Epoxy Flooring



Epoxy flooring is a thermosetting resin applied as a protective and decorative coating to a concrete substrate. Epoxy has many benefits to match a number of unique characteristics.

·         Aesthetics – Epoxy flooring can be applied in a range of stains and customizable color options in addition to a variety of gloss levels. Further design options include the addition of colored microchips and metallic finishes.

·         Maintenance – Since epoxy is a seamless flooring option, the substrate is protected from chemicals, dirt, liquids and other contaminates. This makes the floors easy to clean, requiring only a walk behind scrubber or standard mopping with a general-purpose cleaner – no waxing or buffing is necessary. Epoxy floors do not require much maintenance other than standard cleaning, making them a great long-term value option.

·         Durability – Workloads on epoxy floors can vary from foot traffic to truck and forklift traffic. This industrial flooring option can withstand daily abuse from a wide variety of equipment and manufacturing processes. As an abrasion and chemical-resistant material, epoxy flooring meets the durability needs of most industrial manufacturers.

·         Installation – Having a professional flooring contractor oversee the installation is critical. Improper installation will cause the coating to prematurely chip and peel. Additionally, the substrate must be properly prepped before any coating can be applied. Installation time varies dependent on thickness and size of the project. A 10k square-foot installation can most often be completed in about one week.

·         Costs – Cost considerations will vary depending on size, design and layout, but on average, prices per square-foot. Lifecycle costs are usually advantageous for epoxy floors as their low maintenance combined with longevity and durability lead to low costs post installation.

·         Applications – As one of the most versatile flooring options, epoxy flooring is great for industrial, commercial, correctional, medical, food manufacturing, aviation, recreational, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, veterinary, educational, grocery and retail markets.

MARKET FORMS OF STEEL

Following are the standard shapes in which the rolled steel sections are available in the market- 1. Angle sections- The Angle section may be equal legs or unequal legs. The equal angle sections are available in sizes varying from 20 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to 200 mm x 200 mm x 25 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length are respectively 9 N and 736 N. The unequal angle sections are available in sizes varying from 30 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to 200 mm x 150 mm x 18 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length are respectively 11 N and 469 N. The angle section extensively used in the structural steel work especially in the construction of steel roof trusses and filler joist floors. 2. Channel Section- The channel section consist of a web with two equal flanges. A channel section is designated by the height of web and width of flange. These sections are available in sizes varying from 100 mm x 45 mm to 400 mm x 100 mm. The corresponding weights per metre length are respectively 5
