Epoxy Flooring prices per square meter in South Africa - Kandua

What initial material is required?

Epoxy flooring can be customized and therefore are a number of considerations to take into account when estimating the initial material and labor requirements. These considerations affect the cost per square meter. The following factors are very important to consider when estimating the cost of epoxy flooring materials and installation:

• The size of the floor
• Current condition of the existing or new slab
• Whether or not a waterproofing underlayment or concrete resurfacer is needed
• Whether or not a moisture vapour-mitigating or moisture-tolerant primer is called for

What is the cost per square meter of epoxy flooring In South Africa?

Of course, the project's overall cost will depend on both the area to be covered and the floor system's thickness. Economies of scale gradually come into play as the project size increases when it comes to calculating the cost per square meter of epoxy flooring components and labor. In other words, a project's overall cost will increase with floor area while its cost per square meter will decrease.

Additional costs - repairing existing concrete

Epoxy flooring can be applied over a prepared concrete surface. If the existing concrete has deteriorated or is damaged then the slab would first need to be refurbed and repaired before the epoxy coat can be applied. This, of course, adds to the cost of the flooring project. The condition of the underlying concrete, whether a new or existing slab, must be carefully evaluated.

Depending on the products you select, epoxy flooring can be a bit more expensive to install than ordinary residential flooring options. However, when homeowners consider the resistance to cracking, staining, fading and abrasion, the cost savings become obvious. By selecting an epoxy floor coating, you won’t bear the cost of replacing things like carpets, tiles or linoleum, and you’ll eliminate the need for restoration chores like waxing and steam cleaning.  Epoxy flooring will last for years and give you one of the best returns on your investment.
