Factory Floor Coatings and Painting

A coated factory or warehouse floor is easier to clean, more resistant to contamination, and significantly more durable than bare concrete. It also looks better — improved light reflection, a consistent finish, and a working environment that presents well to staff, visitors, and potential tenants or buyers.

Whether a facility is being refurbished between tenants, prepared for sale or lease, or simply due for an upgrade after years of industrial use, a fresh floor coating transforms the space at a fraction of the cost of floor replacement.

The condition of the floor before coating is applied determines everything — proper cleaning and surface preparation is what separates a coating that lasts from one that fails within months.

Every job is assessed individually. The type of coating, the preparation required, and the application approach all depend on the floor condition, the contamination present, and the operational demands the coating needs to meet.

Floor cleaning and decontamination
The floor is professionally cleaned before any coating is applied — oil, grease, dirt, bird droppings, and flaking existing coatings are all removed. The floor must be free of contamination for the new coating to adhere properly. A coating applied over a contaminated or poorly prepared surface will fail regardless of the product used.

Crack and chip repair
Cracks, chips, and low spots are professionally filled and levelled before coating begins. This ensures a consistent surface for the coating and prevents ongoing deterioration of the substrate beneath.

Adhesion testing
Test patches are conducted and adhesion levels measured before full application begins — confirming the surface is properly prepared and the coating will perform as required.

Coating application
Coatings are applied via brush, roller, and spray in a wet-on-wet cross-hatched pattern, ensuring even coat thickness and consistent sheen across the entire floor area. The coating selected is matched to the type of floor and the level of traffic, cleaning solution exposure, and operational punishment it will need to withstand.

Epoxy coatings
Hard-wearing, cleaning solution-resistant. Suitable for high-traffic areas.

Polyurethane coatings
Suitable for areas exposed to sunlight or temperature variation, and environments where some surface flex is required.

Enamel coatings
Durable finish is required without the full performance demands of epoxy or polyurethane.

Acrylic coatings
Faster drying times and easier application make acrylics a practical option for lower-traffic areas.

Tenant changeover
When a tenant vacates, a fresh floor coating removes the wear and contamination from the previous occupancy and presents the facility in the best possible condition for the next user. A clean, freshly coated floor signals a well-maintained asset and makes the space significantly more appealing to prospective tenants.

Before recommissioning
For facilities being retooled or brought back into production after a period of inactivity, a fresh floor coating provides a clean starting point — easier to maintain, more hygienic, and better suited to a productive working environment.

Ongoing maintenance
For operating facilities where the existing coating is wearing or contamination is building up faster than routine cleaning can manage, recoating at the right interval extends the life of the floor and keeps it in a consistently clean and safe condition.
