How to Prepare Your Building’s Floors for Coating

June 01, 2019

Commercial and industrial buildings are exposed to heavy traffic and at risk of damage from chemical spills, impact, abrasion, heavy machinery, and more. That’s why it’s important to protect your floors by coating and sealing them. However, before this can be done, the surface needs preparation. The following are types of surface prep that commercial properties might need to do:

• Any new slabs of concrete installed should be allowed to cure for 30-60 days before any coating or sealing takes place.
• Old sealer should be shot-blasted and removed thoroughly before new sealer is applied.
• All previous paint or other floor coatings need removal before any new epoxy coating is applied.
• Address any moisture problems before applying epoxy coating.

Precise surface preparation is important because nearly 80% of coating jobs fail due to poor floor preparation.
