We were called by the management of Silver Oaks after inspecting the project of Epoxy Flooring already done under my supervision. We were told to apply 500 microns coating on the floor of pumps room.
The substrate conditions were not good enough for 500 mircons but they insist us for 500 microns only.
Grinding of Substrate
As a first step of surface preparation we started with the grinding of the substrate.
Epoxy Primer
After cleaning we applied epoxy primer
1st Scratch Coat
To cover undulations and pit holes in the floor we applied the scratch coat in colored epoxy.
Finishing of 1st Scratch Coat
We applied sand paper on the 1st scratch coat.
Skirting
A thin coat is applied on skirting.
2nd Scratch Coat
After inspection we decided to apply a second layer of scratch coat.
Final Layer
After applying 2 scratch coats we applied the final coat of 500 microns in demanded colors. Yellow lines were also applied.
As per the substrate conditions we believe that a 2mm or 3mm would be the much better solutions for this area.
