Monarflow is an epoxy resin, self-levelling and self-smoothing floor system that cures to create a seamless, high-gloss finish. This form of resinous flooring is designed to deliver both strength and style, providing a surface that is tough enough for industrial use while maintaining an attractive appearance. Unlike thinner coatings, Monarflow is applied at a greater thickness, giving it enhanced durability and a longer service life.
As a result, it is an excellent choice for environments where presentation matters as much as performance. From car showrooms and automotive workshops to laboratories, warehouses, and retail spaces, Monarflow provides a smooth, professional finish that is easy to clean and maintain. By choosing this proven resin for floors, businesses benefit from a long lasting, hygienic, and cost effective solution that stands up to daily demands.
When businesses require a flooring system that is strong, hygienic, and long lasting, epoxy-based resinous flooring is one of the best solutions available. Monarch’s Monarflow system is a three-component epoxy resin floor topping that has been trusted across the UK for its seamless finish, durability, and professional appearance. Applied as a semi-free flowing liquid, Monarflow cures into a smooth gloss surface that is ideal for industrial and commercial environments.
Monarflow is designed as a self-levelling / self-smoothing epoxy resin system, making it an excellent choice for uneven substrates that need a flat, durable surface. Unlike wood, vinyl, or tiles, Monarflow creates a seamless floor system with no joints or grout lines. This makes it hygienic and easy to clean, as there are no gaps for dirt or bacteria to accumulate. Its seamless nature also gives it a modern, professional look suitable for industries where presentation and compliance both matter.
Applied at 2–3 mm as standard, Monarflow offers a stronger and longer lasting finish than thinner roller applied coatings. A trowel applied version is also available, creating a 5 mm finish for environments with particularly heavy demands. Thanks to its tough, durable surface, Monarflow resin flooring is resistant to pedestrian footfall, vehicle traffic, and constant wear. Its thickness is a key advantage, extending the lifespan of the floor and making it a cost effective investment compared to alternative systems.
Because Monarflow is seamless, it is naturally more hygienic than many traditional flooring types. With no seams or joints to trap dirt, dust, or liquids, it is easy to sanitise and maintain, making it particularly suited for industries with strict hygiene standards and those with high food and beverage hygiene standards. Regular sweeping and simple cleaning routines are all that’s required to keep the surface looking fresh, even in challenging environments.
A variation of the Monarflow epoxy resin product is Monarflow PU which is a polyurethane resin. Monarflow PU offers extra chemical resistance which is particularly useful in areas where solvents or harsh chemicals are used. As it a chemically resistant polyurethane topping it is not damaged by some chemicals as other substrates such as concrete are. Because of this factor, it is suitable for a lot of industrial sectors.
Another Monarflow product is Monarflow PU AS which is an antistatic resin flooring system.
