Epoxy Resin Coatings for Warehouse Floors

Macadam Construction is proud to provide a variety of services related to warehouse floor coatings, from new construction to maintenance to repairs. For most warehouse flooring facilities, we recommend epoxy resin coatings.

These are a popular choice for warehouse floors due to their durability, strength, and ability to withstand heavy traffic and various industrial demands. They’re made by mixing epoxy resin with a hardening agent, which creates a chemical reaction resulting in a hard, plastic-like surface that adheres well to concrete or other suitable substrates.

Benefits of epoxy resin floor coatings include:

  • Durability. Epoxy resin coatings are incredibly durable and can withstand the wear and tear of a busy warehouse environment. They’re also resistant to abrasion, impact, chemicals, and moisture, making them ideal for protecting concrete floors.
  • Strength. These coatings strengthen existing concrete substrate, which helps it withstand the weight of heavy machinery, forklifts, and the constant movement of goods and materials in a warehouse.
  • Safety. Many epoxy coatings can be formulated with anti-slip additives, which enhance worker safety in the warehouse, especially in areas prone to spills or where oil and chemicals may be present. They are also easy to clean, helping to maintain a safe and hygienic work environment.
  • Aesthetics. Epoxy coatings come in a variety of colors and can be used to create visually appealing floor designs. This is not only functional, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the workspace.
  • Resistance to chemicals. Epoxy coatings are highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, which is important in facilities where various substances may spill or leak. This ensures that the floor remains intact and won’t degrade over time.
  • Easy maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are generally sufficient to keep the floors looking clean and new and free of spills or other hazards, making this coating simple to maintain.
  • Quick installation. Compared to other flooring options, epoxy coatings can be applied relatively quickly, minimizing downtime and allowing your facility to resume operations sooner.
  • Cost-effective. While these coatings have a slightly higher upfront coat to install, their longer lifespan and low maintenance requirements actually make them more budget-friendly in the long run.
  • Easy customization. With various options available for gloss level, color, and the ability to incorporate safety markings and logos, there are endless customization options for your flooring needs.
  • Sustainability. This is an eco-friendly coating option as there are low VOC and solvent-free options available if desired, which is better for the environment and creates a healthier working environment.

 

When applying epoxy resin floor coatings, it’s essential to first prepare the concrete substrate properly by cleaning, repairing existing damage, and ensuring the surface is level and free of contaminants. Our highly experienced team at Macadam Construction is committed to quality and safety, so you can rest assured that the utmost care will be taken when installing your epoxy coating.
