Increased compressive and wear strength

Corrects minor surface irregularities

Built for the toughest industrial environments

Sand epoxy flooring systems incorporate graded silica sand into an epoxy base coat to create a high-build, extremely durable, and slip-resistant surface. Unlike decorative quartz systems that focus on color blends and aesthetics, sand systems are typically designed for performance-driven environments where safety, strength, and longevity are the primary goals. The sand aggregate is broadcast into the wet epoxy and then sealed with additional resin coats, forming a dense, reinforced flooring system capable of handling heavy use.

Sand-filled epoxy systems are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings such as manufacturing plants, loading docks, mechanical rooms, equipment bays, and warehouses. Because the sand creates added thickness and structure within the coating, these systems are ideal for areas exposed to forklift traffic, rolling loads, impact, and abrasion. The textured surface can also be adjusted depending on the grit size and broadcast method to achieve the desired level of slip resistance.

One of the key advantages of sand epoxy systems is their ability to build thickness and correct minor surface irregularities. The added aggregate increases compressive strength and improves wear resistance, making the system more robust than standard neat epoxy applications. In environments where chemical exposure, heavy traffic, or constant moisture are present, sand systems provide enhanced durability and structural reinforcement.

Ultimately, sand epoxy flooring is a high-performance solution engineered for strength and safety. While it may not offer the decorative appeal of metallic or flake systems, it excels in demanding industrial environments where durability and traction are critical. When installed over properly prepared concrete with the appropriate surface profile and moisture mitigation, a sand system delivers a resilient, long-lasting floor designed to withstand the toughest conditions.
