How to Fix Uneven Floors & Cracks in an Industrial Warehouse
The Problem: Sunken, Cracked Concrete in a 2 Million Sq. Ft. Facility
A concrete refinishing company, Floorworx, faced a major challenge in their 2 million sq. ft. warehouse. A 5,000 sq. ft. section (30 feet wide x 80 feet long) was sunken and cracked, creating a dangerous 3-inch difference between the center and the perimeter. The facility manager needed an industrial-grade epoxy cement repair strong enough to handle forklifts, heavy-duty trucks, and constant traffic; without tearing out the concrete.
Exploring Epoxy & Self-Leveling Solutions
Our customer service team evaluated multiple concrete floor repair products:
- TREFLITE™ - epoxy mortar patch/resurfacer, ideal for patching and resurfacing.
- GARONCLAD™ – flowable epoxy mortar for smoother applications.
- POUR N WALK™ – a self-leveling, ultra-smooth epoxy coating.
- For concerns about lip edges, which are slight raised ridges in concrete, GARONGUARD™ and TIGERSHIELD™ were recommended to lock in edges and prevent future breakage.
Key Considerations for Industrial Floor Repair
The facility required a high-abrasion, impact-resistant coating to withstand dropped items, heavy equipment, and chemical exposure, while maintaining a smooth, level surface for safety and performance.
