WINTOP SL
Epoxy Self Leveling Floor Topping
WINTOP SL - Wintop ESL is a type of epoxy based resin rich flooring that is specially designed to level itself out once it has been applied to a surface. It is a popular choice for flooring applications where a smooth, level surface is required. It is also commonly used in industrial settings where durability and chemical resistance are important factors.
Problems we solve
- 1.
High Installation Costs:
Tile installation often requires skilled labor and specialized tools, leading to higher upfront costs compared to other flooring options. - 2.
Uneven Surface:
If not properly installed, tiles may not lie evenly, leading to an uneven surface that affects both aesthetics and functionality. - 3.
High Maintenance in High:
Traffic Areas: In areas with heavy foot traffic, tiles may require frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent wear and tear. - 4.
Cold and Hard Surface:
Tiles can feel cold underfoot, especially in colder climates, and their hardness can cause discomfort for prolonged standing or walking. - 5.
Slippery Surfaces:
Some tile materials, particularly when wet, can become slippery, posing a safety hazard in areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens.
Features
- 1.
Anti-Slip Properties:
Epoxy can be customized with anti-slip additives, enhancing safety in areas prone to moisture, which can be a concern with slippery tiles. - 2.
Comfort and Warmth:
Epoxy offers a more comfortable walking surface as it doesn't feel as cold or hard underfoot compared to tiles, enhancing comfort. - 3.
Uniform Level:
Epoxy offers a consistent appearance across the entire surface, avoiding issues of color variation and uneven leveling that tiles may exhibit. - 4.
Seamless Surface:
Epoxy provides a seamless and continuous surface, eliminating grout lines that can accumulate dirt and require frequent cleaning in tiles. - 5.
Durability and Resistance:
Epoxy is highly resistant to impact, chemicals, and abrasion, addressing issues of cracking and chipping that tiles may face. - 6.
Prevents wear and tear on existing concrete floors:
How to Apply
- 1.
Surface Preparation:
Prepare the substrate by removing dirt, debris, and contaminants. Repair any cracks or imperfections, ensuring a smooth and level base - 2.
Primer Application:
Apply a suitable epoxy primer to enhance adhesion and prevent air bubbles. Allow it to cure as per instructions. - 3.
Epoxy Pouring:
Mix the self-leveling epoxy resin according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Pour and spread the mixture evenly across the surface. Use a spiked roller to remove trapped air and ensure even coverage - 4.
Finishing:
After the epoxy has self-leveled, allow it to cure as directed. Apply a topcoat for added durability and chemical resistance if desired. Ensure proper ventilation during curing.
Case Studies
Bosch Chasis
One of the leading automotive Chassis manufacturers aimed to upgrade their 2,00,000 sq. ft. production facility with deteriorating concrete floors. The project involved applying epoxy coatings for improved durability, safety, and aesthetics. Key challenges faced were surface preparation and minimizing production downtime.Winone undertook a Comprehensive surface preparation, including shot blasting and crack repairs, and a phased application of a three-coat epoxy syste The project met our client’s objectives, providing a safer, more efficient, and visually appealing floor surface, completed on time and within budget, with minimal disruption to product schedule.
