Introduction
Industrial facilities with high-traffic areas like aisleways require specialized floor coatings for durability and safety. In a recent project, an industrial facility needed epoxy coatings applied quickly across 106,000 square feet of floor space. The project included both coating and line striping, all done within a tight 6-day timeframe.
Why Proper Coating and Striping Matter
Coating and striping aisleways helps organize traffic flow, protect the floor from wear, and ensure safety. This is especially important in environments with forklift and heavy machinery traffic, where slip-resistance and clear pathways are essential.
Step-by-Step Guide to Epoxy Floor Coating Installation
- Surface Preparation: Clean and repair the floor, filling deep cracks, joints, and voids using JOINT GUARD™ and GARON POXYPASTE™ for crack filling.
- Apply Epoxy Coating: Start with a base coat of GARONGUARD™, followed by a second coat to achieve the desired thickness for durability.
- Line Striping: For organized pathways, apply TIGERSTRIPE™ epoxy line striping paint to define the aisleways.
- Cure and Inspect: Ensure the coating has cured properly before resuming normal operations.
Challenges and Solutions
During this project, the facility remained operational without any interruption, as the installation team used odor-free materials and dustless preparation equipment, ensuring no interference with the sensitive machinery in the building.
Safety and Efficiency in the Workplace
Properly installed floor coatings and clear aisleway markings help improve workplace safety and efficiency, preventing accidents and ensuring smooth traffic flow. GARONGUARD™, TIGERSTRIPE™, and JOINT GUARD™ products are designed to withstand heavy use while providing lasting protection.
Get your facility's floors ready for anything with quality coatings and strategic striping—an investment that will pay off in safety and efficiency!
