Characteristics of epoxy screeds
The materials we use are made in the Czech Republic and are subject to the strictest requirements for quality and safety. Because they do not contain solvents, they do not release after curing no chemicals, unlike PVC and other materials used as floor coverings. There are no epoxy spatulas freely available in Hoby markets and can only be worked with by trained staff.
It is a two-component trowel / casting mass on epoxy base resins containing fillers and pigments about density approx. 1.3 kg / dm3. Produces se in shades of the RAL scale and v non-standard color shades by agreement.

Epoxy floors have excellent properties:
easy maintenance and cleaning
smooth or non-slip surface
long service life of floor surfaces (50-60 years) = great investment
high resistance to chemical pollution
high resistance to mechanical damage
walkability in 24 hours, mechanical load is possible after 3, chemical resistance after 7 days
selection of colors from the RAL swatch + metallic shades
possibility to choose matt and semi-matt
sprinkling of chips (flocks), silica sand, etc.
application of clear transparent resin
installation of 3D wall mural
Substrates suitable for cast epoxy floor:
concrete
anhydrite
leveling trowel
pavement
OSB boards
Technical parameters of epoxy floors
Anti-slip:
Decree of the Ministry of Local Development No. 268/2009 Coll. on technical requirements for construction of 12 August 2009 in § 21 states that the floors of all living and living rooms must have a non-slip surface finish corresponding standard values. The value of the coefficient of shear friction must be the least μ = 0.5. Our epoxy floors according to tests, they meet the conditions of anti-slip in both dry and wet conditions.
Influence of water on the applied mass:
At own laying in progress reaction of the epoxy binder with the hardener. This reaction continues at a time when it is coating applied. When normal room temperature Yippee second day floor walkable and full mechanical parameters
reaches after seven days.
If insufficient hardened the composition penetrates water,
occurs to emulsification and floor mostly unevenly white. This color change leads to visual impairment coating layers.
OF for this reason, we recommend chemically (water, detergents, disinfectants, etc.) to strain the surfaces up to after 7 days.
Scratchability:
At ten points graduated hardness, the epoxy has the same hardness as
marble - but quartz, the most common mineral in nature has a higher hardness. Therefore, there is a surface scratch, which, however, has no other qualitative effect on the floor. As a result, the floor gradually loses its luster and acquires a typical patina over time. A clear shine can then be achieved by mechanical polishing and application of waxes.
Maintenance:
In the entrances to the buildings install appropriate and effective cleaning zones.
This measure prevents bringing in large part of the dirt into the object and will reduce
danger mechanical damage to floors.
Regular cleaning perform vacuuming and wiping with a damp mop.
Durable stains and rubber grooves from heels that cannot be cleaned by conventional methods is possible remove with a suitable cleaner in connection with microfiber cloth or soft pad.
When intense cleanse use neutral or alkaline cleaning resources.
Polishing pastes and waxes use as needed.
