The finest way to preserve concrete surfaces is to overlay them with epoxy flooring. Garages are a usual space for epoxy topcoats, primarily to keep the concrete from tire marks and oil stains. One of the biggest garage spaces is in fact an aircraft hangar! The larger the space, the more important it is to have an experienced and qualified installer, like the crew at West Coast Epoxy in Folsom.
Epoxy Flooring — Favored by Pilots
When you inquire about what pilots prefer for coating their hangar floors, epoxy coatings are continuously mentioned. Hot tires stick to concrete, but not epoxy flooring. Mechanical work causes drips and stains, but not on epoxy coated concrete. Says one pilot: “I have had an epoxy floor in my hangar going on 9 years now and it still looks new.”
Why Add Epoxy Coatings for Hangars
Considering most hangars are quite big, providing enough lighting is a challenge. Lights are placed at a high elevation to accommodate space for airplanes, while the planes themselves cast strong shadows. Epoxy coats help fix these issues with their excellent reflectivity, directing all available light upwards to upgrade visibility in the work location.
Hangars are also substantially improved by implanting safety markings and positioning lines right into the floor surface. This makes certain such instructive markers remain enduring and easy to see. A variety of bright and eye-catching colors are available to ensure your hangar space is as secure and effectively used as possible. West Coast Epoxy also offers the ever critical option of adding a non-slip coating to your epoxy floor coverings. That way, bad weather will not compromise the traction in your hangar space.
You want your hangar space to look just as beautiful as your airplane! Epoxy coats go a long way towards creating the style you desire, with color-matching selections to match your needs.
