How Does Industrial Epoxy Flooring Improve the Reflectivity of Light in Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities?

 Industrial Epoxy Flooring  is more than just a beautiful finish for your facility. It is a high-performance, durable surface that creates a safe working environment for employees and allows your company to operate smoothly and efficiently.

Industrial Epoxy Flooring

In factories, warehouses and distribution facilities, there are many moving parts – carts sliding along the floor, forklifts transporting heavy materials back and forth and high volume foot traffic to name just a few. Without the added traction of an industrial floor coating, slips and falls are a common issue that can lead to serious injury. With the slip-resistant, non-skid properties of industrial epoxy floors, these accidents are greatly reduced and employee safety is increased.

Best way to protect your existing concrete slab

The best way to protect your existing concrete slab and give it a long-lasting, high-performance surface that is resistant to chemicals, water, microbes and temperatures is with an epoxy flooring system. These systems are applied over the concrete substrate and transform it with a seamless, chemical-resistant and visually appealing surface.

Epoxy and urethane floors can be made in almost any color

Epoxy and urethane floors can be made in almost any color you want, and they have an attractive shine that is easy to clean and brightens up the space. They also offer a wide variety of decorative additives for a custom look. These surfaces are highly durable and can withstand the shocks of vehicles, aircraft, forklifts and pallet jacks. They are also very resistant to cracking, which is a frequent problem with concrete.

Regular maintenance will extend its life

A well-designed and installed epoxy flooring system can last for years. Regular maintenance will extend its life. A top coat can be applied every few years to extend the lifespan of your floor. We recommend using a 100% solid epoxy coating instead of a generic water-based formula you may find at your local big box store. We use Garon’s Pour-N-Walk system that produces a very thick coat of material in one pass, which outperforms other standard concrete floor coating systems in thickness and durability.

Extensive downtime will cost your business money

When your Industrial Epoxy Flooring  starts to deteriorate, it can cause your entire facility to shut down until the issue is resolved. Extensive downtime will cost your business money. It can also put your customers at risk, as their orders might not be fulfilled and they might not receive the service they deserve.

If you choose an experienced flooring contractor, your project will go smoothly and you can have the peace of mind knowing that your floors are in good hands. In addition, you will save thousands of dollars that you would have spent on repairing or replacing your floors.

Conclusion

A skilled flooring contractor will perform a thorough inspection of your existing floor to determine the type of floor coating and application process that will work for your facility. If your floors are contaminated with oil, media blasting and diamond grinding may be necessary to prepare the concrete for a proper bond. The entire installation process should only take one day for a small facility or up to a week for large facilities that require a lot of concrete preparation.
