Industrial flooring price per m²
Guide price for epoxy in the quote configurator; factory floors and specialist systems quoted after a site survey
We price a poured industrial floor per m², according to the system and the layer thickness. For Sikafloor-264 epoxy, solid-colour or with flakes, the quote configurator gives you a guide price: choose the floor type, enter your area and it works out the figure from our price list in Slovakia, in euros. Factory and warehouse floors with forklift traffic, and ESD, ATEX or hygienic floors, are priced on request after a site survey. We’re not VAT-registered, so no VAT is added to our prices. Transport is charged on top, depending on the location.

Calculate the price for my areaWhy industrial flooring prices vary so much online
The figures you find when you search for “industrial flooring cost” can vary several-fold. Often it isn’t the same floor at a different price but a different job under the same name. On top of that, quotes switch between the terms resin floor, poured floor and epoxy floor, even though they may mean the same kind of layer.
The first difference is thickness. A roller-applied coating seals the concrete but doesn’t level out unevenness. A self-levelling layer flows level on its own once poured and covers minor unevenness. Mortar systems are thicker still and take more material and more labour.
The second difference is what the price includes. Some prices cover materials only, others labour only. A VAT-registered contractor adds tax on top of a net price; with us, nothing is added.
The third difference is substrate preparation and floor area. Grinding, crack repair and oil removal are sometimes included in the price and sometimes charged as extras. For small areas we apply a minimum charge. So when you compare two quotes, check them against these three points.
What makes up the price of a poured industrial floor
The price per m² in the quote configurator is for the poured layer only. Substrate preparation and any work your particular floor calls for are itemised separately in the quote.
- Substrate preparation: grinding with dust extraction and vacuuming; on oil-contaminated concrete also Sikafloor-60 Buster or TopStone EP02 O primer.
- Repairs: filling cracks and construction joints, and carrying structural movement joints through into the new layer with a flexible sealant.
- Levelling: a levelling compound 4 to 10 mm thick where the concrete is markedly uneven.
- Layers: primer, the main epoxy layers and an anti-slip broadcast; depending on how the space is used, also an ESD or ATEX layer or a hygienic surface.
- Details: transitions, gullies, service penetrations and coving along the walls.
- Transport: depending on the location you enter in the form.
- Phasing: working in sections while the site stays in operation raises the price.
What pushes up the price of an industrial floor
- Moisture in the concrete that has to be dealt with before pouring.
- Oil soaked into the concrete.
- Cracks, damaged joints and a crumbling surface.
- An uneven substrate that needs a levelling compound.
- An old coating that is peeling off.
- A thicker layer for forklift traffic and heavier loads.
- A requirement for ESD, ATEX, anti-slip or a hygienic surface.
- An awkward layout with lots of transitions, gullies and penetrations.
- Installation in phases while the site stays in operation.
What brings the price down
- Dry, sound, level concrete with no oil.
- One open area rather than several small rooms.
- A cleared space that can be done in one go, without phasing.
- A thickness matched to the actual load.
Industrial epoxy flooring: systems, thicknesses and price
The garage and workshop system has three components: Sikafloor-151 primer, Sikafloor-264 epoxy in two coats and quartz sand, which together give a thickness of about 1 mm. The epoxy can also be ordered as a 2 mm layer, which the quote configurator recommends for workshops, commercial premises and industry. We only specify the other systems after assessing the concrete — measuring moisture and checking strength, movement joints and cracks — which is why they have no set price per m².
| System | Thickness | Best suited to | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sikafloor-264 epoxy, 1 mm layer | 1 mm | Garages, workshops, service bays | in the quote configurator |
| Sikafloor-264 epoxy, 2 mm layer | 2 mm | Workshops, commercial premises and industry | in the quote configurator |
| Epoxy with flakes | 1 mm or 2 mm | Garages and workshops | in the quote configurator |
| Epoxy, polyurethane or a combination with a quartz broadcast | 2–6 mm depending on load | Factories and warehouses with forklifts and racking | on request |
| Anti-static ESD floor | varies by system | Electronics, server rooms, laboratories | on request |
| Dissipative floor for ATEX areas | varies by system | Paint shops and solvent stores | on request |
| Hygienic surface | varies by system | Kitchens, bakeries, dairies | on request |
| Anti-slip surface | varies by system | Wet and greasy areas | on request |
How much downtime to expect
Downtime is part of the cost, even though it never appears on the invoice. While the floor is being laid and curing, the area can’t be used.
The first coat of Sikafloor-264 goes on about 12 hours after the Sikafloor-151 primer; at +20 °C the second follows no sooner than 24 hours later. The times in the table, which the manufacturer gives for Sikafloor-264, run from the second coat.
Pouring is only possible once both the air in the building and the concrete are at +10 °C or above. Only electric heaters are used to warm the space. For 24 hours after pouring, the floor must not be washed and condensation must not form on it. When the floor is poured in phases, these times apply to each section separately.
| Indoor temperature | Foot traffic | Light traffic | Full cure |
|---|---|---|---|
| +20 °C | after about 24 h | after about 4 days | after about 7 days |
| +10 °C | after about 3 days | after about 6 days | after about 10 days |
