Industrial Concrete Floors
Industrial Concrete Finishings
Industrial Floor finishes are different and have special requirements needed as compared to regular concrete flooring you would find in a typical residential setting.
These special requirements usually relate to the slabs of concrete used and how these slabs must be suitable for specific loads, the flatness of the surface and the levelness of the surface.
More special requirements that are taken into account with industrial flooring are the necessary hardness of the surface and even the colour of the surface, which are all determined by our team using our special techniques to determine what requirements are necessary when finishing the concrete.
Why is Concrete used in Industrial Settings
Concrete flooring is a heavily popular flooring option in the industrial world due to it being less prone to cracking, rutting or potholes when put under extreme traffic and heavy loads. In addition to its durability, concrete is fairly easy to install, the maintenance and upkeep of this type of flooring are minimal and in general, has a long life before it will need to be refloored.
Materials Used in Industrial Concrete Floors:
Using the right materials in the mixing process of the concrete is crucial in commercial and industrial flooring to avoid the flooring cracking from heavy traffic and loads. Some examples of materials that can sometimes be utilised in industrial flooring are;
Fly ash/slag cement – These materials are often used as supplementary materials to concrete.
Expansive cement – This type of cement when being set into place expands slightly and then eventually will set back into its original size. This process is utilised to avoid future cracking.

Epoxy & Seamless Flooring
Epoxy is an extremely safe coating for your concrete surface. It is shock, slip and water-resistant and is used mostly in industrial settings as it protects against chemical spill damage.
Concrete Polishing
Polished concrete floors are a great alternative to more expensive flooring such as marble, granite, tile, or coated concrete. It has terrific density, durability and is low maintenance.

Honed Concrete
Produces a smooth levelled out matte concrete finish for outdoor settings, which is heavily slip-resistant due to penetrative sealers.
Self-Levelling Overlays & Micro-toppings
Overlays are a cement-based compound that is spread across a pre-existing surface to create a new more durable flat surface.
