Showroom Floor Aesthetics & "Hot Tire Pickup"
Luxury automotive showrooms demand flawless, high-gloss flooring that reflects the prestige of the vehicles on display. However, standard tiles can crack under heavy vehicle loads, while conventional coatings often fail due to hot tire pickup, causing peeling, surface damage, and costly maintenance.
The Problem
The showroom floor must reflect the luxury and prestige of the vehicle brand. Standard tiles crack under the static load of heavy SUVs, and standard floor paints fail due to hot tire pickup — a phenomenon where heat from newly driven tires bonds with the coating, physically tearing it off the concrete when the car is moved.
What is "Hot Tire Pickup"?
When a car enters the showroom, tires are heat-expanded and chemically reactive. As they cool on a standard coating, they bond to the surface — then physically rip the floor off the concrete when the vehicle moves. Most floor systems fail within weeks.

Clear Decorative Epoxy & PU Floor System
DF PU 16C and DF EP 8C applied over Commercial Self-Leveling Cement (SL-C13) — three precision-engineered layers, each solving a specific failure point of standard floors.
Surface Leveling
SL-C13 self-leveling cement is poured to create a perfectly flat, mirror-like base over the existing structural slab — eliminating all unevenness.
Primer Application
A specialized clear primer is applied to maximize adhesion strength between the concrete substrate and the decorative topcoat system above.
Decorative Finish
High-gloss UV-stable decorative polyurethane (DF PU 16C) is poured to achieve a glass-like finish that enhances showroom lighting across every vehicle.
