The ideal way to preserve concrete surfaces is to protect them with epoxy flooring. Garages are a general location for epoxy coats, primarily to save the concrete from oil stains and tire marks. One of the hugest garage spaces is actually an airplane hangar! The larger the space, the more important it is to have a professional and skilled installer, like the staff at West Coast Epoxy in Fair Oaks.
Epoxy Coatings — Preferred by Aviators
When you research what aviators prefer for covering their hangar floors, epoxy coats are continuously mentioned. Hot tires attach to concrete, but not epoxy coatings. Engine work causes drips and stains, but not on epoxy coated concrete. Reports one pilot: “I have had an epoxy floor in my hangar going on 9 years now and it still looks new.”
Why Request Epoxy Flooring for Hangars
The larger the hanger, the more difficult it is to maintain enough lighting for nighttime work. And since a lot of work takes place beneath the plane, ceiling lighting is often shadowed by the plane itself. Epoxy coats provide noted light reflection, making it easier to illuminate the working spaces in a hangar.
Another advantage to epoxy topcoats is the ability to embed positioning lines and safety markings right into the floor covering. That way, you don’t need to worry about paint getting scraped and faded, or surface applications losing adhesion over time. A well-defined hangar is a safer and more effective workspace, and epoxy topcoats support both of those qualities. And if you’re concerned about friction when the hangar floor is greasy or wet, ask for non-slip compliments be combined in your epoxy topcoat.
Epoxy coats are a flexible and productive way to beautify and protect your hangar floor. Save time with the application and finish a quality look by trusting skilled installers to cover your hangar concrete.
