What is Epoxy?
Epoxy flooring is a strong, seamless surface created by mixing a resin and a hardener, which chemically bonds to form a durable plastic-like layer over concrete. It’s commonly used in factories, warehouses, commercial kitchens, and even modern homes in Singapore that want a minimalist or industrial look. Epoxy offers a sleek, professional finish while standing up to heavy traffic and wear.
Why Choose Epoxy Flooring?
Extremely durable and impact-resistant
Seamless surface – no grout lines
Chemical- and stain-resistant
Dust-proof and easy to clean
Customisable colours, finishes, and textures (e.g., matte, gloss, flakes)
Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
How is Epoxy Flooring Installed?
The process begins with surface preparation — the existing concrete is cleaned, repaired, and ground to ensure strong bonding. Next, a primer coat is applied, followed by several layers of epoxy resin. The final coat is cured for 1–2 days to harden completely. Epoxy installation is highly technical, and at GEBR, we work only with trained applicators to ensure a smooth, durable finish that lasts.
Where is Epoxy Flooring Best Used?
Epoxy is ideal for industrial and commercial properties in Singapore like car workshops, kitchens, warehouses, and showrooms. Increasingly, it’s also being used in HDBs and condos for modern-style living rooms, kitchens, or workspaces due to its clean, polished look.
Maintenance & Care
Epoxy flooring is easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and mopping with non-abrasive cleaners is enough to keep it looking new. It’s resistant to oil, grease, and most chemicals, making it ideal for high-use areas. For commercial settings, we recommend periodic topcoats to extend lifespan.
FAQs About Epoxy Flooring
Q1: Is epoxy flooring safe for residential homes in Singapore?
Yes. Epoxy is non-toxic once cured and is safe for both residential and commercial spaces. Many minimalist or industrial-style homes in Singapore now use epoxy flooring for its modern aesthetic.
Q2: Can epoxy flooring be slippery?
Epoxy can be made slip-resistant by adding anti-slip aggregates or textures. We always recommend this for kitchens, car porches, or areas prone to water exposure.
Q3: How long does epoxy flooring last in Singapore?
With proper care, epoxy floors can last 5–10 years or more, depending on usage and environment. In commercial areas with high traffic, periodic recoating can extend its durability.
