About Al Arid

Al Arid is one of north Riyadh's newest and largest districts, bounded by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Road to the south, which separates it from Al Yasmin, King Fahd Road to the west next to Al Qirawan, and Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Road to the east next to Al Narjis, extending north towards Banban. The district is still growing fast: new villas and villa projects under construction, new apartment buildings, rest houses and chalets, and residential plots being developed one after another. This stage gives Al Arid owners an opportunity older districts lack: installing roof, tank and floor insulation during construction, in the right sequence alongside other trades, rather than fixing leaks and heat after moving in.

Why Al Arid homes need epoxy flooring & coatings

In new Al Arid villas, epoxy is usually requested for the garage, laundry and storeroom, and sometimes for a majlis or reception annex using decorative or metallic systems that give a glossy, jointless finish, with these areas typically 40 to 180 square metres. The specific problem with new buildings is that the slab is freshly cast and still holds a lot of moisture, and applying epoxy too early causes blistering and delamination. So concrete moisture is measured before work starts, and a suitable primer is used or the job is postponed. In the district's rest houses, anti-slip systems are used for service kitchens, storerooms and washrooms that are cleaned constantly.

Materials and specifications

  • Epoxy primer: Seals the concrete pores and bonds the system; its type depends on slab moisture and porosity.
  • Roller-applied epoxy coating: Two thin coats for majlis rooms, diwaniyas, offices and light-traffic storage.
  • Self-levelling epoxy: A smooth seamless surface a few millimetres thick for showrooms, corridors, hospitals and kitchens.
  • Epoxy mortar with quartz sand: For heavy loads, forklifts and car parks; can be textured for slip resistance.
  • Aliphatic polyurethane topcoat: Improves scratch resistance and colour stability where light exposure is high, depending on the system.

We select products conforming to the relevant Saudi standards and apply them per the manufacturer's datasheet.

Execution plan in Al Arid

  1. Assess the floor: concrete age, surface strength and moisture using the tests set in the system's data sheet
  2. Prepare the surface mechanically by grinding or shot-blasting, then vacuum all dust
  3. Repair cracks, holes and construction joints with epoxy filler or mortar
  4. Apply the primer, respecting surface temperature and dew-point margin
  5. Apply the system coats at the specified consumption and thickness, broadcasting sand for slip-resistant finishes
  6. Apply the topcoat and close the area until full cure before traffic and loads

Questions from Al Arid residents

When can epoxy go on new concrete in an Al Arid villa in Riyadh?

Once the slab has lost most of its moisture, which is confirmed by measurement rather than by counting days, because drying varies with thickness, ventilation and season. If the Al Arid schedule is tight, a primer designed for damp substrates can be used as the datasheet allows. Applying epoxy early without testing is the most common cause of blistering.

How much does epoxy cost for a garage and majlis in an Al Arid villa?

The indicative range is SAR 35–120 per square metre excluding VAT; practical garage systems sit in the lower to middle range, and decorative or metallic majlis systems at the top. A 60 square metre garage and a 50 square metre majlis in Al Arid are priced after inspection in Riyadh. Prices are a guide only and are set after inspection.

Is metallic epoxy flooring a good fit for a majlis in an Al Arid villa?

It suits indoor majlis rooms because it is seamless, easy to clean and distinctive, but it shows scratches more than tiles, so use felt pads under furniture and avoid long direct sunlight on it. In Al Arid villas it is installed after painting and gypsum work are finished in Riyadh, so it is not damaged by other trades.
