Floor coatings are one of the most durable, beautiful, and easy to clean choices for industrial flooring. While many factors likely went into making the choice to depend on concrete to add to the overall look and feel of your space, there’s still one more big question that must be addressed; which industrial floor coating will you choose to protect your concrete floors? We have many different options. We have our 6.0 Epoxy, our Hybrid XT resin, chemical resistant coatings, ESD coatings, and much more. Here are three things to consider when choosing an industrial floor coating.
1. Safety
When evaluating various floor coating products, it is important to be aware of the indoor air quality both during and after the application process. Low-VOC or no-VOC products prevent dangerous substances like solvents, phthalates, heavy metals, and formaldehyde from entering the air by omitting them from their products completely. They are also safe for use near food preparation areas including walk-in coolers and areas where people will eat. Low-odor floor sealers are inert, so the residual chemical smell that other floor sealers emit are not an issue.
2. Durability
Polished and sealed concrete offers unsurpassed durability. A high-quality epoxy finish offers a surface that is difficult to damage. This is an ideal option for high traffic areas. One of the qualities of sealed concrete that makes it so eco-friendly is its long life-span. Once installed and sealed, the surface of a properly maintained floor coating can easily last a lifetime. In the unlikely event that a floor coating should ever require refinishing, the environmental impact is low compared to other flooring options.
3. Maintenance
Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is a much easier process when you start with a flooring system that discourages bacterial growth. Over time, microscopic cracking, grout lines, and seams collect bacteria and allow it to breed. These surfaces are nearly impossible to disinfect. Seamless concrete floor coatings offer no safe haven for dangerous germs and bacteria. The seamless and pore-less nature of a high-quality concrete floor coating is easy to clean with environmentally-friendly cleaners
