Commercial epoxy flooring can provide a hard-wearing, slip-resistant finish for suitable car park environments, but the system still needs to match the existing deck, exposure and required finish. Damaged sections, preparation, layout, colour choices and line marking can all affect the quotation and installation programme. We offer site visits and tailored quotations so these requirements can be reviewed before work begins.
What condition is the existing car park floor in?
The condition of the existing floor determines the repairs and preparation required before installation. Damaged sections and previous coatings may need attention before a new car park flooring system can be applied.
Preparation can include:
- cutting out damaged sections
- completing minor repairs
- repairing damaged kerbs where required
- grinding the surface
- thoroughly vacuuming the prepared deck
- applying the specified primer or damp-proof layer
Surface preparation forms part of the flooring specification rather than a separate cosmetic stage. Reviewing the existing floor allows us to include the required repairs and preparation in the quotation before work begins, giving you a clearer scope from the outset.
“The preparation of the surface is absolutely key to the overall success of our car parking surface system. You cannot shortcut this element if you want a finished surface that is built to last.” Matt Tring, Managing Director.
Which commercial epoxy flooring system suits the car park?
Different commercial epoxy flooring systems suit different car park conditions.
We have previously installed a moisture-tolerant, self-smoothing epoxy system in a basement car park. For suitable exposed roof decks, access ramps and high-traffic vehicle areas, we recommend Deckmaster System R.
Deckmaster System R is an epoxy coating system designed for demanding car park and deck environments. Depending on the specification, it can provide:
- waterproofing
- crack-bridging properties
- abrasion resistance
- slip-resistant finishes
- resistance to UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles
- a choice of colours
An enclosed basement and an exposed roof deck may require different preparation, finishes and coating build-ups. We review the layout, existing surface, location, required finish and preparation before confirming the appropriate system.
What affects the cost of car park floor refurbishment?
Existing condition and preparation: Damaged areas, old coatings and minor repairs may need attention before installation begins. Our documented Deckmaster project included cutting out damaged sections, completing minor kerb repairs, grinding the deck and vacuuming the surface before the coating system was applied. The quotation therefore needs to reflect the preparation required by the existing floor rather than the visible area alone.
Size, layout and location: The floor area, layout and complexity of the installation all form part of the quotation. Ramps, kerbs, edges and separate parking zones may also need to be accounted for. The site location forms part of the quotation as well.
Flooring system and finish: The selected commercial epoxy flooring system affects the proposed specification. We also include multiple colours, colour bands and additional non-slip coatings among the finish requirements that can affect the quotation.
We base the quotation on the area, layout, location, preparation and required finish rather than applying one general rate to every car park.
What affects how long car park floor refurbishment takes?
The duration depends on the size of the car park, the repairs required, surface preparation, coating stages and final line markings.
Multiple colours can add masking and separate application stages. Line markings and bay numbers are completed after the flooring system has been installed, so the required layout needs to be agreed before work begins.
Exposed-deck projects also depend on suitable application conditions. On our documented 852 m² car park project, completed during November, we monitored:
- the weather
- air temperature
- dew point
The project included repairs, surface preparation, a damp-proof layer, aggregate broadcast, light grey, mid grey and white topcoats, followed by line marking and bay numbering. It took three working weeks to complete.
That was the programme for one specific project, not a standard duration for every car park. We confirm each programme against the repairs, preparation, finishes and application conditions required for the site.
What information should you provide when requesting a quotation?
You do not need to choose the commercial epoxy flooring product before contacting us.
Our quote form asks for information including:
- your project postcode
- whether the project is commercial
- the type of area
- the approximate floor size
- any products you are considering
- further information about the project
For a car park refurbishment, you can use the additional information field to describe the existing surface and the work being considered.
A site visit may still be required before we confirm the preparation, flooring system and installation programme. This allows us to review the actual car park rather than basing the quotation on floor area alone.
Arrange a commercial car park flooring assessment
Car park refurbishment needs to account for the existing deck, repairs, preparation, flooring system and final markings. We can review these requirements and provide a tailored quotation for the proposed work.
Frequently asked questions
Is Deckmaster System R a commercial epoxy flooring system?
Yes. We describe Deckmaster System R as an epoxy coating system for suitable car parks, exposed roof decks, access ramps and other high-traffic vehicle areas.
How long does car park floor refurbishment take?
The duration depends on the repairs, preparation, flooring system, colours and line markings. Our 852 m² project took three working weeks, but we confirm a separate programme for each site.
Can different colours and line markings be included?
Yes. We offer a choice of colours, and car park projects can include separate colour bands and line markings. Multiple colours and detailed markings can add further stages to the installation.
What affects the quotation for commercial epoxy flooring?
The main factors are the project area, layout, UK location, required finish and preparation work. Multiple colours, colour bands, slip-resistant finishes and surface repairs can also affect the price.
