Loading Dock and Warehouse Floors
DO IT RIGHT, DO IT ONCE! Warehouses and loading
docks are tough environments for flooring.  Bare
concrete has cracks and joints, which combined
with heavy traffic conditions, can cause concrete
spalls and breakage, potholes, low spots, etc.
 This can wreak havoc on the wheels and
suspensions on your material handling equipment
the repairs can run into the tens of thousands of
dollars

Consider the following 3 requirements
5

• The nature of the materials stored in
  the warehouse
• Corrosive liquids, solvents and specialty
  chemicals often demand a floor finish that can
  withstand potential spills, as well as the abuse
  dished out by the handling equipment typically
  used to maneuver containers that hold these kinds
  of materials (This type of area typically
  requires a towelled epoxy or urethane
  resurfacer).
• The aesthetic expectations of the facility
• A warehouse that is routinely part of corporate
  dog and pony shows must sparkle for every new
  visitor, and the floor finish must return to its
  initial luster upon regular cleaning. The coating
  must also be able to withstand the rigors of that
  frequent cleaning without chipping, undo wear,
  fading or discoloration.
• Cleaning and Maintenance
• The floor coating must retain its essential
  properties in the face of routine maintenance.
  Cleaning and scrubbing, power-sweeping, automated
  buffing, and similar procedures designed to keep
  the operation in top shape can damage the floor
  finish unless it is specifically formulated to
  endure such treatment.

There are two primary warehouse floor
coating systems that are recommended, and each
has its own strengths and weaknesses
7

• Epoxy/Polyurethane hybrid system  Thin Mil
  Coatings
• Epoxy primer coat seals the concrete, and
  provides maximum adhesion and build thickness to
  the system.  Polyurethane topcoat is applied for
  maximum cleanability, gloss retention,
  abrasion,chemical, and slip resistance.
• 1/8 to 1/4 inch Urethane Resurfacer system (trowe
  lled or self leveling)
• This system is highly durable for heavy traffic
  conditions, and provides a permanent solution  
  it has the added benefit of restoring a heavily
  damaged concrete floor, to a smooth condition,
  and providing a vapor barrier for the concrete,
  which is needed in certain circumstances.   An
  epoxy/urethane thin mil coating system is
  typically applied over this, for maximum
  cleanability, gloss retention, abrasion,chemical,
  and slip resistance.
