Industrial Epoxy Flooring

Most industrial facilities are the sites of fast-moving people and machines.

They all go through a significant amount of wear – and even abuse. Heavy machinery and mobile units, such as forklifts, can cause gouges, scratches, and abrasion.

How Floor Coatings Benefit Your Facility

Our Industrial Work Portfolio

The reason that epoxy is chosen is because, when it is professionally installed by Columbus Epoxy Flooring, it will provide a high-performance, smooth, and durable surface that will last for years while withstanding the wear and tear of commercial usage.

Industrial operations typically involve for human traffic, material handle, heavy traffic and – in many cases – heavy loads being moved in, out, and around a location. This is particularly true with regard to retail settings or commercial office buildings. Owners and operators depend on epoxy floors to maintain clean and safe conditions for workers, equipment, and inventory, while also providing professional appearances for prospective and existing customer tours of their facilities.

Why Epoxy Flooring

An industrial concern is making a substantial investment when it decides to resurface an older concrete floor with epoxy.  In addition to making the space where it is applied more productive by remedying cracks, gouges, and scrapes with a durable and long-lasting epoxy floor, you get some significant side benefits.

Long Life at a Reasonable Cost

When the concrete floors in industrial locations began to be rutty and hard to navigate, it’s a good bet that something needs to get done.   Completely tearing out and replacing a concrete floor is a very expensive and time-consuming process.  The cost and loss of work time is enormous, so resurfacing with epoxy floor coating may be a cost- effective solution.

The good news is that epoxy coating the floors is an excellent solution and, compared to tearing out and replacing all the concrete, it’s a bargain.   It’s durable enough to deal with all the “moving parts” that occur in an industrial setting.  Epoxy is resilient enough to deal with pallets, sliding boxes, forklifts, and foot traffic – plus more.

One of the other benefits is that it can help to create a safer workplace because it provides good traction with the addition of slip resistance – much better than plain cement – so employees are at a greatly reduced risk from slips and falls – which not only disrupts your business but can also cause valuable employees to become injured and set the stage for workers’ comp claims.

The clean attractive appearance of epoxy/resinous coatings also make it easier to organize and maintain a revived, new look, which usually makes workers feel better about being at work and makes it easier for them to maintain efficiency.  Morale is an important issue and having a “nice” workplace helps employees take pride in their work space.

Meeting Different Requirements

Some activities require a more robust formulation of epoxy to handle a harder or heavier load.  Columbus Epoxy Flooring has the technology and experience to provide customized variations to take care of virtually every type of special requirement without breaking the budget.
