Commercial Epoxy Flooring

The reason that epoxy is chosen is because, when it is professionally installed by Columbus Epoxy Flooring, it will provide a high-performance, smooth, and durable surface that will last for years while withstanding the wear and tear of commercial usage.

Commercial operations typically involve for human traffic, material handle, heavy traffic and – in many cases - heavy loads being moved in, out, and around a location. This is particularly true with regard to retail settings or commercial office buildings. Owners and operators depend on epoxy floors to maintain clean and safe conditions for workers, equipment, and inventory, while also providing professional appearances for prospective and existing customer tours of their facilities.

Assessing the area may reveal problematic areas:
If the concrete is too damaged, with major holes, gouges or missing pieces, the floor may not be a good candidate for refinishing. As noted, it is possible that various self-leveling materials can be used as part of the preparation.

Vapor transmission is always a potential issue with coating applications. If the amount of vapor transmission is too high, it may be possible to remedy the issue with an epoxy concrete vapor control primer prior to installation. However, a floor with a very high vapor transmission rate or if the slab itself is wet, it is unlikely to be able to receive a successful coating. Wet concrete will not provide the correct adhesion/bond and may cause delamination or total failure if a coating is attempted.

Assessing temperature conditions is important. The temperature/humidity must be suitable, and all other to any product manufacturer's recommendations and must be met before the application can proceed. Very high or low temperatures may cause coatings the epoxy to out gas or bubble along with premature curing and peel while humidity can cause blushing. Low temperatures may cause insufficient leveling, etc..
The final step in Columbus Epoxy Flooring’s preparation is to thoroughly vacuum all the dust and debris from the newly prepared slab so the coating will have a clean and profiled surface for proper adhesion.

Epoxy/Resinous Coatings provide a long-lasting, durable surface that is able to withstand heavy and continuous traffic.
