When you invest in the materials and labor to install a new industrial floor coating for your factory, warehouse, or commercial space, the last thing you want is for that coating to peel up, bubble, or otherwise fail you.

Here are four steps for choosing the right industrial floor coating:

Consider the demands of your work environment

Depending on your industry, your floors may take serious abuse over the years. Consider the daily stresses your floors take, which may include:

When you spend the time and money to have an epoxy or urethane floor coating installed at your facility, you expect it to work well and last for years to come. So the last thing you want to see just a few weeks after the process is done is widespread bubbles or blisters in the surface of the coating!

Unfortunately, the formation of blisters and bubbles in an industrial floor coating is a fairly common problem. Below we’ll look at the causes and find out how to prevent these issues.

Do your newly coated floors already look foggy or scratched? Even in high-traffic areas your floors should be able last more than just a couple of months before looking worn down. When dealing with premature coating failures, there are three questions we need to ask. What went wrong, what is causing the coating failure, and what exactly can be done to fix it?

Every industry has different needs when it comes to operating safely and efficiently. The floor coatings industry is no exception. It can be all too easy to leave well enough alone and allow your floors to slowly deteriorate, turning small repair or maintenance needs into big ones and risking injury and an unsafe work environment. This kind of neglect may end up causing large problems that require major and costly solutions.
