For heavy traffic applications, how many days should epoxy and furan installed floors be kept traffic-free after grouting?

For heavy traffic applications, it's important to allow sufficient curing time for epoxy and furan installed floors before permitting any foot traffic. The recommended duration is generally around 7 days. This extended period ensures that the adhesive and curing agents fully set and harden, providing maximum strength and durability necessary to withstand the wear and tear of heavy traffic. During this time, the materials undergo chemical reactions that enhance their properties, making them less susceptible to damage, such as cracking or bonding failures, which can occur if the floor is subjected to stress prematurely. Allowing the appropriate curing time not only extends the life of the flooring but also maintains the quality of the installation.
