Commercial & Shop Floor Epoxy in Daytona Beach, FL

Commercial and shop floor epoxy covers the concrete floors businesses depend on. Daytona Beach has a busy mix. Wikipedia notes the city draws over 8 million tourists a year, which keeps restaurants, hotels and retail open long hours. NASCAR is headquartered in the city, Daytona International Speedway has run the Daytona 500 since 1959, and Bike Week and Biketoberfest bring motorcycles to town every year. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has trained pilots at the airport since 1965. That adds up to kitchens, auto and motorcycle shops, hangars, storage and warehouse space, all on concrete.

What commercial floors need

A commercial floor takes more than a home garage. It sees forklifts and pallet jacks, rolling tool chests, dropped parts, hot oil, brake fluid, cleaning chemicals and constant foot traffic. HomeAdvisor lists commercial and industrial 100% solids coatings at $12 or more per square foot, and both This Old House and HomeAdvisor say high-grade coatings for heavy-use areas add about 20% to 30% to the cost. We match the system to the load, not to a price list.

Systems we install

• 100% solids epoxy: thick, hard and chemical resistant. The standard for shops and warehouses.
• Epoxy with a polyaspartic or urethane topcoat: adds abrasion and UV resistance for floors near open bay doors.
• Flake broadcast systems: texture and dirt hiding for sales floors, offices, gyms and retail floors.
• Anti-slip textured finishes: grit added for wet areas such as kitchens, wash bays and walk-in coolers.
• Line striping and safety marking: walkways, parking lines and work zones coated into the floor.

Shops and garages

Auto and motorcycle shops spill oil, coolant and brake fluid, and they drag jacks and stands across the floor. Bare concrete soaks it all up. A sealed resin floor keeps spills on the surface for quick cleanup, reflects light so bays are brighter, and makes it easier to find dropped bolts. We degrease and grind oil-soaked slabs thoroughly before coating, because oil left in the concrete is the most common reason shop floors peel.

Restaurants and food service

Kitchens need floors that are seamless, washable and slip resistant when wet. We use textured systems with coved bases where the floor meets the wall, so water and grime have nowhere to collect. Your local health inspector sets the rules for your space, so we ask what has been required before we specify a finish.

Hangars and warehouses

Large, open floors near the airport and in industrial areas see heavy rolling loads, fuel and hydraulic fluid. We use thick, chemical-resistant systems with a topcoat suited to the traffic. Big bay doors let sun and humidity in, so we plan coats around the weather and use UV-stable topcoats near the doors.

Working around your schedule

Downtime costs money. We stage large jobs in sections, work nights or weekends when needed, and use fast-curing polyaspartic topcoats where a quick return to service matters. We give you the schedule in writing, including when each area can take foot traffic and when it can take wheels.

Moisture and old slabs

Many commercial slabs in the area are decades old and some sit on sandy, wet ground. We test for moisture, check for old sealers and coatings, and look at cracks and joints before we price the job. Where moisture is high, we use a moisture-tolerant primer or tell you what needs to happen first.
