Let’s go over how our epoxy floor coat­ing sys­tem instal­la­tions help pro­tect your work­place and your staff. 

Ben­e­fits of Epoxy Flooring

Reduce the Risk of Slips, Trips, and Falls

Slips, trips, and falls are com­mon caus­es of injury in any indus­tri­al set­ting, and poor floor con­di­tions are often to blame. While no amount of main­te­nance or resur­fac­ing can elim­i­nate this risk entire­ly, qual­i­ty indus­tri­al floor coat­ings can pro­vide sig­nif­i­cant trac­tion via anti-slip aggre­gate addi­tives and oth­er slip-resis­tant prop­er­ties. Not only that — by increas­ing the dura­bil­i­ty of your floors, you’ll pre­vent frac­tures, pits, and uneven­ness, pro­vid­ing a lev­el sur­face for every­one to walk upon.

Cur­tail Contamination

Indus­tri­al and com­mer­cial facil­i­ties alike must adhere to strict health and san­i­ta­tion stan­dards, espe­cial­ly those in the busi­ness of food pro­duc­tion, health care, edu­ca­tion, and human ser­vices. If your floors aren’t reg­u­lar­ly cleaned or prop­er­ly sealed, bac­te­ria and oth­er con­t­a­m­i­nants from both out­side and inside your build­ing can move across your floors and put your peo­ple in harm’s way. This is why Kaloutas offers antimi­cro­bial epoxy indus­tri­al floor­ing sys­tems — these spe­cial­ized coat­ings pre­vent these harm­ful actors from spread­ing inside your facil­i­ty. Plus, these floor­ing solu­tions are easy to wash, san­i­tize, and ster­il­ize on a reg­u­lar basis.

Facil­i­tate Main­te­nance and Repairs

One of the most potent long-term ben­e­fits of our epoxy floor sys­tems is how easy they are to main­tain. For one thing, epoxy floors are high­ly durable, able to with­stand indus­tri­al traf­fic, high foot traf­fic, and heavy equip­ment for a long time. With untreat­ed floors, you may need to invest in repairs fre­quent­ly, caus­ing inter­rup­tions and harm­ing your bot­tom line. Epoxy floor sys­tems reduce the fre­quen­cy and sever­i­ty of these repairs, sav­ing you time and mon­ey. On top of that, the smooth, glossy, water-resis­tant top­coat facil­i­tates all clean­ing tasks such as sweep­ing and wet mop­ping. Ulti­mate­ly, you’ll be able to divert resources pre­vi­ous­ly used for floor main­te­nance to oth­er, more impor­tant tasks, increas­ing effi­cien­cy and safety.

Increase Inte­ri­or Visibility

Mak­ing sure every­one inside your facil­i­ty can clear­ly see where they’re going and what they’re doing is essen­tial to their ongo­ing safe­ty. Our floor­ing sys­tems help in this regard, too. Epoxy coat­ings are high­ly vis­i­ble thanks to its gloss and var­i­ous col­or options — com­pare this to dull, worn down, unpro­tect­ed floors, and the dif­fer­ence is stun­ning. As an added bonus, this boost in inte­ri­or bright­ness can also help your bot­tom line by reduc­ing your ener­gy bills.
