Resin floor coating for flex and light industrial space

A resin floor coating is a system of layers bonded into the concrete. The slab is ground, a primer that fuses into the concrete is rolled on, an industrial-grade epoxy base coat is laid, and a clear topcoat seals it. The finished floor is one continuous, non-porous surface that is part of the slab, so there is nothing to peel and nowhere for dirt to settle.

It is the floor we install in Itasca's flex and light industrial buildings: suites with a warehouse, an assembly or production area and an office behind one door, light manufacturing, trade counters with storage behind, and small distribution units. It works for a tenant fitting out a unit and for an owner getting a building ready to let.

The coated floor is hard, bright and simple to look after, and because the build can change from one part of the unit to the next, it still reads as one floor. Industrial floors we have coated are on our gallery.

Why multi-tenant units choose a coated floor

Flex units usually come with whatever the last tenant left: bare concrete that dusts, stained patches where a machine stood, and often an old floor paint peeling in the busy areas. Laying vinyl or tile over that is expensive and does not survive pallet trucks, and a fresh coat of paint lasts until the next forklift.

A coating goes onto the slab that is already there. It is ground and repaired, then the system is built straight onto it, with no breaking out, no new concrete and no raised floor to deal with at the doors.

It can also be chosen for each use within the same unit. A high-build coating where the forklifts and chemicals are, solid color across storage and assembly, grind and seal in the office end or the dry stores. For a tenant working to a move-in date, the fast turnaround and minimal downtime matter as much as the floor.

Practical benefits for a building doing three jobs

Tough where the work is. Industrial-grade epoxy resists oils, cleaning chemicals, abrasion, impact and the hot tire pick-up that lifts weaker coatings. Assembly benches, dropped fixings and pallet trucks are all taken by the coating instead of the concrete.

Clean, dust-free and hygienic. Once the slab is sealed it stops dusting, which matters when the warehouse and the office share the same air. The floor is seamless and non-porous, so dirt, water, mold and bacteria cannot get trapped, and cleaning is a mop or a scrubber. The finish is low odor and low VOC.

Looks right for visitors. A light solid color brightens a unit with limited daylight and makes the whole suite look cared for to customers and staff. The topcoat resists yellowing and fading, and an anti-slip additive can go into it where the floor gets wet.

Matching the finish to how each part of the unit is used

Solid color epoxy. A uniform color under a clear topcoat, and the standard choice across storage and assembly areas. It is hard-wearing, it shows anything dropped, and it cleans quickly. Safety markings are available as an option.

High-build epoxy. A thicker epoxy build for the floor that sees forklift traffic and chemical duty: loading doors, the main route through the warehouse end, and any process area where fluids reach the floor. It costs more than a standard build, so it goes only where the duty needs it.

Grind and seal. The slab ground back to clean concrete and sealed with a clear sealer. There is no coating, so the concrete keeps its own look, with the appearance of polished concrete at a lower price. It suits the office end, a showroom or trade counter, and dry stores, and it adds no height at a threshold.

Preparing a slab that previous tenants have used

Every floor is mechanically ground first. Diamond grinders take off old paint and coatings, adhesive from earlier floor coverings, oil, laitance and contamination, and open the pores of the concrete so the primer bonds into it. Areas where a previous tenant's oil soaked in are ground back until the concrete is clean.

Cracks, holes and spalls are opened out, cleaned and filled flush, including the anchor holes from old racking, partitions and machinery. Control joints are treated so the finished floor runs clean across them.

Where an old office floor and the warehouse slab sit at different levels, they are ground and filled to one plane so the coating runs through the doorway without a step. Edges are finished cleanly at walls, doors and columns, and a cove is an option for wash-down areas.

How the coating goes down in a flex unit

We begin with a primer rolled into the ground concrete, where it fuses with the slab. Everything else is built on that bond, which is what keeps the floor from peeling.

The pigmented epoxy base coat goes on next, laid heavier where the high-build is specified and at standard thickness elsewhere, and solid color floors get a second coat of color. Where an area is ground and sealed, there is no coating stage: the clear sealer goes onto the clean concrete instead.

A clear, industrial-grade topcoat finishes the coated areas. It is the wear layer that takes the traffic and the cleaning, and it keeps the color even from the warehouse door to the office.

Flex and business-park floors around Itasca

Most of the industrial space in Itasca is multi-tenant flex and light industrial units in business parks near the airport corridor, suites combining warehouse, assembly and office on slabs that have been fitted out and stripped back several times. That mix is why a coated floor, with the build chosen for each area, suits the town so well. We coat floors across Itasca and the neighboring DuPage suburbs.

Our shop is in Roselle, close by, and our own installers do the work. We are licensed and insured, and the people who come out to look at your unit are the people who will coat it.
