Repairing Warehouse Floors
Keeping warehouse floors in top shape is essential for safety, efficiency, and a professional appearance. If your concrete flooring is showing signs of wear—cracking, pitting, or surface dusting—there’s a fast and effective way to bring it back to life. Follow this step-by-step guide to repair worn-out warehouse floors using MORTARTHANE™ SL, a self-leveling urethane concrete system designed for heavy-duty environments.
Step By Step Guide:
- Inspect and Prep the Surface
Start by thoroughly inspecting the entire warehouse floor. Look for cracks, chips, oil stains, or areas of delamination. Use a mechanical grinder or shot blaster to remove loose material and open up the surface. Clean the floor thoroughly to eliminate dust, grease, and debris that could interfere with adhesion. - Prime for Stronger Bonding
For best results, apply a primer specifically formulated for concrete. This ensures MORTARTHANE™ SL bonds tightly and resists future delamination. Allow the primer to cure based on the manufacturer’s recommended time before moving to the next step. - Mix and Apply MORTARTHANE™ SL
Follow the mixing instructions for MORTARTHANE™ SL closely. Combine all components and mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency. Pour the mixture onto the floor and use a gauge rake or smoothing tool to spread evenly. It will self-level, creating a seamless, durable finish ideal for high-traffic industrial spaces. - Allow to Cure
Let the surface cure as directed. In most cases, Mortarthane™ SL is ready for light traffic within 24 hours and full service in just a few days, making it a great choice for busy warehouses with minimal downtime.
Build to Last, Ready for Action
Reviving your worn-out warehouse floor doesn’t have to be a time-consuming project. With the right tools and MORTARTHANE™ SL, you can restore durability and performance quickly and efficiently. A safer, smoother, and longer-lasting floor is just a few steps away.
