Alabama Industrial and Commercial Flooring Solutions

If you are looking for quality commercial epoxy flooring in Alabama, you can stop looking. Lifetime Epoxy Floors is one of Alabama's most trusted names when it comes to commercial, industrial and residential epoxy floor installation . By replacing your old tile flooring, you can easily understand how challenging it could be if you are only thinking of this as a walk in the park. As a matter of fact, the conventional surfacing options such as lime stone, marble, etc. are absolutely difficult to maintain. So, instead of using all those stuff boost another idea and concept of terrazzo. This was actually thought of to generate something, which can easily be modifiable as changing the wall paints. And that specific idea was Epoxy Floors coatings. But if you think that why it is the best for commercial use, then get the idea from the following segment. 1. Strength is an option This kind of terrazzo is just up to 7 times stronger as well as more durable rather than concrete. It ...

By Guest Expert Author: John S Primus Coatings for North Alabama industrial floors are usually designed for use in places with large equipment. These coatings are mainly used in two places: residential garages where trucks and cars are parked, and factories with large machines and high foot traffic. The coatings must be level, durable and impact resistant. Currently there are several industrial floor coating options available to choose from. Types of Industrial Floor Coatings Epoxy This is among the best popular coatings for industrial floors. Industrial epoxies usually cover surfaces which are harder like concrete. They are usually made from plastic based resins that are mixed together so as to make a liquid mixture, which is then spread on the floors and later to dry and form a plastic surface. You may paint the floor and stamp decorative versions on it. However, industrial versions require durable coats which will easily withstand wear. Hybrid Polymer Hybrid polymers r...

By Expert Guest Author: Edward Winslow Attention Huntsville and Madison industrial facility managers and owners. There are very few surfaces that get more wear and tear then the factory or warehouse floor. Traditional concrete industrial floors often present many problems. Due to heavy traffic from forklifts, foot traffic, and the hauling and moving of products and machines, floors often cracked and chipped creating uneven surfaces that could lead to workplace hazards. The old porous cement surfaces were also difficult to keep clean. Today, polyaspartic/polyurea coatings have transformed workplace floors into cleaner, safer surfaces that decrease risks and create a more pleasant environment to work in. Polyaspartic/Polyurea Coatings Fuse onto the Concrete Technological advances developed a purebred polyurea surface. The prime coat actually soaks into the concrete when it is cured, blending it into the concrete surface. This coating becomes part of the concrete, so it will not...

By Expert Guest Author: Bill Naschak Industrial coatings comprise epoxy, phenolic, silicone, and urethane, but increasing demands for performance have ushered in new materials and process advancements in the industrial coatings marketplace. Surfaces subject to abrasive or erosive wear, extreme heat, corrosion, or require dimensional restoration or electrical insulation, as examples, can benefit greatly from high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) type coatings. Developed in the 1980's, this branch of thermal spray coatings brings surface property enhancements that can include: adhesive strength, hardness, and resistance to abrasion or permeation, using a wide range of alloyed metals and ceramic powders transformed into a plasticized state while fed through a high temperature gas stream. Also referred to as "wire flame spray" or the "combustion wire coating process", the process utilizes an oxygen-fuel gas flame for the heat source. Both wire form and solid rod...

By Expert Guest Author: Ann C Smith Attention Huntsville and Madison warehouse managers! Epoxy flooring is a wise choice. While warehouses don't necessarily have to look fashionable and stylish, they need to be clean, organized and professional-looking. They also need to have good flooring. With busy traffic inside warehouses, floor flatness should be very well considered. A good floor profile is very essential to achieve a better flow of movement. If floors are bumpy or have lots of holes in them, however small, they can do heavy damage to equipment. A much recommended type of flooring in warehouses is epoxy flooring. But what exactly are its benefits? First up would be that epoxy flooring is quick to install. You can stop worrying about the downtime needed in its installation because you will not have to extend hours to set it up. Installing epoxy flooring only takes a short time. Because it is quick to install, you save a lot of time and you can start on your operations ...

By Guest Author: D. Siva Kumar Alabama Industries by their very nature require a robust industrial flooring arrangement. In heavy engineering industries, floors may be moved on by forklifts and trucks while in others such as chemical industries, floors may be subject to chemical spillages and the like. In many cases, floors need to have excellent anti-slip properties to ensure the safety of workers and ensure compliance with various regulations. Further, some speciality industries, such as food and beverage industries, require high levels of hygiene and hence the floors must be easy to clean and maintain. Industrial Epoxy Floors basically refers to a substance formed as a result of mixing a resin with a curator (also called as a hardner). When this is done, a rigid material is formed that has extremely good binding and mechanical properties, yet is resistant to chemicals and wear. When this epoxy material is laid out on a floor for a thickness of about 2 mm, the result is called ...
