Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right flooring for your home or business is an important decision, especially in a climate like Marbella where durability, style, and easy maintenance all matter. Epoxy flooring has become an increasingly popular choice thanks to its modern finish, long lifespan, and resistance to heat, moisture, and heavy use.
We understand you may have questions about the process, benefits, and suitability of epoxy flooring for your space. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our clients ask to help you make an informed decision with confidence.
What is epoxy flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a durable, seamless surface created by applying a resin and hardener to concrete. Once cured, it forms a strong, glossy finish that is resistant to wear, chemicals, and moisture—perfect for both residential and commercial spaces.
Where can epoxy flooring be installed?
Epoxy flooring is extremely versatile and can be installed in:
- Garages
- Kitchens
- Living areas
- Commercial units
- Warehouses
- Outdoor terraces (with UV-stable coatings)
Is epoxy flooring suitable for homes?
Yes, it’s ideal for Marbella properties. Epoxy floors are:
- Heat-resistant
- Easy to clean (great for sandy or dusty environments)
- Stylish and modern
- Resistant to humidity and salt air
How long does epoxy flooring last?
With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy flooring can last 10–20 years or more, depending on usage and traffic levels.
How long does installation take?
Most residential projects take 1–3 days, depending on the size of the area and condition of the existing surface. Larger commercial projects may take longer.
Can epoxy flooring be applied over existing tiles or concrete?
Yes. Epoxy can be applied over properly prepared surfaces, including:
- Concrete
- Tiles (with preparation)
Surface preparation is key to ensure a long-lasting finish.
Is epoxy flooring slippery?
Epoxy flooring can be customised with anti-slip additives, making it safe for both indoor and outdoor use—even in wet areas.
How do you clean and maintain epoxy floors?
Epoxy floors are very low maintenance:
- Sweep or vacuum regularly
- Mop with mild detergent
- Avoid harsh chemicals (unless industrial-grade epoxy is installed)
Does epoxy flooring yellow in the sun?
Standard epoxy can yellow under UV exposure, but we use UV-resistant topcoats or polyaspartic finishes for outdoor or sun-exposed areas to prevent this.
What design options are available?
We offer a wide range of finishes, including:
- Solid colours
- Metallic epoxy (marble-effect finishes)
- Flake systems (great for garages)
- High-gloss or matte finishes
Is epoxy flooring expensive?
Epoxy flooring is a cost-effective solution compared to tiles or stone when you consider its durability and low maintenance. Prices vary depending on:
- Area size
- Design complexity
- Surface preparation required
Is it suitable for commercial and industrial use?
Absolutely. Epoxy flooring is widely used in:
- Warehouses
- Showrooms
- Restaurants
- Workshops
It can withstand heavy traffic, machinery, and chemical exposure.
Will my floor need repairs before installation?
If your existing floor has cracks or damage, we will repair and prepare it properly before applying epoxy to ensure a flawless finish.
Can epoxy flooring be customised to match my property style?
Yes, epoxy is highly customisable. We can match colours, create unique patterns, or design finishes that complement your interior or branding.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, we provide free site visits and no-obligation quotes across Marbella and surrounding areas.
