It’s really interesting how you mentioned that epoxy flooring helps your vehicles to get better mobility because of the sleek surface and durability of the material. This would be really nice in a warehouse or garage because you could increase the efficiency of the work going on there. The only other thing that would be important to consider is what installation service to use in order to get the epoxy laid out.
Hi Todd,
Many epoxy systems can be applied in warehouse or garage setting. All of coatings are versatile and many can be used in these types of settings.

It’s good that you point out how easy epoxy floors are to clean. I need a new floor for my basement and I’m considering having an epoxy one installed for that reason. I’m going to look for a good company in my area that does epoxy flooring installation.
I like how you said that an epoxy coating will limit the wear and tear between a vehicle and the floor. This is good for warehouses where they have forklifts and other machinery driving around. The floors and the vehicles would last a lot longer and not need repairs as often.
I found it very interesting when you talked about how green epoxy flooring is, as well as how it’s sleek surface and durability make vehicles operating in the facility experience fewer mobility problems and wear and tear. My uncle works in a warehouse on a forklift and I’ve been wondering if there were better options for the floors there than the standard concrete, since that’s what I see whenever we pick him up. Thank you for the information about how epoxy is so quick and easy to apply to the floor and can save a lot on maintenance.
I didn’t realize that some vehicles could move easier on epoxy floors like you point out with the forklift in the article. I imagine that that is why so many warehouses and business storage areas have epoxy flooring. After all, the more efficient you can make your work vehicles, like forklift, the faster you can get that work done.
Hi Kyle, yes epoxy floor coatings will extend a forklifts lifetime. When a forklift is subjected to a harsh flooring environment, the vehicle will wear easier and faster. As long as an epoxy floor is well maintained, they will allow for forklifts, pallet jacks, and other vehicles to operate easier and more efficient. Not to mention that they will also enhance a building or warehouse visual appeal!
I didn’t realize that epoxy flooring is stain resistant. I can see why this would be nice especially if you expect that things could spill on it often. My mom is wanting to remodel her kitchen, but is worried about her grandchildren spilling food and liquids on it. I’ll have to talk to her about looking into using this kind of flooring to help prevent damage.
