Epoxy flooring over tiles in the bathroom or shower

Strakke badkamer vloer met epoxy

Do you have a bathroom or shower room that you want to apply an epoxy (cast) floor and does the substrate still consist of tiles and you do not want or cannot remove them? Then Polyestershoppen has a solution and manual for that.

After the bathroom floor has been pre-treated, the floor must first be levelled with epoxy levelling compound. Pre-treatment is done with our special primer for tiles or by sanding the floor with a floor sander or grinder.

After levelling, the floor can be finished with epoxy floor coating or epoxy screed as desired. The article also discusses options for making the floor non-slip.


Epoxy flooring over underlayment in your bathroom

After you have levelled the bathroom floor with underlayment, you want to finish it. This can be done just fine with epoxy. However, the procedure is slightly different to that of a tiled or concrete floor. The floor has to be treated with glass fibre and epoxy to make it completely waterproof. You can also immediately include skirting boards to create a tray that is completely waterproof. We have created a step-by-step guide explaining how to make a tight epoxy floor over underlayment.

The article also discusses options for making the floor non-slip.


Coating bathroom or shower walls with epoxy roller coating or polyester

Do you want nice clean walls in your bathroom or shower that are completely waterproof? Then epoxy roll coating as well as polyester is the solution. With the right preparation, finishing with epoxy roll coating can give a nice smooth high-gloss result. With polyester, you get a silky textured finish. Both have advantages and disadvantages. We have listed these for you and explain step-by-step what you need to do.
