Floor painting in Geneva: technical resin for condominiums, public authorities and companies in the canton
Azzo Peinture, a company based in Satigny, has been applying resin floor coverings throughout the canton of Geneva since 2018. Underground car parks in condominiums, laundry rooms and cellars in rental buildings, workshops and warehouses in the industrial zone: we protect Geneva's concrete floors and improve their day-to-day use, with durable floor markings when your spaces need them.
Geneva's building stock: thousands of concrete floors to protect
Geneva has a dense stock of condominiums and rental buildings, each with underground car parks, laundry rooms, cellars and technical rooms with rough concrete floors. These surfaces wear, dust and stain. The canton also has large business parks - where resin flooring is standard. Here's how Azzo meets these needs.
Underground car parks in Geneva condominiums: traffic-resistant epoxy resin
Most buildings in Geneva built since the 1960s have an underground car park. These concrete slabs are subjected to intense daily traffic: vehicles rolling, manoeuvring, oil and fuel leaks and constant damp. Without protection, the concrete collects dust, stains and becomes brittle. An epoxy resin applied according to the rules of the trade transforms these spaces over the long term. For condominiums, it's also an investment that enhances the value of the building and limits recurring basement maintenance costs.
What epoxy resin can do for a condominium car park :
- Resistance to vehicle traffic The epoxy resin withstands intensive traffic without flaking, whereas conventional floor paint would degrade in a few months.
- Resistance to hydrocarbons Engine oils, fuels and coolants do not attack the coating, which is easy to clean.
- Brightness gain A light-coloured resin floor reflects the light, making Geneva's often dark basements much more welcoming and safer.
- Integrated durable marking The markings are laid with the paving and remain clear over time.
Laundry rooms, cellars and communal areas: healthy floors for buildings in the canton
In Geneva's apartment blocks, laundry rooms, cellars and technical corridors all share the same problem: a rough concrete floor that is permanently dusty and marks with the slightest spot of damp or washing powder. For building managers and co-owners, this is a recurring source of complaints from residents and a time-consuming maintenance job.
What a resin coating changes in these premises :
- No more concrete dust The resin seals the surface permanently. No more grey deposits on linen, boxes stored in cellars or technical installations.
- Protection against moisture and laundry In laundry rooms, resinated flooring resists water run-off and washing products without staining or degrading.
- Simplified maintenance A smooth, continuous floor can be cleaned with a single sweep. The workload of the janitorial staff is considerably reduced.
- Healthier premises for residents Less dust means more breathable air in spaces that are often poorly ventilated, and real comfort for everyone in the building.
Geneva workshops and warehouses: high-resistance industrial floor coverings
The canton of Geneva is home to numerous business parks where workshops, warehouses and production facilities number in the hundreds. In these environments, floors are subjected to stresses that only an industrial floor covering can withstand: impact, abrasion, rolling loads and contact with chemicals.
Our answer for these professional floors:
- Reinforced mechanical resistance The thick layer of epoxy resin withstands dropped tools, pallet trucks and heavy machinery without cracking.
- Resistance to chemicals : oils, solvents and aggressive products commonly used in the workshop do not attack the coating, which retains its integrity over time.
- Optional non-slip surface In high-risk traffic areas, we incorporate an anti-slip filler for staff safety.
- Easy-to-clean floor A seamless, continuous coating maintains a clean working environment that meets the hygiene requirements of many sectors.
Road markings in Geneva: organising and securing your spaces
As well as protecting the concrete, a well-organised floor is safer and more functional. Floor marking is an integral part of our services in Geneva: it complements the resin coating or can be applied on its own to an existing floor in good condition.
Numbering of parking spaces
In the car parks of Geneva's condominiums and rental buildings, clear numbering of spaces avoids conflicts between residents and makes it easier for the management to allocate spaces. We mark out clear, durable numbers that are legible over time despite the passage of vehicles.
Marking out technical and traffic areas
Dividing lines, storage areas, footpaths, reserved areas: in workshops, warehouses and plant rooms, clear marking structures the space and reduces risks. We'll work with you to define the marking plan best suited to your activity.
Painting floors in laundry rooms and small premises
Not all floors require an industrial resin. For a building laundry room, a private cellar or a low-traffic plant room, a floor paint suitable for concrete offers an excellent compromise: a clean, dust-free, easy-to-maintain surface at a reasonable price. We'll recommend the solution that's best for you, depending on the actual use of the space.
Renovation and resurfacing of an existing resin floor
A resin floor that has aged, has worn areas or faded markings does not necessarily have to be completely redone. We assess the condition of the existing surface and propose, depending on the case, a targeted repair or a complete new layer - the most economical solution compatible with the expected result.
Why Geneva's housing associations and condominiums trust us with their floors
Three concrete reasons that make all the difference on a flooring site.
Preparing the substrate determines the result
A resinated floor only holds up if the concrete is properly prepared beforehand: thoroughly cleaned, cracks and spalls repaired, and a coat of primer applied. This is the stage that contractors in a hurry neglect - and the number one reason for coatings that blister or peel. At Azzo, preparation is never sacrificed. We also check the residual moisture content of the slab before application: concrete that is still damp will compromise the adhesion of the resin, even if it is perfectly laid. This preliminary check is part of our systematic method on every site in Geneva.
An organisation designed to limit the use of space
A car park or laundry room cannot remain closed for a week. We plan our worksites in Geneva to minimise disruption: work is carried out in half-areas whenever possible, with clear communication of drying times and coordination with the building management and caretakers. Pedestrian traffic is generally back in service within 24 to 48 hours, and vehicle traffic within 3 to 5 days.
A single point of contact, from quotation to delivery
With Azzo, you deal with the craftsman carrying out the work, not an intermediary. With detailed estimates, VAT invoicing and a format suitable for presentation at condominium meetings if required, we provide a single, reliable point of contact from start to finish for all the township's housing associations and committees.
