Industrial Epoxy Flooring Is Measured By Thickness
The thickness of the coating decides how long an industrial floor lasts. A thin roll on coat might be a few thousandths of an inch thick and wear through in a busy lane within a year or two. A high build or self levelling system can be many times thicker.
Every quote we write names the finished thickness for each area of the floor. The fabrication bays and forklift lanes get the thickest build, while lighter areas like tool cribs and offices get less, so the budget goes where the wear is.
Industrial Epoxy Flooring For Welding And Hot Work
Welding and grinding put hot slag and sparks on the floor, which can scorch or pit a soft coating. In welding bays we use harder, higher build industrial epoxy flooring and keep the colour mid grey so burn marks do not stand out.
Where floors see hydraulic oil, coolant or cutting fluids, we add a chemical resistant topcoat. Bays that get washed down or tracked with winter slush get a slip resistant broadcast. For the wash bays and service bays themselves, see our shop floor coating page.
Keeping The Plant Running During Industrial Epoxy Flooring
Most plants cannot stop production for a whole floor, so we install industrial epoxy flooring in phases. Equipment is moved one area at a time, and each zone is handed back on a written schedule before the next one starts.
Night shifts, weekends and planned shutdowns are all normal for this work. Tell us when your slow periods are, and we will plan the job around them.
