Built for Demanding Environments

Industrial and Manufacturing Epoxy Flooring

Heavily used spaces, such as manufacturing facilities, demand strong floors that stand up to daily usage. Additionally, there are few options that make the most sense for industrial concrete flooring in Denver and the surrounding area, often depending on your specific application. Below are plant flooring options for manufacturing, factory, and industrial facilities we consider to be the best.
Manufacturing plants harbor plenty of challenging elements when it comes to selecting the right floor. In other words, heavy machinery, power wash cleanings, tool or heavy item drops and constant foot and machine traffic can all be present. These all pose damaging use to commercial industrial epoxy flooring.

Because of this, industrial buildings demand an easy to clean, slip resistant flooring protected from heat and liquids.

Urethane Cement Flooring for Warehouses

Manufacturing facilities buildings need durable industrial and factory floor coating systems. Urethane cement is the best, high performance solution. In other words, urethane cement flooring provides protection and longevity in heavy traffic, demanding workplaces such as an industrial facilities.

Polished Concrete

Polished concrete is another attractive option for spaces where appearance is the priority. In short, concrete can be polished from a dull shine to a highly reflective surface.

Epoxy Flooring for Warehouses

A less demanding factory plant can select epoxy flooring systems. Multiple layers of epoxy are applied on top of an existing, prepared concrete slab making for a quick installation process. Additionally, epoxy can be combined with a wide range of colorful quartz sand and vinyl chips for a more aesthetic look.

Epoxy Resin Flooring

Epoxy floor coatings are another popular flooring material. However, it requires more maintenance that urethane cement. This aesthetically pleasing option is a quicker, simpler, and more affordable option for factory facilities.

Factory epoxy flooring offers lower durability, heat resistance, and certain chemical resistance compared against urethane cement. There are a multitude of coating options from quartz, flake, metallic, and ESD epoxy.

Epoxy resin is less durable and can therefore suffer damage from large machines, tool drops and high temperature liquids.

Nevertheless, some warehouses do not have such challenging environments and epoxy can be perfect for an industrial floor coating.

Where extreme durability is not required, epoxy floors are a great choice. Moreover, epoxy is a great floor solution for front end spaces.

Accident Resistant

A combination of quartz sand or vinyl chips is mixed to the final coating to give the surface texture. This leaves the factory floor epoxy coating with a non slip surface

Quick to Install

Installing epoxy can be fast and seamless if done correctly. However, the more demanding the environment the more floor repairs or replacements.

Low Cost

Epoxy is the most affordable flooring option we offer apart from sealed concrete. Epoxy flooring is the better option unless you need something to handle more demanding flooring. Furthermore, epoxy is a great option for public areas if there are mixed spaces requiring different flooring types.

Final Appearance

A high quality quartz epoxy floor coating should have an “orange peel” texture. It should not be sharp, with aggregate sticking out (unless specifically called for in applications where intense non-slip qualities are needed and embedded exposed sand or even ground aluminum is required). The grout coat and the top coat cover the quartz so the surface is mostly smooth “orange peel” texture but with plenty of slip resistance characteristics as well.

Urethane Cement Flooring

Urethane Cement is the best choice for the most demanding manufacturing floor applications. It’s durable, heat and chemical resistant and stands up to all kinds of abuse.

Here’s why Urethane cement works:

Long-Lasting

Urethane cement floors give your facility flooring abrasion resistance and durability

Thermal Shock Stability

Urethane cement can withstand power washing and won’t wear when exposed to heat.

Chemical Resistant

The integrity of urethane cement will not be affected by many types of chemical exposure.

Non-Slip

A textured coating of quartz sand gives the urethane cement a slip resistant surface

Non-Porous

Urethane cement floors are installed over a concrete slab along with an optional 4″ or 6″ cove. The non-porous surface stops debris and bacteria from growing in gaps or cracks.

Odorless

The installation of a urethane cement flooring system is a virtually odorless process.

USDA Approved

The bacteria resistant elements of urethane cement pass all USDA requirements.

Polished Concrete Flooring

Polished concrete can be an effective solution for a less demanding building with industrial and factory floor coating that requires basic functionality. We grind, clean and seal concrete floors using vacuum diamond grinding equipment.

Densifying and sealing the concrete provides a clean, attractive hard surface at the lowest price point. Sealed concrete does not hold up to stains and damage as well as urethane cement.

You can save on grinding costs if the concrete is newly poured or in otherwise good condition. We can simply mechanically clean and seal the concrete as well as patch and repair areas of damaged concrete.

Skid Resistant

Polished concrete is incredibly slip and skid resistant as to avoid accidents in the workplace.

Maintainable and Affordable

All you need to maintain polished concrete floors is a simple, daily mopping with a neutral cleaner and semi annually floor polishing.

Heavy Duty

A densifier is applied to increase concrete’s natural durability. It also makes the concrete polish more easily.
