Decorative Epoxy Resin Flooring Installation in Stockport – Kitchen & Hallway Transformation by Epoxy By Design
At Epoxy By Design we specialise in decorative epoxy resin flooring, epoxy flooring, and resinous floors for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces across the UK. This recent project in Stockport is a great example of how resin flooring can be used to completely transform a home interior while also delivering a tough, waterproof, long-lasting surface.
For this installation we completed a 35m² resin kitchen floor and hallway floor in a private property in Stockport. The client wanted a seamless, modern finish that would flow between the two spaces, be easy to clean, and stand up to everyday use. We designed and installed a decorative metallic epoxy floor using a custom blend of Black Pearl, Satin White Grey, and Luster Grey pigments, creating a flowing marble-style effect that is completely unique.
The finished result is not only visually striking but also highly practical, fully waterproof, hygienic, and extremely durable.
The project overview
Location: Stockport, Greater Manchester
Area: Kitchen and hallway
Floor size: 35 square metres
Floor type: Decorative metallic epoxy resin flooring
Colours: Black Pearl, Satin White Grey, Luster Grey
Services included floor restore, floor levelling, floor screed, surface grinding, repairs, resin installation, and sealing.
This project required a significant amount of preparation before any epoxy and resin could be installed, as the original floor level was extremely poor.
The challenge – poor floor level and surface condition
When we first assessed the floor, it was clear that the original substrate was unsuitable for direct resin installation. The surface was uneven, had old adhesive residues, visible cracks, and several low and high spots across the area.
This is a common issue we see when people search for flooring installation contractors near me after previous flooring has failed or been removed. Without proper preparation, even the best resin flooring will not perform as intended.
Before installing the resin floor we carried out the following:
• Heavy mechanical grinding to remove contamination and flatten high spots
• Repairs to cracks and damaged areas
• Floor levelling using a high-performance floor screed to correct the floor level
Only after the surface was perfectly flat, clean, and structurally sound could we begin installing the decorative epoxy resin flooring system.
Why preparation is critical for resin floors
Resinous floors and epoxy flooring are only as good as the surface beneath them. Skipping preparation leads to delamination, bubbling, cracking, and premature failure.
Whether it is a resin kitchen floor, a resin garage floor, store flooring, sports hall flooring, or garage epoxy floors, preparation is always the most important step.
This is why we never rush floor restore, floor levelling, or screeding, even though these stages are not visible once the floor is finished.
The installation process
Once the surface was prepared, the resin flooring installation followed a multi-stage system.
Priming
We applied an epoxy primer to seal the substrate and ensure full adhesion between the floor and the resin layers.
Base coat
A pigmented epoxy base coat was installed to provide depth and colour consistency.
Decorative metallic layer
We then poured and manipulated tthe metallic epoxy pigments by hand. Using Black Pearl, Satin White Grey, and Luster Grey, we created a flowing, layered marble-effect finish that gives the floor depth and movement.
This technique is what makes decorative epoxy resin flooring so popular for statement interiors.
Protective topcoat
Finally, we applied a clear protective topcoat to improve scratch resistance, chemical resistance, UV stability, and slip resistance while also sealing the decorative layer.
Why resin flooring works so well in kitchens and hallways
Resin flooring is becoming increasingly popular for kitchens and hallways because it is seamless, waterproof, and hygienic.
Unlike tiles, there are no grout lines. Unlike wood or laminate, it does not swell, warp, or stain from water. Unlike vinyl, it does not scratch or tear easily.
This makes resin flooring ideal for high-traffic areas where spills, dirt, and moisture are common.
It is also extremely easy to clean, requiring only regular sweeping and mopping.
More than just residential flooring
While this project was a residential kitchen and hallway, the same systems are used for a wide range of applications.
We regularly install epoxy resin garage floor systems, epoxy coated garage flooring, and garage resin flooring for homeowners who want a tough garage flooring solution that looks professional and is easy to maintain.
We also install:
Garage floors epoxy systems
Metallic garage floors
Epoxy on garage floor coatings
Painting the garage floor using industrial resin systems
Flooring for garages and garage floor flooring upgrades
Store floors and store flooring for retail environments
Sports flooring and sports hall flooring
Waterproof coating and coating waterproofing systems
Resin for floors is extremely versatile and can be tailored to suit each environment.
