Let's talk about... Coating block work I come across various resin flooring installations where I wonder if there are elements I would do differently. Below is a photo of a dog pound project, where the requirement was to apply the epoxy coating up the wall to enable the space to be hosed out. What are your thoughts when it comes to coating blockwork? Take care and keep smiling ResinJack #epoxyresinflooring #resinjack #realworldepoxies #concretecoatings #resinflooringinternational
Subject to the type of block, concrete blocks will bankrupt you, as Jon said, we would fill our first coat using our recycled plastic. Then expect to apply a further two coats. It’s important to specify you are sealing the blocks not applying a 4mm screed. It’s a cheaper option to a screed and must be judged as such
We have a Toilet block In our warehouse complex that is block like this setout. I’m going to get the staff to coat the walls to try out different things.
Much of the mortar used to bond concrete blocks together may leach efflorescence, and eventually pop out the epoxy coating. As long as they are not washing the dogs there, it should work over the long term. You didn't show the drain? Just curious, why is the floor is not sloped to a central drain? Good drainage will prevent pooling of water -- soapy water.
Blocks should be pointed and we always suggest a fairing coat prior to any coatings
A polyaspartic resin for the coating would be the best option here, Jack.
seal up the blocks 1st coat with emulsion paint, allow to cure then apply epoxy coating verticle grade. cost-effective solution
I have done loads of chemical bunds this year I piss down first coat then 2 more coats of resin does the job 👍

4moWe've done a project similar to this, taller walls though. We filled the seams with Sikadur32, which was a nightmare. Then 2x sika 261. Turned out great but filling the seams was a nightmare. Will definitely use something different next time if we can.
