Warehouse Flooring
With warehouse flooring, you’ll typically be after something that’s durable, easy to clean and maintain, and presents a minimal tripping hazard. Though a standard concrete floor is cheap and will work well at first, it’ll wear down relatively quickly, with chips, cracks, and potholes presenting a tripping hazard or even damaging equipment. That’s going to lead to lost time and some hefty repair fees, so it’s best to have preventative measures in place.
An epoxy and urethane floor coating is a perfect, simple solution, providing increased durability against regular wear and tear, easy cleaning, and even resistance to harsh chemicals or water damage. There are two common types of epoxy and urethane coatings, so consider which best suits your needs.
The first type of coating is troweled ¼-inch urethane mortar, and it’s the most durable floor coating on the market by a long shot. If your warehouse regularly sees heavy machinery, equipment, or loads, this is the perfect solution. It’s built to shrug off extremely high weight and heavy impacts, so no matter what your warehouse is dealing with, your flooring won’t have a scratch on it by the end.
The second type is a much lighter weight solution, thin mil epoxy. Thin mil epoxy is perfect for less busy warehouses and other types of facilities such as a dispensary or restaurant. While it won’t fare as well against impacts or scrapes, it provides the same convenience and beautiful sheen as any other epoxy flooring.
Epoxy flooring is the easiest way to keep your facility’s floors looking sparkling, beautiful, and clean, and with the proper care, will age remarkably well. As long as you invest in a quality solution and proper cleaning, your new flooring will last for years, even decades to come. Keeping your work environment safe and looking great has never been easier!
