Warehouse floor coatings

Yes, with quartz or mortar at the right thickness for your wheel loads and turns. Thin paint and residential flake fail at aisle corners. We spec build to the trucks you actually run in Metro Detroit, including hard wheels. If the slab is rotten at the joints, we repair first. A pretty film on a failing joint is not a warehouse floor.

We phase by aisle or zone, work off-shifts, and use fast-cure polyaspartic where the schedule demands it. You set which pick paths stay live. Full-building shutdowns are rare and planned. Most Metro Detroit warehouses never lose the whole floor at once. The phasing plan is on the quote, not a surprise on night one.

Yes. Spalls and failing joint edges get repaired. Moving joints get flexible detail so traffic does not reopen them. Coating over a live joint is how warehouse floors split in the first winter. You will see joint work as a line item. Honesty here is cheaper than a callback in January.

Yes. Pedestrian paths, staging boxes, and safety yellows go in with the coating plan. Striping after a random paint job never quite matches. We lay out aisles with your ops lead before we grind. Changes after broadcast cost more, so we lock the layout first.

Salt stays on a sealed surface instead of soaking the slab. Docks and first aisles still take the most abuse, and we can spec heavier build there. Peel is a prep miss or a joint skip, not Michigan weather by itself. We neutralize brine in prep. Care is still sweeping and mopping, not ignoring ponded salt all winter.

Light traffic is often next day on polyaspartic. Loaded racks and hard-wheel turns wait on the cure window we write down. Cool buildings run slower. We would rather hold a zone overnight than crater a green floor. That window is on the quote so ops can plan slots.

Only if it is bonded. Failed coatings come off. We test adhesion and tell you whether we grind through or stop. Overlaying a peeling warehouse floor is how the next film fails at the first forklift turn. Metro Detroit jobs that last started with honest prep, not a cover-up.

No. We coat live buildings by zone. Product in the open aisle has to move. Racks in a closed zone can often stay if we can grind around the feet, though that leaves uncoated islands. We plan that with you. Empty is faster. Occupied is normal.

Quartz is the default for hard wheels and chemicals. Flake hides dirt in lighter traffic or offices attached to the warehouse. Mixing them by zone is common. We will not put a residential flake kit under sit-down forklifts and call it industrial. The spec follows the traffic, not the brochure.
