Alabama Commercial and Industrial Floors - Benefits of Industrial/Commercial Epoxy Coatings

By Lifetime Epoxy Expert Guest Author: John Begin

Epoxy coatings are commonly used on concrete flooring in commercial and industrial buildings. They are practical and can be decorative. They can actually be applied to both outdoor and indoor surfaces, although more commonly used indoors. They are perfect floor covering because they are hard, efficient, functional, and durable and can last for years of continuous use.

Epoxy coatings are used to protect new floors, update old floors, provide an attractive finish without the huge costs, and improve the durability of floors. They are usually used in hospitals and laboratories due to their sanitary yet skid-proof qualities. They also require less maintenance.


These coatings may also be used on timber, tiles, and metals. Surfaces treated with epoxy coating are expected to be resistant to acid reaction, dust, solvents, gasoline, grease, alkali, and thawing salts. Because of this, epoxy coatings are favored in industrial and commercial settings. Industrial/commercial epoxy coatings can even increase floor reflectivity by as much as three hundred percent.

High reflectivity is important in businesses because this helps them save money and energy because there is less need for additional lighting fixtures. A brighter workplace also makes employees more comfortable as well as encourages them to be more productive.


Epoxy coatings do not harm the environment either. This makes them favorable to people who are conscious about the environment. The coating also helps create a congenial, dust-free, and healthy work atmosphere. In fact, their levels of toxicity is near zero. Their chemical emissions are low; and in case of an accidental damage, they can be easily repaired.


In addition, Industrial/commercial epoxy coatings offer numerous benefits. They protect the floors against wear and tear, degeneration, damage, and chemical corrosion. They help improve the mechanical and physical properties of the floor. They are also economical as a quality of flooring that is inexpensive to purchase.
They can also withstand heavy foot traffic which is inevitable in industrial and commercial buildings. Each day, crowds of people come in and out of these buildings; so the flooring needs to be strong and sturdy in order to stay functional.


Epoxy coatings are also resistant to water and chemical spills. This makes cleanup easier and faster. Furthermore, they are resistant to fire or flame retardant. They can withstand heat up to two hundred degrees Celsius. This makes them ideal for commercial airline products, explosive production, storage areas, and fire escapes, as well.

A Garage Floor Coating Makes Your Garage Much Safer


By Expert Guest Author: Al Barnes

Attention Huntsville and Madison homeowners! Do you know which area in your house accidents are most likely to occur? A place that most people fail to think of is the garage, but there is a high rate of injuries caused by accidents in this area. How can this happen, you ask? Most of these garage accidents are slips and falls because of the slickness of the concrete garage floor where oil and rain water are mixed. The big concern is the hard concrete which can be very dangerous for anyone who falls. If your head hits the floor, potential serious brain damage can occur. A way to eliminate the danger from this part of your home is by applying a garage floor treatment that has a sealer which also possesses anti-slip properties.


The most popular concrete floor treatment is an epoxy garage floor coating that you can apply during the weekend. Epoxy based coatings can be easily applied and, when they cure, they become very hard and are durable enough to last for several decades. By adding a friction additive after the liquid is rolled out, you can achieve very good footing for those moments when you decide to drive into the garage and your car is dripping with rain water. The epoxy is also capable of shedding any oil and other spills of petroleum products so cleaning up in the future is much easier.


The steps to applying an epoxy are really easy to follow. The first thing to do is to clean the floor using a good detergent and a high quality degreaser to make sure all oil stains are removed. Apply the mixture and then wait for a few minutes so that the degreaser can do its job, and then rinse it off well. Check to see if there are any water beads anywhere in the area. If beading happens, this means that there's some oil left on the surface and you need to apply the mixture to that area again and to scrub harder. If there's no more beading, your next step is to etch the floor using a weak solution of muriatic acid and water and then rinse off the solution. Leave the floor to dry and, if you have a space heater, use this as it helps the floor to dry quickly. It is important that there is no moisture on the floor when you apply the epoxy coating.


The next thing to do is to mix the resin and hardener and roll out the mixture using a nap roller. The coating is applied the way you do with paint. For the best coating results, apply the coating in a 6 feet square area at a time. After you are done rolling the coating, spread out the anti-slip additive casting it like you do when you feed chickens or ducks at the park. Also, you can apply color flecks to add more life and vibrance to your floor.


The curing takes 18 hours before you can walk on the surface again and it takes three days before you can drive your car on it again. Once completely cured, your floor is now tougher and more durable than before. It is also safer and easier to clean up and maintain.


With the help of a garage floor coating your garage can be a much safer area so you should consider applying it on your concrete floor. Slips and falls are one of the main causes of accidents in the home and anything you can do to stop them will make your house safer.
