Epoxy Flooring in Lagos

Planning an epoxy flooring project in Lagos

The concrete surface comes first

Before epoxy is applied, the installer should check the concrete for cracks, weak screed, oil contamination, previous coatings and moisture. Grinding or other mechanical preparation may be required to create a sound surface for bonding. Applying epoxy over a dusty, damp or poorly prepared floor can lead to peeling or bubbles later.

Choose the finish for the way the space is used

A garage, warehouse or workshop may need a practical heavy-duty or anti-slip finish, while a showroom or interior space may prioritise colour and appearance. Decorative flakes, metallic effects, clear topcoats and different build thicknesses can change both the look and the scope of work. Ask the installer to explain the proposed system rather than quoting only “epoxy per square metre”.

Plan access and curing time

The area normally has to remain free from traffic while preparation, coating and curing take place. For occupied homes, shops or commercial properties in Lagos, it may be easier to divide the work into sections. Humidity and the condition of the concrete can also affect when a floor is ready for coating, so a final site inspection is preferable before fixing the programme.
