High-build epoxy flooring delivering long-term reliability in a demanding industrial environment.
Industrial Flooring That Stands the Test of Time
At a busy facility operated by Severn Machines in Worcestershire, our high-build, solvent-free epoxy floor coating has now been in service for over 20 years—without failure.
In an environment where heavy machinery is regularly dismantled, moved, and reassembled, this level of performance is exceptional. It demonstrates what can be achieved when an industrial epoxy flooring system is specified and installed correctly.
The Key to Long-Lasting Industrial Flooring
The success of this floor is built on three essential elements:
- Correct product selection
- Meticulous surface preparation
- Expert installation methodology
Remove any one of these, and long-term performance is compromised.
High-Build Epoxy Flooring System
Not all industrial floor coatings are the same.
For this project, a high-build, solvent-free epoxy flooring system was selected to match the operational demands of the facility and applied to the correct specification from the outset.
Choosing the right product is critical—but it is only one part of the equation.
Surface Preparation: The Foundation of Epoxy Flooring
Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure adhesion and long-term durability.
This project included:
- Mechanical preparation to achieve the correct surface profile
- Removal of contaminants and weak surface layers
- Detailed assessment of the concrete substrate
- Careful treatment of edges and joints
This process ensures a strong bond between the epoxy coating and the substrate—one of the most important factors in industrial flooring longevity.
Professional Installation: Precision Matters
Even the best epoxy system will fail if installed incorrectly.
Our experienced resin flooring specialists ensured:
- Application at the correct high-build thickness
- Controlled mixing ratios and curing conditions
- Consistent, high-quality workmanship
This level of precision transforms a coating into a long-term industrial flooring solution.
Zero Repairs. Maximum Reliability.
Since installation, the coating has required no repairs whatsoever.
Despite continuous industrial use, the floor has maintained its integrity and appearance—even with regular dismantling and movement of heavy machinery.
This long-term success reflects:
- The robustness of the epoxy flooring system
- The quality of preparation and installation
- The care taken by the Severn Machines team
Smart Maintenance, Long-Term Results
Ongoing maintenance has also played an important role.
Severn Machines have helped preserve the floor by:
- Implementing regular cleaning routines
- Taking precautions during plant dismantling and movement
- Following best practices in day-to-day operations
This partnership between quality installation and responsible use has delivered outstanding longevity.
A Vote of Confidence
The performance of the original floor has been so impressive that Severn Machines returned to have a second, smaller unit coated using the same system.
There’s no stronger endorsement than repeat business—especially after 20 years of proven results.
Why Industrial Epoxy Flooring Works
This project highlights a key principle:
Long-term industrial flooring performance depends on getting every stage right.
- The right product ensures suitability
- Proper preparation ensures adhesion
- Expert installation ensures performance
When combined, these elements deliver a floor that performs reliably for decades.
