When you are choosing a material for your warehouse floors, there are several options. Concrete is the most practical and popular, due to its durability. With concrete, you also have a choice of several different finishes. Polished concrete and the application of stains or dye make for an attractive surface.
These are popular in educational institutions, office buildings, and retail establishments. However, when you need something that is long-lasting, easy to maintain, and resistant to a wide range of materials, concrete coatings are your best choice.
Concrete Coatings are Long-lasting.
In a warehouse setting, you need a flooring solution on which you can rely. Your floors see plenty of foot traffic and come in contact with machinery. Regular use of heavy equipment like forklifts, carts, and pallet jacks can easily damage surfaces that are not properly protected.
The addition of concrete coatings will make sure that your floors are strong against everyday traffic. Industrial concrete solutions can help your warehouse floors last for decades.
Concrete will last for centuries and concrete coatings will reduce the need for repairs by protecting against wear and tear. As an added bonus, this makes concrete coatings and environmentally-friendly choice when compared to alternatives that need regular replacement. If your business is looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint, this is a viable option.
Concrete Coatings are Easy to Maintain.
Your warehouse needs a simple solution for cleaning and maintenance. Concrete coatings are easy to care for and generally can be cleaned with only a damp mop.
For areas of higher traffic, you may choose an all-purpose cleaner or soap to remove scuffs and clean spills easily. In some places, a coat of wax applied regularly can be beneficial. The cleaning supplied that are most appropriate will depend on the type of coating, so be sure to consider this in the planning process.
In the event that damage does occur, repairing a small crack or chip is a straightforward process. The floor can be cleaned, the surface filled, and a fresh concrete coating applied.
Repairs can be made quickly and need only to be done in the specific damage area. This allows for business elsewhere to carry on as usual without too much interruption. When floors are badly damaged and need replacing, it can be time-consuming and affect your productivity.
Concrete Coatings are Resistant.
No matter the industry in which your business operates, there is a concrete coating solution that can protect your floors. Coatings can be resistant to water damage, chemicals, biological hazards, and thermal shock. They can be slip-resistant, ensuring safety for everyone. Workplace injuries can be all too common when your floors are not well-maintained. If your facility works in a field that has specific standards, such as in the medical or food service industries, those requirements can be met.
Modern technology has made concrete a highly-desirable material for floors in businesses, warehouses, and even homes. It can be quite attractive and is impervious to most sources of damage.
Initial costs are relatively low, and it is important to consider the cost of future maintenance when comparing with other materials that may not be as hardy. At ICS, the professional contractors have spent over two decades perfecting the installation and maintenance methods.
