The ideal way to protect concrete surfaces is to protect them with epoxy flooring. Garages are a general location for epoxy coats, mainly to save the concrete from oil stains and tire marks. One of the hugest garage spaces is in reality a plane hangar! The larger the space, the more critical it is to have a capable and experienced installer, like the staff at California Custom Coatings in El Dorado Hills.
Airlines Add Epoxy Topcoats
When you inquire about what aviators prefer for covering their hangar floors, epoxy coats are regularly mentioned. Hot tires stick to concrete, but not epoxy flooring. Equipment work causes drips and stains, but not on coated concrete. Reports one pilot: “I have had an epoxy floor in my hangar going on 9 years now and it still looks new.”
Benefits of Epoxy Coats for Hangars
The larger the hanger, the harder it is to maintain sufficient lighting for overnight work. And since most work takes place beneath the plane, ceiling lighting is commonly shadowed by the plane itself. Epoxy coatings provide exceptional light reflection, making it easier to illuminate the working areas in a hangar.
Another benefit to epoxy coatings is the ability to embed parking lines and safety markings right into the floor covering. That way, you do not need to worry about paint getting scuffed and faded, or surface applications losing attachment over time. A well-delineated hangar is a safer and more productive workspace, and epoxy topcoats support both of those qualities. And if you’re anxious about traction when the hangar floor is wet or slick, ask for non-slip compliments be included in your epoxy topcoat.
Epoxy coats are an adaptable and productive way to beautify and protect your hangar floor. Save time with the installation and complete a professional look by using skilled installers to protect your hangar floor.
