the first and most crucial step in every flooring project we undertake.
- 2 🛠️ What Is Surface Preparation?Surface preparation involves cleaning, repairing, and profiling the existing concrete slab to ensure that the resin floor bonds properly. This process removes contaminants like oil, dust, and old coatings, and creates the right surface profile for adhesion.
- 3 🔍 Why Is It So Important?A poor or incomplete preparation can lead to:Peeling or delaminationCracks and surface failureReduced chemical and abrasion resistanceShortened floor lifespanIn contrast, a well-prepared surface ensures:Strong mechanical bond between the resin and substrateLong-term durability and performanceSmooth, seamless finish
- 4 🔧 Our Preparation TechniquesAt JustFlooring.ie, we use advanced tools and techniques tailored to each project, including:Diamond Grinding – For smoothing and profiling concrete surfacesShot Blasting – For aggressive surface cleaningCrack Repair & Joint Filling – To fix structural flaws before coatingMoisture Testing – To avoid future bubbling or lifting
- 5 🏭 Ideal for Industrial & Commercial EnvironmentsSurface preparation is especially critical for:Factories & WarehousesCommercial Kitchens (HACCP compliance)Garages & WorkshopsShowrooms & Retail UnitsThese environments require flooring that can handle heavy traffic, chemical spills, and temperature changes — and proper preparation is the foundation for that resilience.
