The best way to protect concrete surfaces is to protect them with epoxy coatings. Garages are a general space for epoxy coats, principally to save the concrete from tire marks and oil stains. One of the biggest garage spaces is in fact a plane hangar! The larger the space, the more critical it is to have a professional and skilled installer, like the team at West Coast Epoxy in Davis.
Airlines Apply Epoxy Topcoats
Look at images of hangars used by industrial aeronautic organizations, and you will note that they all apply some form of concrete coating to provide a good appearance and ensure that maintenance duties are simpler. While there are multiple different possibilities for hangar floor coverings, as one pilot reported: “Epoxy coats, properly installed, are the ‘Cadillac’ application.” If you want what’s used by the best, you too can choose epoxy coats for your aircraft hangar.
Benefits of Epoxy Coats for Hangars
Considering most hangars are quite big, providing enough lighting is one of the challenges. Lights are installed at a high elevation to allow space for airplanes, while the planes themselves cast noted shadows. Epoxy topcoats help resolve these challenges with their remarkable reflectivity, bouncing all available light upwards to improve visibility in the work location.
Hangars are also considerably enhanced by embedding safety marks and parking lines right into the floor coating. This makes certain such instructional symbols long-lasting and easy to see. A range of bright and eye-catching colors are possible to make sure your hangar space is as secure and efficiently used as possible. West Coast Epoxy also supplies the ever-critical option of adding a non-slip coating to your epoxy floor covering. That way, wet weather will not compromise the traction in your hangar space.
Epoxy topcoats are a flexible and efficient way of protect and beautify your hangar floor. Save time with the application and make a high-grade look by using experienced installers to overlay your hangar floor.
