Industrial floor coating serves several important purposes: functionality, appearance and safety. The most appropriate coating depends upon the type of environment and its intended uses. Some coatings hold up better under certain conditions. Using the right type is important for achieving the maximum results and durability.
Determine the Environment
Industrial areas which are subject to high traffic will require a floor coating providing a non-slip quality to provide for the safety of those using the area. Some surface treatments aren’t meant for the workplace and can make the floors slippery, posing a danger for accidental falls. Other considerations include exposure to ultra violet rays, heat and cold, and the most appropriate or desired type of decor. Some industrial floor coatings are more apt to endure harsher, higher traffic, less forgiving environments than others. While a few more decorative options might provide you with the best solution which also matches any pre-existing structures or decor. Regardless of the type of environment or decor requirements, there is an industrial floor coating solution available for any and all types of applications.
Applications for Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy is a versatile and durable floor coating which can be used to achieve a variety of designs and accommodate any building’s aesthetics. It holds up well under harsh environmental conditions because it is highly flexible and resistant to impacts, temperature fluctuations and high traffic volumes. With the right finish and even under the most demanding conditions, the colors will maintain their brightness and integrity which makes it an excellent choice for industrial areas that are required to maintain an attractive atmosphere. The downside of epoxy flooring is it is not highly resistant to UV rays and may not be the best choice for applications which require frequent exposure to UV radiation.
Urethane floor coatings provide most of the benefits of epoxy with the additional benefits of a high resistance to UV rays. While this makes urethane floor coating the best choice for outdoor applications, epoxy is more adaptable to unique decorative applications; both are available in a variety of pigmentation additives.
