When it comes to the floor of your facility or commercial venue it is one that is often overlooked. This is not a good thing because it is one of the most important aspects of your business. Most of the flooring is made out of durable materials like exposed concrete. However, it can still benefit greatly from protective sealing like epoxy floor paint. There are a few signs that you should be aware of, so you know if your flooring needs a coating update.
- Surface wear, this can be caused by abrasion of your floor from heavy traffic or erosion by chemicals or fluids that create cavities or vapor bubbles.
- Poor Structure, this is results from either incorrectly placed reinforcements or poor jointing and can lead to significant floor deterioration.
- Crazing cracks, these are formed by fine particles that penetrate cement and allow water and chemicals to enter your concrete floor. Over time this can cause the integrity of your concrete structure to diminish.
- Salt crystallization, this is built up in the pores of concrete and can result in significant stress on your floor.
- Extreme weather, this can be a major factor when it comes to floors breakdown. Freezing temperatures or moisture from frost or rain can cause floors to expand and then resulting in cracking.
