Epoxy flooring is the go-to solution for UAE car parks, warehouses, industrial floors, showrooms, and commercial kitchens. Durable, chemical resistant, and easy to clean, it is far superior to bare concrete in the UAE’s demanding environment.
Our Epoxy Flooring Calculator gives you precise quantities for primer, base coat, and top coat based on your floor area and selected epoxy system โ from thin decorative coatings to heavy-duty self-leveling systems.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the total floor area in square metres
- Select the epoxy system type โ thin coat, self-leveling, or heavy duty
- Choose surface condition to adjust for porosity and absorption
- Select number of top coats โ 2 is standard for most UAE applications
- Click Calculate for primer, base coat, and top coat litres, plus approximate cost
๐ฆ๐ช UAE Tip: Apply epoxy only when concrete moisture content is below 5% โ use a moisture meter before starting. Concrete must be minimum 28 days old before epoxy application in UAE. Apply before 10am in UAE summer as surface temperatures above 35ยฐC affect adhesion and pot life.
The Formula Explained
Primer = Area x Primer Rate x Surface Condition Factor. Base Coat = Area x Base Coat Rate x Condition Factor. Top Coat = Area x Top Coat Rate x Number of Coats.
Frequently Asked Questions
What epoxy thickness for a UAE car park?
Minimum 3mm self-leveling epoxy for car parks. For heavy traffic or chemical exposure, 5mm or more. For light-duty offices, 2-3mm decorative coating is sufficient.
How long does epoxy flooring last in UAE?
High-quality epoxy floor systems last 10 to 15 years in UAE conditions with proper maintenance. UV-stable top coats are essential for areas with sunlight exposure to prevent yellowing.
Can epoxy be applied over existing tiles in UAE?
Not recommended. The tile joints create weak points. Always remove tiles, grind the concrete surface to CSP 3-4 profile, and apply a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer for best adhesion.
