Frequently Asked Questions
Why is epoxy better than standard concrete for a warehouse?
Standard concrete floors are porous and prone to cracking, dusting, and staining under industrial pressure. HPS Flooring provides epoxy systems that create a seamless, non-porous barrier, protecting the concrete from daily operational wear and structural degradation.
Can the floor handle heavy forklift and pallet jack traffic?
Yes. These industrial-grade warehouse floors are built to handle heavy forklift traffic, pallet jack movement, and the impact of dropped items without chipping or peeling. For maximum durability, HPS typically recommends a multi-coat epoxy system consisting of a primer, base coat, and topcoat.
What safety enhancements can be added to warehouse floors?
To maintain a safer environment, HPS Flooring can incorporate anti-slip aggregates or specialized textures, which are especially useful in wet conditions or high-traffic forklift zones. They also offer high-visibility safety markings to help organize the workspace and protect your crew.
How does HPS prevent the epoxy from peeling or failing?
The company emphasizes a meticulous professional installation process to ensure longevity. This includes mechanical surface preparation (grinding or etching) to create a permanent bond, moisture vapor testing to prevent bubbles, and strict environmental controls during the curing process.
Does an epoxy floor help with facility lighting and cleaning?
Yes. The high-gloss, reflective surface of the epoxy can actually improve facility lighting efficiency. Additionally, because the floor is non-porous, dust and debris stay on the surface rather than settling into concrete pores, which reduces wear and tear on your cleaning equipment and lowers long-term maintenance costs.
