Epoxy Mortar Flooring Installation for Industrial Facilities
When concrete floors start to crack, pit, or wear down from constant industrial use, an epoxy mortar flooring may be the answer. Epoxy mortar flooring systems give your concrete floors a fresh appearance, long-lasting durability, and a safer surface. Regardless of the size of the repair, Surface Technology Inc. can help. Our epoxy mortar flooring system is affordable and effective, and we have the experience and expertise to get the job done right and on time, every time.
What Is Epoxy Mortar Flooring?
Epoxy mortar is a high-performance, long-lasting flooring material that goes on top of an eroded concrete slab or any other area where the concrete slab has been extensively damaged. Mortar floor systems blend epoxy or urethane with troweling and graded sand for the following industrial purposes:
- Protecting the floor from future damage: Epoxy mortar is strong and durable, ensuring years of safe use.
- Covering existing damage: As concrete erodes, it presents aesthetic and safety concerns.
- Provide a sloping floor: Since it is not as fluid as urethane, specialists can build up epoxy mortar flooring to add a slight slope to an existing slab.
Epoxy Mortar Flooring vs. Urethane Mortar Flooring
Both epoxy and urethane mortar flooring systems offer incredible durability and are ideal for commercial floor resurfacing, but each has distinct advantages suited to different needs.
For instance, epoxy mortar flooring is known for its exceptional resistance to abrasion, impacts, and chemicals. It is suitable for industries where durability and ease of maintenance are the top priorities, such as manufacturing and warehouses. Epoxy mortar provides a seamless, nonporous surface that prevents contaminants from accumulating, providing a hygienic and long-lasting floor.
On the other hand, urethane mortar flooring excels in environments that experience extreme temperatures and moisture exposure. It is ideal for industries like food and beverage processing and pharmaceutical production, where thermal shock and moisture resistance are crucial.

Signs That My Floor Needs Resurfacing
Over time, industrial floors can show signs of wear and damage, making resurfacing necessary to maintain safety and performance. Watch for these indicators to determine if it is time for an upgrade:
- Visible cracks or holes: If your floor has cracks or holes, especially those large enough to cause safety concerns, resurfacing is essential. Left unchecked, these can accelerate slab deterioration or cause accidents.
- Uneven or sunken sections: If certain sections of your floor are becoming uneven, resurfacing may be needed to restore safety. Inconsistent floors can disrupt workflows and increase machinery maintenance costs.
- Signs of chemical damage: Floors exposed to harsh chemicals may show signs of corrosion, discoloration, or wear over time. If your floor is no longer resistant to the chemicals you use in your operations, it is time for resurfacing.
- Difficulties in cleaning: Rough, porous floors trap dirt, bacteria, and grease, hindering sanitation protocols and increasing slip risks. A seamless epoxy mortar flooring resurfacing can restore a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that keeps workers safe.
