In warehouses, constant wear and tear from foot traffic, chemicals, and heavy machinery can take a toll on the floors. Epoxy flooring for warehouses protects against this damage and adds an extra layer of protection over the concrete. This flooring is a resin-based flooring system that is applied over concrete to create a seamless floor.
Epoxy flooring is a durable, long-lasting solution that extends the lifespan of your warehouse floors and prevents safety hazards.
Benefits of Epoxy Flooring for Warehouses
Durability
Epoxy flooring is a popular choice for industrial and commercial buildings because it is extremely durable and strong. It can withstand compressive pressures of more than 10,000 psi. Extra-strength epoxy formulas can withstand 25,000+ psi. This makes it stronger than concrete. It is highly abrasion and impact-resistant, meaning it can last a long time without getting scratches, cracks, or scuffs. With proper maintenance, epoxy flooring can last decades.
Chemical Resistant
Because epoxy creates a non-porous, seamless surface, it doesn’t absorb liquids and chemicals like untreated concrete would. Any chemicals stay on the surface, making it easier to clean. Epoxy is resistant to oils, grease, acids, solvents, bases, alcohol, and fuel.
Customizable
Epoxy is available in many colors and finishes. Work areas and safety zones can be marked using the different colors of epoxy. You can choose high-gloss or matte epoxy, depending on your preference, and logos or other decorative features can be incorporated.
Increases Safety
Anti-slip additives can be added to the epoxy to create a textured surface to help prevent falls. This is especially important in any areas that may become wet or have heavy foot traffic.
Epoxy Flooring Installation Process
Surface Prep – Our team will start by cleaning and repairing the current concrete floor. This ensures maximum adhesion.
Primer – The primer is a bonding agent that helps the epoxy adhere to the concrete.
Epoxy Application – We will apply multiple layers of epoxy to achieve the proper thickness and allow it to cure.
Top Coat – This final layer seals the epoxy. This is when we apply the anti-slip layer or any custom markings.
