Surface preparation is the real product
Most resin failures are laitance, contamination, or moisture vapour — not the topcoat colour. Maverick profiles concrete to specified CSP ranges, installs moisture barriers when readings demand them, and only opens resin kits when environmental logs prove it is safe to proceed.
Epoxy vs polyurethane in plain language
Epoxy systems can offer high compressive strength and economic build for dry industrial floors. Polyurethane and PU-cement systems often handle thermal shock, scratching, and certain chemical suites better — especially in food-adjacent or wet processing areas. Final choice must follow manufacturer exposure tables, not guesswork.
Line marking, demarcation, and ESD considerations
Logistics clients need durable line systems that survive tyre scrub. Maverick sequences demarcation after main field cures to avoid ghosting. ESD or conductive systems are quoted only when datasheets and earthing design exist.
Programme and shutdown windows
Weekend MMA or fast-cure programmes can compress downtime, but accelerate risk if preparation is rushed. Maverick publishes realistic cure-before-traffic tables and refuses to shortcut environmental holds that void warranties.
Typical project profiles (anonymised)
Cold storage expansion
Thermal shock–rated screeds replaced failed epoxy in a -18 °C edge zone with phased curtain wall protection.
Chemical bund lining
Bund walls received compatible fibreglass-reinforced systems after spark-free surface prep in a live refinery zone partner-managed.
E-commerce fulfilment hub
Line marking and colour zones were installed to 5S layout drawings with QA thickness maps filed for landlord handover.

Frequently asked questions
Why do epoxy floors peel?▼
Usually moisture vapour, oil contamination, wrong primer, or applying outside datasheet temperature/humidity windows. Diagnosis prevents repeat spend.
Can you coat damp slabs?▼
Only with engineered moisture mitigation systems — never by ignoring readings.
How long before forklifts return?▼
Product- and temperature-specific. Fast-cure systems exist but cost more and still need proper prep.
Do you provide slip ratings?▼
Yes — aggregate profiles are selected to documented slip resistance bands for wet/dry areas.
Do you remove old coatings?▼
Failed layers are mechanically removed until sound concrete is exposed unless overcoat systems are tested and approved.
Can you work at night only?▼
Night shifts are common for live facilities; noise and light curfews are written into method statements.
What maintenance is required?▼
Manufacturer cleaning schedules exist; we hand over neutral pH cleaning guidance to avoid stripping plasticisers.
Do you handle joints in floors?▼
Yes — we coordinate with expansion joint teams so resin fields do not bridge movement incorrectly.
Are VOC certificates available?▼
Low-VOC systems can be specified for enclosed plants; datasheets accompany tender packs.
What areas do you serve?▼
Gauteng industrial corridors — Midrand, Centurion, Kempton Park, Rosslyn, Wadeville, and similar nodes.
