COMMERCIAL EPOXY FLOOR
Commercial floors are exposed to a unique combination of stressful conditions on a daily basis. This is why epoxy is the go-to flooring systems for commercial facilities. An epoxy floor coating or similar resinous coating provides the sturdy protection a facility needs, while also offering a wide array of aesthetic options that are as attractive as they are functional.
Commercial Epoxy Floor Protection Options
Fluid-applied epoxy floor coatings have the advantage of being virtually seamless. This is particularly important in a commercial setting, where any breaks in the surface of the floor can allow corrosive chemicals, fluids and other hazardous materials to leach into the underlying concrete slabs, and eventually into the soil underneath, creating environmental issues that can be very costly to resolve. The seamless aspect also allows for easy cleaning and minimal maintenance, while commercial floor coatings help distribute impact and weight across the floor, providing improved strength and durability.
A variety of formulary and design options allow designers and building owners to select the highest performance value for each unique commercial facility, including:
- Extra Heavy Duty –Ideal for truck and trailer, as well as machinery maintenance facilities, where the presence of high traffic levels, heavy loads, dragged metal parts and the like present the constant risk of damage and abrasion. An extra heavy duty epoxy flooring system can help protect the concrete slab from the worst kinds of abuse year after year.
- Puncture Resistance -In commercial areas, sharp tools and dropped implements are the norm, demanding a floor that can withstand impact and help prevent the concrete from puncture damage.
- Extreme Chemical Resistance –The beating a commercial floor takes isn’t limited to physical force and impact – these settings are also regularly exposed to potent corrosives and harsh solvents. A specially formulated epoxy flooring system, including a high-performance chemical resistant urethane topcoat, is designed to stand up to these chemicals.
- Thermal Shock Resistance –For commercial spaces that steam-clean their floors, the sudden change in temperature when very hot water, can cause some standard flooring systems to pop or delaminate. Life Deck offers epoxy systems that are designed to perform and maintain its tenacious bond under these extreme conditions.
