Epoxy Flooring
Floor Hardener Services for Long-Lasting Concrete Floors
Improves concrete floor resistance to abrasion, heavy loads, and vehicle traffic using standard Sika dry-shake systems.
What Is Floor Hardener?
Floor hardener is a dry-shake material applied to a concrete surface while it's still wet, then trowelled until it bonds with the concrete structure. The result is a surface layer far harder and more wear-resistant than plain concrete, without needing a separate coating layer.
This system is widely used for floors that take heavy loads and high vehicle traffic, since its strength comes directly from within the concrete structure, not just a layer on top of it.
When Do You Need Floor Hardener?
- Warehouse floors with daily forklift and heavy vehicle traffic
- Factory production areas taking machine and heavy material loads
- Parking areas and loading docks with frequent vehicle traffic
- Workshops and garages with heavy work activity
- New floors you want built more durable from the start of the pour
Application Areas
Work Process
Because floor hardener is applied together with the concrete pour, our team coordinates with the pour schedule: survey & needs consultation → quote & floor hardener type recommendation → material shake-on while the concrete is still wet at the right timing → trowel finishing until the surface is flat and dense → curing → final quality control.
FAQ
Floor Hardener FAQ
Floor hardener is dry-shaken onto still-wet concrete and bonds directly with the concrete structure, producing a surface highly resistant to abrasion and heavy loads. Epoxy flooring is a coating applied over already-cured concrete, emphasizing a clean, hygienic finish. Floor hardener is generally more economical for heavy-load areas like warehouses and parking lots.
The floor needs to go through a concrete curing period before it can take full load. The exact duration depends on site conditions and will be communicated by our team during the work.
Floor hardener is ideally applied together with a new concrete pour since the system is shaken on while the concrete is still wet. For existing floors, we can recommend an alternative system such as epoxy or Ucrete based on site conditions.
Floor hardener is generally available in natural gray, with other color options depending on product availability. Our team can explain the available options during consultation.
