What goes into an industrial floor coating?

An industrial floor coating is several layers of resin bonded to the slab. The concrete is ground, a primer is rolled that fuses into it, an industrial-grade epoxy base coat is built up, and a clear topcoat seals the surface. Together they make one seamless, non-porous floor that is part of the slab rather than a layer sitting on it.

We install it in the Franklin Park buildings that move freight: warehousing, cross-dock and logistics buildings, distribution centers, and the yards and transport businesses around them. It is made for floors where forklifts, pallet trucks and trailers run all day.

The finished floor is hard, smooth and bright, it does not shed dust onto stock, and tire marks and spills clean off it. Warehouse and industrial floors we have coated are on our gallery.

Why distribution buildings choose a coated slab

The alternative is usually bare concrete, and bare concrete in a busy warehouse wears fast. It dusts under constant wheels, it stains wherever a truck or forklift leaks, salt and water come in off the apron and break up the surface by the doors, and the joints chip until every pallet truck bangs across them. Floor paint wears through in the traffic lanes within a season.

A coating is laid on the slab already in the building, after it is ground and repaired. Nothing is broken out and no new concrete is poured, which is why it is the realistic way to renew a distribution floor that cannot be emptied for long.

It also lets the floor be specified to the traffic. High-build where the forklifts concentrate, solid color across the general floor, and grind and seal in dry stores. Fast turnaround and minimal downtime are a big part of why a building that ships every day picks it.

What the coating gives a building that ships every day

Built for forklifts and heavy loads. Industrial-grade epoxy resists abrasion, impact, heavy loads and hot tire pick-up, the wear that grinds bare concrete down where trucks turn and brake. It also resists oil, hydraulic fluid and road salt, so leaks and slush tracked in from the yard stay on the surface.

Less dust, easier cleaning. The coating seals the slab, so it stops putting fine dust onto racking, packaging and stock. The surface is seamless and non-porous, so a ride-on scrubber cleans it in one pass, with no stripping and no waxing.

Brighter and safer to work on. A light coated floor reflects the lighting and makes a large building easier to see in, and spills and debris show up against it. An anti-slip additive can be broadcast into the topcoat by the doors, where the floor gets wet.

Choosing the right finish for forklift and dock traffic

High-build epoxy. A heavier build of epoxy for the floor that takes the most punishment: the routes in from the doors, turning areas, staging lanes and anywhere forklift traffic and chemical duty are constant. Because it costs more, it goes where the traffic is rather than across the whole building.

Solid color epoxy. The general floor in most distribution buildings. A uniform color under a clear topcoat that is hard-wearing, easy to clean and easy to see on, and it can carry safety markings as an option.

Grind and seal. The slab ground back to clean concrete and closed with a clear sealer, with no coating built up. It stops a dry store or a mezzanine floor from dusting and soaking up spills, and it keeps the concrete's own look at a lower cost.

Surface preparation, joints and dock edges

Mechanical grinding comes first on every floor. Diamond grinders remove old paint and coatings, tire marks, oil, laitance and contamination and open the concrete so the primer can key into it. The worn, salt-damaged concrete by the doors is ground back to sound slab before anything is laid.

Cracks, holes and spalls are opened out, cleaned and filled flush, as are the holes left where racking or barriers were anchored and then moved. Joints are cleaned and treated so the edges stop breaking up and forklift wheels roll over them rather than into them.

The coating is finished cleanly at the dock edges and roller doors so water and salt from outside cannot get under it, and the grind runs to the walls and columns for a continuous floor. A cove at the wall is an option where floors are washed down.

How each coat is applied

A primer goes on first and fuses into the ground concrete. That bond holds every layer above it to the slab, and it is why a coating laid this way does not peel under forklift tires.

Next comes the pigmented epoxy base coat, laid thicker in the high-build areas and at standard thickness elsewhere, with a second coat of color on solid color floors. Grind and seal skips the coating stage: the clear sealer is applied to the cleaned slab in its place.

The final layer on every coated floor is a clear, industrial-grade topcoat. It takes the wheels, the salt and the scrubbing, and it is the layer an anti-slip additive is broadcast into where one is needed.

Logistics and freight floors in Franklin Park

Franklin Park is freight and distribution country: warehousing, cross-dock and logistics buildings close to the airport and the rail corridor, where traffic through a building is heavier and more constant than in a general industrial unit. Older warehousing here has often had its floors patched more than once. We coat warehouse and distribution floors across Franklin Park and the neighboring Cook and DuPage County suburbs.

We work from our shop in Roselle with our own installers, not subcontracted labor. We are licensed and insured, the company is veteran owned and locally operated, and the people who look at your floor are the people who lay it.
