Epoxy & Specialty Floor Coatings
Epoxy floor coatings in Accra, Ghana — self-levelling, broadcast-quartz, anti-slip, chemical-resistant, metallic, and 3D resin floors for warehouses, garages, food, pharma, and showrooms across Accra, Tema, and Spintex, with slab moisture tested first and UV-stable topcoats specified. Coralex Painters, since 1984.
An epoxy floor coating is a seamless resin system — self-levelling, broadcast, anti-slip, chemical-resistant, metallic, or 3D — bonded to a prepared concrete slab to carry traffic, chemicals, and wash-down. Coralex Painters has installed specification-grade resin floors across Accra, Tema, and Spintex since 1984, treating the slab beneath the resin as the system rather than an afterthought.
Why Epoxy Floors Matter in Ghana’s Conditions
A resin floor is the working surface of the facility — it carries the loads, the chemicals, the wash-down cycles, and the hygiene burden of everything that operates above it. In a warehouse, a food plant, or a pharmacy, the floor is the single most punished horizontal surface in the building, and when it fails the disruption is operational, not cosmetic: a delaminated bay closes a line; a porous joint in a clean area becomes a contamination route.
Ghana’s climate sets two non-negotiable conditions. First, high slab humidity drives blistering — trapped or migrating moisture forces resin off the surface regardless of how good the product is, so the slab is moisture-tested before any coat is laid. Second, epoxy is not UV-stable and ambers under sunlight, so wherever daylight reaches the floor it is overcoated with a UV-stable PU or polyaspartic topcoat. We test before we trust a floor, and we specify the topcoat to the light it will face.
Epoxy & Specialty Floor Systems We Offer in Accra
Self-Levelling (1–3 mm)
A smooth, seamless, easily cleaned surface poured to 1–3 mm — the default for hygiene-critical and presentation floors where flatness and cleanability govern. Specified for showrooms, clean areas, and high-traffic commercial floors.
Broadcast-Quartz & Anti-Slip
Aggregate or coloured quartz is broadcast into the wet resin and sealed, building mechanical durability and slip resistance for industrial and wet-process floors. Anti-slip grades are specified to the wash-down regime and traffic so the floor stays safe under oil, water, or food residue.
Chemical-Resistant
Formulations selected to the specific reagents, solvents, or process fluids the floor will face, for laboratories, pharmaceutical areas, plant rooms, and battery or process bays where chemical attack would destroy a standard floor.
Metallic & 3D
Metallic pigment floors and 3D image floors are installed as presentation surfaces for showrooms, retail, and hospitality, where the floor itself is part of the design — sealed under a UV-stable topcoat so the effect holds.
Applications Across Ghana & Togo
- Warehouse and logistics floors under heavy forklift and palletised traffic across Tema and Spintex
- Garages, workshops, and vehicle bays needing oil- and abrasion-resistant anti-slip floors
- Food-processing, agro, and commercial kitchens requiring hygienic, anti-slip, wash-down floors
- Pharmaceutical, laboratory, and clean areas with chemical-resistance and contamination-control demands
- Showroom, retail, and hospitality floors in Airport City and East Legon needing a seamless presentation surface
- Industrial and showroom floors for new-builds in Lomé (Adidogomé, Baguida) served via our Togo line
How We Install an Epoxy Floor
- Survey & moisture test — slab graded and moisture-tested; coating proceeds only when the reading supports it.
- Mechanical preparation — diamond grinding or shot-blasting to ISO 8501, removing laitance and weak surface skin.
- Priming & detailing — primer applied; joints, coves, and movement details engineered into the build.
- Resin build & DFT check — specified system built to thickness, verified to ISO 2808, abrasion to ASTM D4060, adhesion to ASTM D3359.
- UV-stable topcoat & cure — PU or polyaspartic topcoat where daylight reaches the floor; cured on a planned schedule before return to service.

What Affects the Cost in Accra
- The system specified (self-levelling, broadcast-quartz, anti-slip, chemical-resistant, metallic, or 3D)
- Slab condition and moisture, and the preparation — grinding, shot-blasting, crack repair — required
- Area (m²), bay sequencing, and facility downtime
- Whether a UV-stable PU or polyaspartic topcoat is needed for daylit areas
- Access, coving, and joint detailing

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an epoxy floor turn yellow in the sun? Pure epoxy is not UV-stable and ambers under sunlight, so it is not specified bare where daylight reaches the floor. We overcoat it with a UV-stable PU or polyaspartic topcoat, which keeps the colour and gloss while the epoxy body carries the mechanical and chemical duty underneath.
Why did my last epoxy floor bubble or peel? Blistering and delamination almost always trace to slab moisture — water trapped in or migrating through the concrete pushes the resin off the surface no matter how good the product is. We moisture-test the slab before coating and proceed only when the reading supports it, which is why we test before we trust a floor.
What type of epoxy floor is best for a warehouse or garage in Tema? For heavy forklift and palletised traffic, a broadcast-quartz or high-build system gives the mechanical durability and slip resistance the duty needs, finished anti-slip where wash-down or oil is present. Self-levelling suits showrooms and hygiene areas; metallic and 3D suit presentation floors. We match the system to the traffic, the chemicals, and the wash-down regime.
How much does an epoxy floor cost per square metre in Accra? Cost is quoted per square metre after a free on-site survey, because it depends on the system, the slab condition and moisture, the preparation required, the area, and access. We never give a fixed price before grading and testing the slab.
