Industrial Floor Coatings for Warehouses and Production Units
The question on an industrial floor is never which colour. It is how many hours the aisle is out of service, whether the coating survives a loaded counterbalance truck turning on the spot, and what happens if the slab is damp.
Where this works
- Warehouse racking aisles and pick faces
- Production and packing halls
- Loading bays and yard thresholds
- Chill stores and food production areas
- Vehicle workshops and maintenance bays
How we install it
- 1Slab test before we quote
Pull off strength, moisture reading and a check for previous coatings or curing compound. A price given without those numbers is a guess, and it is usually the reason a cheap floor fails in year two.
- 2Captive shot blast
Whole area shot blasted to the profile the chosen system needs, with vacuum recovery so adjacent zones stay in use. Joints are saw cut and cracks resin stitched.
- 3Phase around production
We work in bays and hand each one back before opening the next, so racking is decanted once rather than the whole warehouse being cleared. Nights and weekend shifts are normal for us.
- 4Build, seal and line mark
System applied to spec thickness, sealed, then aisle lines, hatching, walkways and bay numbering set out and applied once the coating has cured.
Common pitfalls we prevent
Frequently asked
How long will the floor be out of use?+
A polyaspartic bay can be walked on in two to four hours and take forklift traffic the next day. Epoxy and polyurethane concrete need 24 hours for foot traffic and around 72 hours before loaded trucks. We phase in bays so the whole site is never down.
Can you work while the unit stays operational?+
Yes. Most of our industrial work is phased or out of hours. We hoard and dust screen each bay, run vacuum recovery on the blasting and hand back completed zones progressively.
Will it take forklift traffic?+
Yes, when the system is matched to the truck. Counterbalance trucks with solid tyres turning on the spot need an epoxy screed or polyurethane concrete rather than a thin roller coating.
What if the concrete slab is damaged?+
Spalled areas, joint arrises and cracks are repaired as a separate first stage with a resin mortar. We price repair honestly rather than hiding failing concrete under a coating.
Do you include line marking?+
Yes, aisle lines, pedestrian walkways, hatching, bay numbers and safety zones are set out with you and applied once the floor has cured, so the markings sit in the same system rather than peeling off later.
