Epoxy floor paint is one of the most durable floor coatings available. When applied correctly on a well-prepared surface, epoxy flooring can last:
5–10 years in residential areas
7–15 years in commercial or industrial spaces with proper maintenance
Its lifespan depends on:
Surface preparation quality
Number of coats applied
Traffic level (foot traffic, vehicles, machinery)
Maintenance practices
High-quality epoxy floor paint, like the types supplied by Rangi Paint Store, resists abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and stains, making it a long-term flooring solution.
Yes — epoxy floor paint is safe and increasingly popular in homes.
Common residential applications include:
Living room floors
Kitchens
Garages
Balconies and verandas
Stores and utility rooms
Modern epoxy finishes are available in decorative colors, satin, gloss, and anti-slip textures, giving homes a clean, modern, and easy-to-maintain look. Once fully cured, epoxy is non-toxic and safe for everyday living.
For best performance, 2–3 coats of epoxy floor paint are recommended:
1st coat (Primer/Base coat): Ensures strong adhesion to the concrete
2nd coat: Provides color depth, strength, and coverage
3rd coat (Optional): Added for heavy-traffic areas or enhanced durability
Industrial floors, garages, and commercial spaces benefit most from 3 coats, while standard residential floors usually perform well with 2 coats.
Epoxy floor paint can be slippery only when applied without additives, especially in wet conditions. However, this is easily solved.
To improve safety:
Add anti-slip aggregates (fine sand or special grit)
Use textured or matte finishes
Apply anti-slip topcoats in wet areas
This makes epoxy flooring suitable for homes, factories, ramps, staircases, hospitals, and showrooms.
Epoxy floor paint is a two-pack system consisting of resin and hardener.
A common and correct mixing ratio is:
3 parts resin : 1 part hardener (3:1)
Important mixing tips:
Mix thoroughly for uniform curing
Only mix quantities you can apply within the working time
After mixing, thin lightly (typically 5–10% epoxy thinner, depending on application method)
Incorrect mixing ratios can cause poor curing, soft floors, or peeling — which is why using quality products and proper guidance matters.
Epoxy drying happens in stages:
Touch dry: 6–12 hours
Light foot traffic: 24–48 hours
Full cure: 5–7 days
Drying time depends on temperature, ventilation, and humidity. Full curing is essential before heavy use.
Absolutely. Epoxy is designed for high-traffic and heavy-duty use.
It performs exceptionally well in:
Warehouses
Garages
Workshops
Supermarkets
Factories
Its resistance to impact, chemicals, oil, and abrasion makes it superior to ordinary floor paints.
Epoxy floor paint works best on:
Concrete floors
Cement screed
Industrial slabs
The surface must be:
Clean and dry
Free from oil and dust
Properly prepared (etching or grinding recommended)
Yes. Once cured, epoxy forms a seamless, waterproof barrier that prevents moisture penetration. This makes it ideal for:
Garages
Basements
Store rooms
Balconies and wet area
