What Are Self-Levelling Screeds?

Epoxy levelling screeds are resin-based, self-smoothing compounds used to create hard-wearing, seamless floor finishes. Applied in layers, this industrial screed type corrects minor surface irregularities and produces a joint-free finish that helps prevent dirt and bacteria build-up.

With typical screed thicknesses ranging from 3 to 6 mm, depending on the substrate and site conditions, these self-levelling epoxy systems offer a reliable solution for tough, high-traffic environments.

Benefits of Epoxy Levelling Screeds

Icon

Exceptional Durability

Epoxy levelling screeds offer abrasion-resistant flooring that can withstand intense mechanical wear, heavy foot traffic, and vehicular loads without deteriorating over time.

Icon

Chemical & Impact Resistance

These are formulated with chemical-resistant screed technology that protects floors from oils, solvents, and spills commonly encountered in industrial environments.

Icon

Fast-Curing Epoxy

With rapid curing capabilities, epoxy floors significantly reduce installation time, allowing operations to resume quickly with minimal disruption.

Icon

Easy Maintenance Floors

The non-porous, seamless finish is easy to clean and ideal for maintaining strict hygiene standards in pharmaceutical facilities and food production areas.

Icon

Seamless & Attractive Finish

Because the surface has no joints or seams, it presents fewer trip hazards and provides a clean, professional appearance throughout the workspace.

Icon

Supports Safety Systems

Epoxy screeds can be customised with line markings and anti-slip textures to support health and safety compliance in high-risk areas.

Our Process

From Consultation to Installation

Our industrial floor installation process combines technical expertise with on-site insight to deliver a finished floor that performs from day one.

Process Image
01 Free Site Assessment

We’ll visit your site to inspect the substrate condition, moisture content, and operational needs.

02 Substrate Preparation

Our flooring preparation includes cleaning, repairs, and moisture checks, plus primer or bonding bridge applications where needed.

03 Installation Steps

We begin with a primer to seal the base, followed by a bonding bridge if required. Then the self-levelling epoxy screed is poured and spread using a trowel or power float. An optional topcoat can be applied to increase strength or give specific surface properties.

04 Quality Assurance

We’ll carry out checks during and after installation to verify everything meets your project’s specifications.

05 Aftercare Support

Our team provides cleaning recommendations, usage guidance, and warranty documentation for long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lifespan of an epoxy levelling screed floor?

When properly installed and maintained, an epoxy levelling screed floor can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Its longevity is particularly impressive in industrial environments where floors are subjected to continuous heavy use, impact, and chemical exposure. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can help maximise its service life.

How quickly can epoxy screed flooring be installed and used?

Fast-curing epoxy screeds are typically walkable within 24 to 48 hours of application. Depending on the specific formulation and site conditions, the floor can often handle light mechanical traffic or vehicle use within a few days. Full cure times vary, but most projects can resume normal operations shortly after installation, minimising downtime.

Is epoxy screed suitable for high-traffic or chemical environments?

Absolutely. Epoxy levelling screeds are engineered for high-performance use in demanding settings such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, laboratories, and commercial kitchens. Their outstanding abrasion resistance and chemical tolerance make them an ideal solution for areas with constant footfall, heavy equipment, or exposure to oils, acids, and solvents.

Can you apply epoxy screed over existing concrete?

Yes, epoxy screed can be applied over an existing concrete substrate, provided the surface is structurally sound and free from contaminants. During our site evaluation, we assess the concrete for moisture content, cracks, and other issues to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

What maintenance is required for epoxy screed floors?

Epoxy screed floors are low-maintenance by design. Routine cleaning with non-abrasive detergents and a neutral pH floor cleaner is typically sufficient to keep them in top condition. Depending on the environment and level of wear, periodic recoating or surface touch-ups may be recommended to maintain performance and appearance.

How do I choose between epoxy and polyurethane screeds?

The choice depends on your specific site conditions. Epoxy screeds offer superior chemical resistance and compressive strength, making them ideal for industrial applications. Polyurethane screeds, on the other hand, are more flexible and offer better resistance to thermal shock, making them suitable for environments with extreme temperature fluctuations. Our team will assess your needs and guide you to the best option.

Do you offer guarantees on your installation work?

Yes, we stand behind the quality of our workmanship. All epoxy screed installations are backed by a warranty that covers both materials and labour. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support to ensure your floor maintains optimal performance over time.
