The optimal way to safeguard concrete surfaces is to cover them with epoxy coatings. Garages are a typical location for epoxy coatings, mostly to save the concrete from tire marks and oil stains. One of the biggest garage spaces is in reality an aircraft hangar! The larger the space, the more critical it is to have an experienced and capable installer, like the team at West Coast Epoxy in San Jose.
Airlines Use Epoxy Topcoats
When you read up on what aviators like for covering their hangar floors, epoxy coatings are consistently mentioned. Hot tires stick to concrete, but not epoxy flooring. Engine work causes drips and blemishes, 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.”
Advantages of Epoxy Topcoats for Hangars
The bigger the hanger, the more difficult it is to maintain enough lighting for night work. And since a lot of work takes place beneath the airplane, ceiling lighting is commonly shaded by the plane itself. Epoxy topcoats provide exceptional light reflection, making it easier to brighten the working locations in a hangar.
Another benefit to epoxy coatings is the ability to embed parking lines and safety markings right into the floor coating. That way, you do not need to worry about paint getting scratched and faded, or surface applications losing adhesion over time. A well-outlined hangar is a safer and more effective workspace, and epoxy coats contribute to both of those qualities. And if you are worried about anti-slip when the hangar floor is slick or wet, ask for non-slip additions be combined in your epoxy topcoat.
Epoxy topcoats are an adaptable and effective way to protect and beautify your hangar floor. Save time with the installation and create a professional look by employing skilled installers to cover your hangar floor.
