Shop & Commercial Floor Epoxy in Bowling Green, KY

Shop and commercial floor epoxy covers concrete that takes more abuse than a home garage: rolling carts and forklifts, dropped tools, oil and coolant, constant foot traffic. Bowling Green has a big manufacturing base for a city its size. Wikipedia lists GM's Corvette plant, BG Metalforming, auto suppliers, aluminum, apparel and a battery plant among its employers. Around that are hundreds of smaller shops, fabricators, auto repair bays, storage buildings and retail spaces, all with concrete floors that need protection.

Heavier systems for heavier use

Commercial floors usually get a thicker, 100% solids epoxy. HomeAdvisor lists industrial 100% solids coatings at $12 or more per square foot and notes that high-traffic grades add 20% to 30%. Depending on the use we may build the floor with multiple base coats, add a quartz or flake broadcast for texture, or finish with a chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic topcoat. We match the system to what actually happens on your floor, so tell us about the forklifts, the solvents and the floor drains.

Restaurants and food service

A common question is whether epoxy flooring is good for restaurants. Resin floors are seamless and have no grout lines to trap grease, and a textured topcoat improves traction. Hot kitchen lines are another matter. Boiling water, steam cleaning and hot oil can be hard on standard epoxy. For those areas we discuss heavier, heat-tolerant systems. Dining rooms, restrooms, storage and walk-in areas are usually straightforward.

Working around your schedule

Most businesses can't shut down for a week. We can phase a floor in sections, work evenings or weekends where possible, and use faster-curing products to cut downtime. We give you a written schedule up front so you can plan around it.

Oil-soaked and old floors

Shop floors often have years of oil, coolant and old paint in the concrete. Oil that has soaked deep can keep bleeding back up and break the bond. We grind, degrease and test those areas, and we tell you at the estimate if a section needs extra treatment or patching.

Slab movement in commercial buildings

Large slabs here sit on the same clay and limestone as homes, and joints and cracks in commercial floors see heavy loads crossing them. We fill stable cracks and can honor working joints so they keep doing their job under the coating.
