When it comes to industrial metal finishing, our epoxy floor coating company has years of experience completing flooring projects successfully. Here’s your guide to advanced floor coating and reasons to hire steel-coated floors.
Steel-Coated Floors – An Advanced Solution
Steel-coated flooring is an advanced solution that helps save time and money and creates a smooth surface to prevent cracking and improve clarity. With this type of coating, you can rest assured that your business equipment will remain protected and have an extended life span while ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
If you’re planning a renovation project for your industrial or commercial facility, you may be confused about whether you should install new flooring or opt for epoxy coating on the existing one. You can find epoxy steel coating in hotels, garages, warehouses, schools, hospitals, and other industries where long-lasting, durable flooring is an essential requirement.
Composition of Epoxy Floor Coating
Epoxy floor coating commonly contains a combination of hardeners and polymer resins. When mixed properly, both substances develop a chemical bond to produce a durable coating for improved functionality in several applications. Epoxy steel coating is designed for concrete floors to give a seamless, strong surface.
Long-Term Protection
Metal and concrete flooring are harder than other types of floors but not indestructible. Constant foot traffic and frequent use of heavy machinery and equipment often result in surface-level damage like excessive cracking or spalling and even structural damage.
Epoxy steel coating creates a protective layer and serves as a solid barrier from chemical and physical damage. Epoxy steel coating offers surface flexibility and is designed to absorb harsh impacts and distribute forces that can damage the flooring. This results in less breakage and improved workplace safety because of the undamaged floor. 
Simple Maintenance
Cleaning spills and sweeping debris, and dusting off an untreated concrete surface can be a tedious task. Concrete is porous, which means that it can absorb chemicals, oil, and grease before you try to remove them. Frequent exposure to these substances can also saturate these spaces, leading to tough stains, bacterial growth, and unpleasant odors.
An epoxy steel coating prevents this from happening by keeping these contaminants on the surface. The non-porous and spill-resistant surface makes it easier to clean solids, chemicals, oils, and liquids by conventional means. This means you won’t have to hire extra labor or spend additional expenses for deep cleaning your floor multiple times a year.
Special Considerations for Epoxy Steel Coating
Though epoxy steel coating offers several benefits, you must pay close attention to special considerations to get the installation right the first time. Steel epoxy floor coating is wet and slippery for a few hours after installation.
A steel epoxy floor coating can produce a chemical odor while drying. These vapors can be harmful, so make sure it’s not surrounded by people until it is completely dry. But its off-gassing won’t last as long as other types of flooring solutions.
Epoxy steel coating requires a longer period than other flooring options. You can find epoxies that take less than 24-–72 hours from application to cure. This ensures all operations quickly return to service, preventing business downtime. According to expert flooring contractors, you must wait for the flooring to cure before reopening it for regular tasks and activities.
For effective installation, epoxy flooring requires under-flooring made from steel, wood, concrete, or cement. Though installing a floor underneath will cost you more, it’s cheaper than ripping up the existing floor.
When it comes to cleaning, remember that soap-based cleaners form a cloudy discoloration. To prevent this from damaging your steel-coated epoxy floors, you can use a mixture of ammonia and water. Professional epoxy flooring contractors recommend never using vinegar or citrus-based cleaners because they can deteriorate the floor over time.
Need A Steel Coated Floor? We Have Got You Covered
Various factors contribute to the damage caused to concrete floors. Luckily, there is a reliable way to protect it. At Steel Coated Epoxy Floors, we recommend you opt for a steel coated floor. Compared to regular floor paints and coverings that can only make the business facility or home look good, we offer epoxy floor coating made of hardener and resin to help make a space look great and increase its longevity.
Many business owners regret their decision to have carpet installed in their offices because it can quickly become soiled and requires a tedious cleaning regime. On the other hand, steel-coated flooring looks new for many years. Dust, spills, and other tough stains are easier to clean on a steel-coated floor.
We also specialize in residential and commercial epoxy floor coating in Draper, Layton, Prescott, and Las Vegas.
