Industrial and Commercial Floor Coatings

Protect and strengthen your concrete floors with a durable coating.

If you’re looking for an economical and effective way to protect your concrete flooring—whether for a healthcare facility, a commercial space, or an industrial setting—chances are there’s a specialty floor coating that can suit your needs exactly.

Commercial and industrial floor coatings are more than simply paint. Coatings actually protect and strengthen your floor, extending its longevity and minimizing damage. Specialized coatings can also shield the concrete from chemical spills or can prevent the growth of bacteria.

Many coatings are clear, though some offer a variety of beautiful colors for creating decorative or functional designs (such as marking pathways or designating work areas).

Which floor coating should I choose?

Here are the most common types of commercial and industrial floor coatings:

Epoxy

One of the most versatile coating types, epoxy is a great choice for most industrial and commercial applications. The chemical curing step provides a hard, durable surface that resists abrasions and stands up well to heavy foot traffic. Epoxy is available in many colors and patterns.

Urethane

Polyurethane coatings stand up well to constant foot traffic and heavy impacts, as well as more extreme environments including moderate chemical exposure. Urethane coatings are clear and are ideal for maintaining a floor’s existing color. They can also be applied to hardwoods and other flooring types.

Slip Resistant, Safety ID & Production (5S)

If your employees work in especially slippery conditions (such as floors that are often exposed to liquids or loose powder), consider installing an anti-slip coating, which may include suspended minerals for better grip.

Moisture Vapor Control

Water vapor rising from the ground can pass through your concrete, causing mold issues, flooring failures and other headaches. If a professional moisture test shows that your water vapor levels are high, specialized coatings can help.

Extreme Chemical & Wear Resistant

If your facility regularly handles highly acidic, alkaline or other corrosive materials, you’ll want a long-lasting coating that will protect your floors and keep employees safe. An expert can help you find a high-strength, chemical-resistant coating tailored for the materials you handle.

USDA Approved for the Food & Beverage Industries

If your facility process food or beverages, you’ll need to comply with specific flooring regulations in order to keep consumers safe. Coating your existent concrete floor with certain specialized coatings will help you conform to these regulations by preventing the growth of mold and bacteria.

Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) Floor Coatings

If you handle or manufacture electronic equipment that can be affected by static electricity, an ESD floor coating can divert electricity in the air away from your equipment.

Concrete Polishing

Polished concrete is a cost-effective and durable floor coating solution. Take basic concrete to a high shine and wear resistance through true machine polishing. Aesthetics and practicality combined.

The Installation Process

No matter which kind of industrial or commercial floor coating you choose, you’ll want to be sure it’s properly installed. Simply applying a coating over your existing floors is a recipe for an expensive failure, since many coatings cannot bond to a surface that is not properly cleaned and prepared.

To prevent your floor coating from blistering or peeling off, you’ll want to make sure whoever you contract to install your floor coating follows all of the steps for preparing the surface the right way. Use the banner below to learn what you should be looking for.
