Why is epoxy flooring construction not suitable during rainy weather?

26 Feb, 2026

The most suitable construction environment for epoxy flooring is when the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius. Since epoxy flooring requires 3 to 6 construction steps, the materials for each step must be completely dry before proceeding to the next step. Constructing on rainy days will inevitably affect the quality of the flooring. Meici Flooring will tell you why epoxy flooring is not suitable for construction on rainy days.

1. Epoxy flooring is prone to delamination and blistering
Due to rainy weather, the humidity in the air is relatively high, and the ground is not sufficiently dry. Coupled with the special components in the epoxy flooring, it cannot integrate well with water like cement concrete. Therefore, blindly carrying out construction on rainy days can lead to issues such as delamination and bubbling.
2. Epoxy flooring materials are prone to retaining harmful substances
It remains unaffected. Due to the relatively low atmospheric pressure during rainy weather, the construction of epoxy flooring tends to leave harmful substances. Ventilation is necessary, not only to improve the construction conditions, but also to protect the construction workers from harmful substances.

3. Epoxy flooring is prone to whitening
Epoxy flooring typically requires a humidity level below 85%. However, during rainy days, the humidity tends to be higher, which can easily affect the curing of the paint, causing the epoxy flooring to turn white. To prevent this, it is necessary to use a dehumidifier for dehumidification.
4. Insufficient quality of epoxy flooring
Because on rainy days, the temperature is relatively low, two-component epoxy flooring coatings are required for the construction of epoxy flooring. However, if used in a low-temperature environment, the mixing of the main agent and the curing agent may not meet the standards, affecting the construction quality of the flooring.

Therefore, rainy days are not suitable for epoxy flooring construction. We can take some measures to address this issue, but there are still some problems. Therefore, it is recommended not to carry out construction during rainy days. Try to choose weather conditions that are suitable for epoxy flooring construction.
