As a business owner, protecting your business is one of your top priorities. This means protecting the company from possible safety issues and liability concerns, as well as protecting your physical assets.
One of the biggest assets that any business owner needs to protect is an industrial or commercial building. This is true if it is a warehouse or even a hanger or garage as well as if it is a production, manufacturing or fabrication facility. Taking care of each part of the building from the roof to the floor is essential to protect your investment.
Industrial concrete coatings for floors, which are typically an epoxy floor coating, provide some of the most effective protection at a very reasonable price. They are also ideal for increasing worker safety as well as limiting any issues with slips and falls in the workplace.
Protecting Concrete
While there is an aesthetic reason to apply industrial concrete coatings to any building, there is also the need to protect the floor. Concrete is actually a very soft and porous material, which makes it a poor choice for a floor unless it is protected.
With the application of industrial concrete coatings, the floor is sealed. This means that spills, liquids, water and even grease, oil or chemicals cannot directly come in contact with the concrete, preventing damage.
Safety Benefits
In addition to the ease of cleanup of spills, including chemicals or oil and grease, the use of epoxy floor coatings in industrial buildings also increases worker safety. Choosing non-skid and non-slip surfaces on the flooring helps prevent accidents and limits company liability. It also ensures compliance with safety standards.
In addition, the industrial epoxy coating also helps to protect the floor from chipping, cracking and surface damage. It is also a much easier surface to clean, which means lower maintenance costs as well.
