WAREHOUSE FLOORING

POLYASPARTIC & POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORING SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL STORAGE FACILITIES

POLYASPARTIC & POLISHED CONCRETE WAREHOUSE FLOORS

Flooring at distribution centers and warehouses must be able to endure considerable foot traffic as well as the amount of abuse from forklifts, pallet jacks, and other heavy tools and equipment. Although professional appearance is vital, these surroundings are more about cleanliness, strength, longevity, and functionality than aesthetics.

River City Sealcoating provides both polished concrete and epoxy finishes for warehouse floors. Both are examples of low-cost, secure, and simple-to-manage flooring materials that property owners prefer for their sturdiness, ease of upkeep, and lovely presentation, even under heavy use.

INDUSTRIAL FLOORING OPTIONS FOR WAREHOUSES

The flooring you choose as a warehouse manager will depend on the items kept there and how your daily business is conducted. Warehouses that primarily store dry goods such as clothing, wares, or pre-packaged retail products will have fewer unique concerns in flooring choices compared to a warehouse that stores corrosive chemicals or potentially dangerous liquids. Likewise, a warehouse that stores electronics and various computer goods might require flooring resistant to static electricity that can otherwise damage the goods being stowed away.

Suppose you’re looking for industrial concrete floor polishing or another industrial flooring system that is durable and easy to clean for wares or retail goods, or you need more advanced flooring that can withstand chemical spills or stains. In that case, we have a variety of warehouse flooring solutions that can meet the specifications required by your warehouse. It’s crucial to pick the proper flooring strategy for any warehouse because bare concrete can deteriorate quickly in harsh environments and chemical spills can seep beneath the concrete’s surface to harm the environment.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WAREHOUSE FLOOR

When deciding which concrete flooring option is best for a warehouse or storage facility, there are a number of important factors to take into account. The property owner must think about maintenance, floor coatings to stop chemicals from seeping into the environment, slip-resistance, and various other needs when evaluating different polished concrete or epoxy floor coating options for a warehouse or storage facility. And there’s a lot of space to worry about in a typical warehouse which means pricing & longevity will almost certainly play a role in the decision.

Customer Presentation

Commercial warehouse floors are typically restricted to locations that are off-limits to clients or customers, but this is only sometimes the case! Therefore, warehouse owners must ensure that the flooring is practical for everyday use and appealing for client or customer interaction.

Long Term Maintenance Needs

It’s only sometimes possible or ideal to use flooring systems that require shutting down the warehouse for maintenance. Epoxy coatings and polished concrete require very little maintenance and can last for several years without needing a warehouse to be closed.

Floor Protection Needs

Particular acid-resistant epoxy coatings are required in regions where batteries or other hazardous compounds with an acidic base are present. Standard warehouse concrete floor finishes should reduce the effects of heavy machinery, tire marks from moving vehicles, skids, and damage in loading bays or high-traffic areas. A great deal of potential damage can happen in a warehouse where heavy machinery, pallet jacks, and other vehicles frequently operate, especially if proper care isn’t taken to choose the suitable concrete coating to protect the surface.

Regular Cleaning Needs

Concrete slabs that have not yet been finished are soft and especially vulnerable to dust as the surface wears away. Even frequent cleanings and sweeping will leave a warehouse extremely dusty and unclean. Polished concrete floors are easily cleaned with a dry microfiber dust broom and mopped with warm water unless a more challenging cleaning agent is required to break grease or grime from a spill. A polished concrete floor may need overnight restoration in spots where scratches, tire marks, and other stains appear to restore the floor to its prior beauty.

Slip Resistance & Traction Needs

Some warehouses and storage facilities must adhere to OSHA guidelines to reduce slip and fall injuries. Dry powders should be cleaned up immediately to avoid workplace hazards because they can make polished concrete floors slippery. An epoxy coating may be necessary to cover a warehouse’s chemical spills or wet areas to maintain proper traction and slip resistance in the area and stop the chemical from seeping below the surface. Any warehouse owner should consider these factors when setting up the space for use.

Commercial warehouse flooring can certainly take a beating under standard day-to-day operations, and any downtime required for scheduled maintenance can negatively affect business. That’s why most warehouse owners seek the most economical, long-lasting, durable solution when choosing the right flooring for commercial spaces. Polished concrete is suitable for many warehouse floors, while epoxy coatings are a better choice for others.

WHY CHOOSE POLYASPARTIC FLOORS FOR MY WAREHOUSE?

There are undoubtedly numerous advantages to choosing polished concrete floors or an epoxy coating for a warehouse. A carefully selected epoxy coating appropriate for your warehouse is the best option for high-traffic areas that need additional resistance to chemicals, damage from large equipment, or constant impact & abrasion. Epoxy finishes can:

  • ;Give a concrete surface years of long-lasting protection.
  • ;Withstand heavy equipment traffic, excessive foot traffic, and extensive wear & tear.
  • ;Withstand frequent contact with caustic chemicals and hazardous substances as well as continual abrasion.
  • ;Reduce the number of cracks, crevices, and grout lines that could foster the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew.
  • ;Withstand extremely high temperatures in warehouses where interior conditions are impacted by heat or refrigeration.

WHY CHOOSE POLISHED CONCRETE FOR MY WAREHOUSE

In large industrial warehouses where durability, low maintenance, and an easy-to-clean space are most important, polished concrete flooring may be suitable. The polishing process makes your existing concrete floor more durable when the process is finished. This is the primary reason for many warehouse owners and distribution center managers choose a polished concrete flooring solution for their space.

Another critical factor in choosing polished concrete for a warehouse floor is the lack of maintenance required. Polished concrete floors can withstand heavy foot traffic in a warehouse without showing signs of wear and tear. If floor rejuvenation is required, maintenance can occur overnight or during phases in which the warehouse is never entirely out of commission. A polished concrete surface is ready for continued operations immediately after polishing. There is no extensive cure time or required downtime for maintenance.

POLYASPARTIC & POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS INCREASE SAFETY & SLIP RESISTANCE

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ensures restaurant owners take staff and employee safety seriously in commercial food preparation areas and restaurant settings. The primary focus on safety in dining establishments is to avoid slip-and-fall accidents for restaurant patrons and staff. Compared to most other restaurant flooring options, such as tile, linoleum, vinyl, or unpolished, polished concrete floors are less slick.

Polished concrete floors are incredibly slip-resistant and minimize the potential for slip and fall injuries inside the restaurant setting. Polished concrete floors exceed the high traction specifications set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) regarding slipping resistance, and they all fall within the “conditionally slip-resistant” ranges set by the ADA and OSHA.
