Here at Columbus Epoxy Flooring, we’re passionate about delivering flooring solutions that not only look great but also provide lasting safety and functionality. We recently had the opportunity to tackle a fantastic project in Columbus, OH, for a local manufacturer, and the results speak for themselves!
The Challenge: Our client needed a robust flooring system for approximately 3,000 square feet of their manufacturing facility. Their primary goals were two-fold: enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area and, more importantly, significantly improve safety. With heavy machinery in operation, they needed a floor that could withstand daily wear and tear, provide excellent traction, and help contain potential oil and fluid spills.
The Solution: ProRez Power! To meet these demanding requirements, we turned to the proven performance of ProRez Coatings. We opted for a high-build coating system, leveraging the power of ProPoxy S as our base coat. This industrial-grade epoxy is renowned for its exceptional durability and chemical resistance – perfect for a manufacturing environment.
For added safety and to meet the client’s traction needs, we incorporated a 40/60 mesh silica sand into the ProPoxy S layer. This creates a textured surface that dramatically reduces slip hazards, even when the floor is wet or oily.
Finally, to cap off this high-performance system, we applied a ProThane topcoat. ProThane is a premium urethane topcoat that provides superior abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and UV stability, ensuring the floor maintains its pristine appearance and protective qualities for years to come.
Beyond the Aesthetics: Safety and Containment
While the “looking good” aspect was certainly achieved – the new floor truly brightens up the space – the safety benefits are paramount. The enhanced traction from the silica sand greatly minimizes the risk of slips and falls, a critical concern in any manufacturing setting. Furthermore, the seamless, non-porous nature of the ProRez system helps to contain oils, coolants, and other fluids, preventing them from seeping into the concrete and making cleanup far easier and more effective. This not only contributes to a cleaner work environment but also helps prevent potential contamination and further enhances safety.
Project Success!
We’re incredibly proud of how this project turned out. The team at Columbus Epoxy Flooring meticulously installed this high-performance system, delivering a floor that not only meets but exceeds our client’s expectations for aesthetics, safety, and durability.
