Southeastern Industrial Flooring: What Are the Real Advantages of Industrial Coatings?

Concrete floors in the Southeastern USA are porous surfaces which rapidly create dust, retain stains and are prone to cracking because of the wear of daily use. In an industrial environment, those weaknesses increase exponentially, creating potential perils for workers and users of these floors. Unless protected by the adequate coating materials, industrial floors not only become unsafe, but also deteriorate at a much faster rate. Lifetime Epoxy installs all types of industrial epoxy floor coatings. Here are the main advantages of installing their top quality floors.

The main advantage of industrial coatings is the general improvement of the floor condition and life cycle: they strengthen the floor surface, increase its resistance to abrasion, wear and chemicals, improve its appearance and ambience, and contribute to make it safer, eliminating hazard and danger areas, marking out guidance to fire exits or offering anti-slip protection. All of these features are of particular importance for commercial and leisure industries, where floors and facilities are open to the general public.

Other industries may also need anti-slip coating for their floors, along with other features available for industrial floor coatings such as resistance to extreme temperatures, pressure or chemical wash, high hygiene standards, dust-free preparation and easy maintenance, as seen in the case of food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. As advised by professionals on industrial flooring in the Southeastern USA., each type of industry has particular needs regarding the specific wear conditions their floors have to be able to endure; therefore, choosing the adequate material is essential to ensure the best performance and the lowest life cycle cost.

​Making the most of industrial floor coatings means choosing materials specially designed and engineered to withstand the particular abuse each type of industrial floor is subject to, be it chemical exposure, abrasion, impact or thermal shock. Apart from these four elements, there are other important aspects to consider when deciding on a certain coating material. Epoxy, for example, provides a tough, protective and very hard coating, with the additional advantages of being easy to clean and maintain, allowing to create differentiated areas with color and texture, being non-toxic and safe for the environment or providing anti-slip protection for workers and general users.

Coatings bonded directly to the surface of the concrete floor, such as Epoxy coatings, offer a long term protection, most of them including also an aesthetic value, very useful to certain industries. For the automotive industry, for example, Epoxy coatings offer a hard wearing, easy to clean solution with a high degree of slip resistance in greasy and wet environments, and the additional value of a decorative feature to reflect the colors of a corporate branding.

Offering high strength and resistance, hygiene and resin floor coating features, industrial floor coatings help businesses maintaining the highest safety standards

Guest Author: By Jeremy Yarbro

The Huntsville-Madison market is full of ways you can enhance your garage floors. Garage floor coatings are numerous and there are many treatments to choose from. Some treatments are designed to improve the appearance while others add a protective layer. Choosing a product to coat the floors in your garage basically comes down to the type of look and function you wish to gain in the space. So many people completely forget about their garages until it is time to sell their home. A garage has one main function and that is to store items like your vehicles and lawn and garden equipment but it is common for a garage to become the catch all space in your home. Very few garages actually contain a car anymore and most are full of unused furniture, decorative items, and things you and your family no longer have a need for.

Changing how you use the space within your garage is fairly simple. It begins with removing the clutter and applying a new coating to the floors so the space looks cleaner and more inviting. Many homeowners are trying to add value to their homes at a time when most home values are depreciating. Fixing up your garage can also add function to one of the largest spaces within your home. A garage can easily be converted into a playroom or activity area for your family. Dads can use the garage to tackle some of those projects he has been meaning to do but just doesn't have the space to spread out and get done. Mom can use the space for her gardening or craft making.

Garage work spaces are easy to create and sometimes all it takes is the addition of shelving above a countertop area. Designating a separate area for each function you wish to allocate to the garage is a great way to make full use of all that extra space. Some homes have a laundry area in the garage or utility area. Other homes have large garages that can fit way more than just vehicles. When changing the function of your garage to incorporate other functions or utilities, it is highly important to treat the floor with a coating that is both beautiful and durable. Most floor treatments will leave your garage with a surface that is shiny and easy to clean and maintain. Some epoxy products are even strong enough to withstand chemical spills or acidic liquids. Other products are designed to reduce the moisture in the area so your garage flooring never cracks or deteriorates under the pressure of weight or with many years of frequent use.

Finding the right garage floor coatings that can best fit the overall need of your garage will take some time and investigating on your part. If you plan to do the work yourself, it is recommended that you follow the coating instructions fully. Some products are easy to mix and apply while others are best left to the professionals. Researching the different treatments that are available and determining which one will best work for your garage and family needs is recommended by most professionals. In order for the treatment to add value to your home it will need to be applied properly and intended to last for a long time. It must also enhance both the appearance and functionality of the space.

Huntsville;Madison Garage Floor Coatings: Make Your Garage Floor Attractive

By Guest Expert Author: Richard Alone  

Most Huntsville-Madison homeowners consider garage a wasteland. For most homeowners the garage is the black hole of their home's universe. Unwanted items from all other areas of the house are pulled in, stacked and forgotten until one day you open the door, look in and realize you can't see from one side to the other. But if you do little bit of work it can turn out to be an attractive and valuable space to spend your time and store some of your valuable possessions. Many homeowners store all their valuable possessions like ATV's prized automobiles in this less prime condition.

You can make your garage attractive by installing garage coatings. Such type of coatings will protect your garage floor and look great at the same time. If this part of your house looks good, you're more likely to keep the rest of it organized and in good shape.

One main reason why homeowners do coating in garage is due to its sharp appearance. Garage Floor coatings are available in many different colors and textures to give it more traction and a classier appearance. Another advantage of taking up garage coating is because they extend the life of your garage floor. Most are made up of a high-grade epoxy which repels water, oil and other materials, resisting the contaminants that eat away at your floor and eventually cause it to fail. Most auto shops have attractive garages due to garage floor coatings.

Various types of garage floor coatings are available in the market but the most popular ones are epoxy systems. Do make sure that your floor is in the right shape for the paint to take. One of the best ways to test it is to pour some water on the floor and see if it soaks in or beads up. If you see it is still sitting there after a few minutes, you have to treat your concrete with a sealer and you can break that down or etch it before you apply the coating. You have to purchase a special concrete etching solution that breaks down the sealer and your floor is ready for final application. After that, make sure your floor is as clean as possible before starting the job.

Many people use coatings to protect their floor from harmful chemicals, destructive scratches and mechanical shock due to cleaning equipment. Different types of garage floor coatings are available in the market like epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic sealer and latex. Many homeowners use polyurethane coating as it can resist chemical pills. This coating does not fade off easily. You have to first apply epoxy paint on the floor and then use polyurethane coating on the floor. However, latex paint can fade easily as they are exposed to sun and so it is advisable to apply a protective coating over it.
