Quick answer: Factory floor coating in Bangladesh is usually done with epoxy. An epoxy roller coat (about ৳60–80 per sq ft) suits light-traffic areas, self-leveling epoxy such as DPF Dupoxy SL (about ৳200 per sq ft at 3 mm) suits garment, pharma and clean production floors, and epoxy mortar (about ৳230–250 per sq ft) suits heavy-duty floors. Good surface preparation is the most important step for a long-lasting floor.

Factory floors in Bangladesh work hard. Garment units, pharmaceutical plants, food factories and warehouses all deal with forklifts, trolleys, chemicals, dust and daily cleaning. Bare concrete cannot cope for long: it cracks, dusts and absorbs spills. An epoxy floor coating turns that concrete into a seamless, hard-wearing and easy-to-clean surface. This guide explains the main epoxy systems for factories, where each one fits, approximate costs per square foot and what to check before you hire an epoxy flooring company.
What Is an Epoxy Floor Coating?
An epoxy floor coating is a resin and hardener system applied over prepared concrete. Once cured, it bonds strongly to the base and forms a hard, seamless layer that resists abrasion, impact and many chemicals. Because there are no joints, dirt and bacteria have nowhere to collect, which makes epoxy popular in hygienic and clean environments.
Types of Epoxy Floor Coating for Factories
1. Epoxy Roller Coat (200–300 micron)
A thin coating applied with a roller. It seals the concrete, stops dusting and gives a clean, coloured finish. Best for light-traffic areas such as stores, offices and corridors.
2. Self-Leveling Epoxy – Dupoxy SL (2–3 mm)
Dupoxy SL is DPF’s self-leveling, solvent-free, coloured epoxy system. It flows out into a smooth, glossy and seamless surface, which makes it ideal for pharmaceutical production, electronics, clean rooms, showrooms and garment factory floors.
3. Epoxy Mortar / Screed (4–6 mm)
A thick, trowel-applied system for heavy-duty production floors that face impact, heavy machinery and constant forklift traffic.
4. ESD / Anti-Static Epoxy
For electronics assembly, server rooms and labs where static electricity must be controlled. See our ESD flooring page.
Where Factories in Bangladesh Use Epoxy Flooring
- Garment and textile factories – dust-free sewing, cutting and finishing floors.
- Pharmaceutical plants – seamless, GMP-friendly floors; see pharmaceutical flooring.
- Warehouses and logistics – durable aisles with clear line marking.
- Manufacturing plants – see factory and warehouse flooring.
- Electronics and clean rooms – smooth, easy-to-clean and anti-static options.
Epoxy Floor Coating Cost per Sq Ft in Bangladesh
| System | Typical Thickness | Approx. Price (BDT / sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Epoxy Roller Coat | 200–300 micron | ৳ 60–80 |
| Self-Leveling Epoxy (Dupoxy SL) | 3 mm | ৳ 200 |
| Epoxy Mortar / Screed | 4–6 mm | ৳ 230–250 |
Prices are approximate and change from time to time with raw-material and shipping costs. Material-only: a 20 kg Dupoxy SL set costs about ৳8,500. Your final price is confirmed after a free site inspection. See our full epoxy flooring price guide.
What Affects the Cost?
- System and thickness – a 3 mm self-leveling floor uses much more material than a roller coat.
- Concrete condition – cracks, oil, moisture and uneven slabs need repair before coating.
- Project size – larger areas usually cost less per square foot.
- Finish and details – colours, line marking, coving and drains add to the cost.
- Working time – night or weekend work around running production can affect the schedule.
Surface Preparation: The Step That Decides Everything
Most epoxy floor failures – peeling, bubbles and cracks – start with poor preparation. A good contractor will check moisture, grind or shot-blast the concrete, repair cracks and apply a primer before the main coat. Read more in our guide to epoxy floor problems and solutions.
Epoxy or PU for Your Factory?
Epoxy gives a harder, glossier finish and suits dry production, pharma and electronics areas. For wet areas, hot water, steam cleaning and food processing, PU concrete is often the better choice. Learn more about PU flooring in Bangladesh.
How to Choose an Epoxy Flooring Company in Bangladesh
- Do they make their own materials? A manufacturer controls quality and supply.
- How will they prepare the concrete? Ask for the exact preparation method.
- Similar projects – ask for factory or warehouse floors they have completed.
