The perfect way to maintain concrete floors is to protect them with epoxy coatings. Garages are a usual location for epoxy topcoats, mostly to keep the concrete from oil stains and tire marks. One of the largest garage spaces is in fact an airplane hangar! The larger the space, the more critical it is to have a qualified and experienced installer, like the staff at West Coast Epoxy in Clayton.
Airlines Apply Epoxy Coatings
Consider images of hangars used by commercial aviation organizations and you will observe that they all implement some manner of concrete coating to give a good appearance and ensure that maintenance duties are simpler. While there are a number of different possibilities for hangar flooring, as one pilot stated: “Epoxy coats, properly installed, are the ‘Cadillac’ application.” If you want what is used by the best, you too can choose epoxy coatings for your plane hangar.
Advantages of Epoxy Topcoats for Hangars
The larger the hanger, the more tedious it is to maintain enough lighting for overnight work. And since nearly all of the work takes place underneath the aircraft, ceiling lighting is often obscured by the plane itself. Epoxy coats provide exceptional light reflection, making it easier to lighten the working spaces in a hangar.
Another advantage to epoxy coatings is the ability to embed positioning lines and safety markings right into the floor coating. That way, you don’t need to worry about paint getting scraped and dulled, or surface applications losing grip over time. A well-delineated hangar is a safer and more effective work space, and epoxy coats have both of those qualities. And if you are worried about anti-slip when the hangar floor is slick or wet, ask for non-slip additives be included in your epoxy topcoat.
You no doubt want your hangar space to look just as beautiful as your aircraft! Epoxy coatings contribute to creating the appearance you want, with color-matching choices to equal your needs.
