Steel Coated Floors specializes in epoxy floor coatings engineered to meet the extreme demands of airplane hangars. Our coatings deliver a durable, chemical-resistant, and visually impressive finish that protects your concrete from the harsh conditions common in aviation environments.
Unlike low-grade floor paints, Steel Coated Epoxy Floors are made from a resin and hardener blend that creates a permanent bond to the concrete. This high-solids, solvent-based system forms a tough, easy-to-clean surface that outperforms water-based or single-part concrete paints.
