Floors for Car Park Areas

🅿️ In parking areas, the floor coatings must serve a dual purpose: not only should they protect the underlying concrete, but they must also act as a waterproofing layer between levels to prevent moisture infiltration and structural wear.
🛠️ The epoxy coatings specified for use in these spaces should be highly resistant to the effects of vehicle tires, pollutants emitted by cars, and potential oil spills that might occur on the surface. These coatings play a key role in maintaining both the durability and cleanliness of the facility.
🚶 Additionally, certain zones—such as ramps and pedestrian walkways—require special treatment. These should be constructed with anti-slip specifications to enhance safety for individuals moving through the area, particularly during wet or high-traffic conditions.
🔧 In cases where floor flexibility is essential—such as in areas subject to expansion or vibration—a polyurethane coating of the Ktisopur type is recommended. This type of finish offers greater elasticity while maintaining strong protective qualities suited to demanding environments.
