Question 1

How long does epoxy flooring take to cure?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy flooring is typically dry to the touch in 12–24 hours. However, it takes a full 7 days to chemically cure to maximum hardness. We recommend waiting 48 hours for light foot traffic and 72 hours before parking heavy vehicles or dragging heavy machinery on it.

Question 2

What is the difference between screed and self-leveling screed?

Accepted Answer

Traditional screed is a semi-dry sand and cement mixture packed manually to build up slope or general level. Self-leveling screed is a highly fluid, polymer-modified cement compound that flows easily and relies on gravity to flatten itself out, creating a smooth sub-floor prior to laying wood, vinyl, or epoxy.

Question 3

Why is moisture testing important before installing floors?

Accepted Answer

Concrete sub-floors contain residual moisture. If wood, vinyl, or epoxy is installed over wet concrete, moisture vapor gets trapped, building hydrostatic pressure that causes bubbles in epoxy, cupping in wood, and adhesive failures in vinyl. We enforce digital moisture testing on all projects in compliance with SANS 10070.

Question 4

Do you offer dust-reduced diamond grinding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our surface preparation crews utilize industrial diamond grinders linked directly to high-capacity vacuum extractors, capturing and minimizing dust at the source to protect air quality.

Question 5

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

We are Gauteng-based, servicing Johannesburg (Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Rosebank) and Pretoria (East, Centurion) daily. For larger commercial contracts, we deploy crews nationwide across South Africa.
