What is Sikafloor and Sikagard?

Sikafloor and wall systems are some of the toughest systems out there. From our aesthetically pleasing designs which are 100% customizable to our most hygienic system that covers your room from floor to ceiling. No matter how small or how big the facility is, we got you covered.

When it comes to flooring systems, we won't compromise. At Sika, we spend unlimited hours, months, even years on a floor system, not stopping until we know it's the best it can be. And apparently, our commitment has paid off - we're the largest manufacturer of high performance, resinous flooring products in the world. 

We thrive in demanding environments. From thousand-pound steel lifts to razor-sharp operating chisels, we can take on the harshest elements and still look beautiful while doing it. After all, high performance flooring is our specialty, and they don't call us the experts in polyurethane and epoxy chemistry for nothing. 

As a global market leader in construction chemicals, when it came to creating functional, beautiful flooring, it was like a match made in heaven. Although like any great relationship, we're constantly working at it. Across the globe, our research and development specialists dig in day and night, experimenting, testing and trying things that have never been done before. 

Having the right chemistry is important but innovation also takes courage. Courage to question the past, to re-examine established practices and to crawl out on a limb with no one below to catch you. Over 800 employees work in product development, and our the past years, Sika has filed more than seventy new patent applications and launched a significant number of new products to satisfy our customers' needs and desires.

Seamless floor and wall systems facilitates a cleaner, safer environment, removing a potential hiding place and breeding ground for bacteria or other contaminants that could threaten your facility's regulatory compliance. This monolithic layer provides greater protection for concrete substrates by eliminating penetration points where chemicals and other damaging materials could travel to the underlying base.

Traditional flooring systems produce gaps and joints when installed, which then become the weakest part of the floor, allowing dirt and bacteria to accumulate. These joints are most apparent between different components, between floors and walls and around columns and entrances.  This can be especially dangerous in food processing and healthcare facilities which demand a sterile environment.

By definition, resinous floors and wall coatings are ideal for maintaining a clean disinfected area. The resins utilized typically have high crosslink densities providing excellent chemical and stain resistance plus cure to a smooth surface minimizing microbial growth areas.  Unlike many of the other options resinous flooring is unique in that with the appropriate cove detail, the wall to floor transition provides a completely seamless interface with a “negative” edge that will not collect dust.

Seamless, high performance, reinforced wall and ceiling coating systems, Sikagard, combine low VOC, high performance polymer technology with fiberglass reinforcement for superior durability and dimensional stability.
