WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL EPOXY FLOORING?
A Coating System for Industrial Concrete Floors
Industrial epoxy flooring is applied over properly prepared concrete to create a finished floor surface.
Industrial environments can vary considerably. A warehouse with forklift traffic may have different flooring requirements from a workshop, manufacturing area, or maintenance facility.
Before selecting a system, the existing concrete and the conditions the floor will experience should be evaluated.
WHERE CAN INDUSTRIAL EPOXY FLOORING BE USED?
Flooring for Industrial Work Environments
Industrial epoxy flooring can be considered for suitable concrete floors in:
Warehouses
Manufacturing facilities
Workshops
Maintenance areas
Service facilities
Equipment areas
Distribution spaces
Industrial work areas
The appropriate coating depends on the conditions of the facility and how the floor will be used.
WHY CONSIDER INDUSTRIAL EPOXY FLOORING?
A Finished Surface for Demanding Work Areas
Industrial concrete floors can be exposed to constant traffic, equipment, dirt, spills, and regular cleaning.
A suitable epoxy system can provide:
A finished concrete surface
An easier-to-maintain floor
A coating option for suitable equipment and vehicle traffic
A more uniform appearance
Different color and finish options
Flooring options for different industrial applications
The flooring system should be selected according to the actual requirements of the facility.
INDUSTRIAL FLOOR PREPARATION
Start With the Existing Concrete
Proper preparation is an important part of an industrial flooring project.
The existing floor may need to be evaluated for:
Oil and grease
Dirt and contamination
Cracks
Surface damage
Previous coatings
Moisture concerns
Weak or deteriorated concrete
Preparation requirements depend on the condition of the concrete and the selected flooring system.
OUR INDUSTRIAL EPOXY FLOORING PROCESS
1. Evaluate the Facility
We consider the existing concrete, traffic, equipment, working conditions, and intended use.
2. Evaluate the Concrete
The condition of the existing floor helps determine the preparation requirements.
3. Prepare the Surface
The concrete is prepared according to the requirements of the selected flooring system.
4. Address Surface Conditions
Cracks, damage, contamination, existing coatings, or other conditions may require additional preparation.
5. Apply the Coating System
The selected industrial epoxy system is applied to the prepared concrete.
6. Complete the Finish
The selected finish is completed according to the flooring system and project requirements.
7. Allow Proper Curing
The coating requires appropriate curing time before normal facility operations resume.
INDUSTRIAL FLOORING FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS
Warehouse Flooring
Warehouse floors may experience forklifts, pallet movement, equipment, carts, deliveries, and regular traffic. Flooring requirements should be considered based on the actual conditions of the facility.
Manufacturing Flooring
Manufacturing areas can have different flooring needs depending on equipment, traffic, cleaning, and the activities performed within the facility.
Workshop Flooring
Workshops may expose concrete to vehicles, tools, equipment, dirt, oil, and spills. A suitable coating system can provide a finished surface for properly prepared concrete.
Maintenance and Service Areas
Maintenance areas can experience equipment, vehicles, spills, and repeated use. The flooring system should match the conditions of the space.
INDUSTRIAL EPOXY FLOORING OPTIONS
Selecting a Flooring Finish
