Industrial floor coating for manufacturing, in plain terms

An industrial floor coating is a resin system built onto the concrete in layers. The slab is ground, a primer is rolled that fuses into the concrete, an industrial-grade epoxy base coat is laid over it, and the floor is sealed under a clear topcoat. The result is one seamless, non-porous surface bonded to the slab, which is why it does not chip and peel the way floor paint does.

It is made for the floors that Elk Grove Village builds and machines things on: production lines, machine shops, fabrication and assembly floors, tool rooms and the stores and dispatch areas that serve them. Anywhere a slab takes oil, coolant, steel and heavy wheels every day, it is the floor we recommend.

What you are left with is a floor that looks deliberate and works hard. Coolant and cutting oil sit on the surface, swarf sweeps up instead of embedding, and the color stays even under the lights. Plant and workshop floors we have finished are on our gallery.

Why a plant floor is coated rather than left bare

A bare plant floor is working against you. The concrete soaks up coolant and cutting oil, stains permanently, and gives off fine cement dust that ends up on machined parts and inside machinery. Floor paint is cheaper on the day, but it lifts at the first hot spill or heavy pallet and has to be done again. Breaking out and re-pouring a production floor is rarely an option at all.

A coating is built on the slab already there. Once it is ground and repaired, the system goes straight onto it, so nothing is demolished and nothing is hauled away. Machine bases, plinths and fixed lines can stay where they are, with the floor finished neatly up to them.

The build is matched to the work. Solid color epoxy across most of the plant, a high-build coating where forklifts and chemicals are constant, and grind and seal in stores or dry areas that only need dust control. It is a fast turnaround with minimal downtime for a plant that has to keep producing.

Benefits on a machine shop and production floor

Resists oil, coolant and impact. Industrial-grade epoxy stands up to oils, coolant, cutting fluids, cleaning chemicals and the abrasion of pallet trucks and carts. Dropped tooling and offcuts that would chip or gouge bare concrete are taken by the coating instead.

Dust control and easier cleaning. Once the slab is sealed under the coating it stops shedding dust, which matters wherever there are precision parts, painted finishes or open bearings. The surface is seamless and non-porous, so oil and dirt have nothing to soak into and a scrubber or a mop does the job.

Brighter, safer and long-lived. A light solid color reflects the lighting and makes a deep production hall easier to work in, and an anti-slip additive can go into the topcoat where floors run wet around machines. Laid on a properly ground slab, the floor can still look good fifteen to twenty years from now.

Solid color, high-build or grind and seal for a plant

Solid color epoxy. A uniform color under a clear topcoat, and the floor most of a plant ends up with. It is hard-wearing, it shows anything dropped or leaked, and it keeps the building looking cared for in front of customers and auditors. Safety markings are available as an option on top of it.

High-build epoxy. A heavier build of industrial-grade epoxy for the places where forklift traffic and chemical duty are part of the job: main transport routes, around coolant-heavy machining centers, washing and degreasing areas and loading points. It costs more per square foot, so it is used where the duty calls for it rather than across the whole floor.

Grind and seal. The concrete is ground back and sealed with a clear sealer, with no coating built up. It keeps the slab's own look, stops it dusting and closes it against spills, and it suits stores, tool cribs and dry assembly areas where the traffic is light.

Preparing a slab that machines have stood on for decades

Grinding is where every floor starts, and on an older plant it does most of the work. Diamond grinders take off old paint and coatings, oil-soaked concrete, adhesive, laitance and contamination, and open the surface so the primer can bond into it. Where coolant has soaked in for years, that area is ground until clean concrete is showing.

Cracks, spalls and holes are opened out, cleaned and filled flush, including the anchor holes and cut-outs left behind when machines were moved or a line was rebuilt. Control joints are treated so they do not break through the finished surface.

The grind runs to the walls, columns and machine plinths so the coating is continuous and has a clean edge to finish against. Old patches at different levels are brought to one plane, and a cove at the wall is an option for wash-down areas.

Building the coating up, coat by coat

The first coat is a primer that fuses into the ground concrete. It is what holds the whole system to the slab, and it is the reason a properly installed coating does not peel under hot spills and heavy wheels.

The pigmented epoxy base coat follows, built thicker in the high-build areas and to standard thickness everywhere else, then a second coat of color on solid color floors. On grind and seal there is no coating: the clear sealer goes straight onto the ground slab instead.

A clear, industrial-grade topcoat finishes every coated floor. It takes the traffic, the coolant and the cleaning, keeps the color even, and is where an anti-slip additive is broadcast when a floor needs one.

Manufacturing floors across Elk Grove Village

Elk Grove Village has one of the largest concentrations of industrial and manufacturing space in the country, and the buildings in it vary. Older manufacturing and machine shop space has slabs that have been cut, patched and coated around equipment many times, while newer distribution and light assembly buildings have bigger, flatter floors with defined traffic routes. Both are the kind of floor an industrial coating is built for, and we work across the village and the neighboring suburbs.

We are based at our shop in Roselle and install with our own crew, not subcontracted labor. The business is owned and operated by a Marine Corps veteran, and we back the work with an extended warranty on our craftsmanship.
