Appearance and functionality are important when choosing the features for your commercial facility. But cost is almost always the deciding factor when choosing flooring. This includes more than just the cost of the initial installation and materials. A commercial floor will ideally last for years and you want to be aware of how much money you might need to spend on repairs and maintenance to keep your floor looking good and performing well during this time. By taking these factors into account, you can make sure you are getting a floor that is not only the right commercial floor cost up front, but continues to meet your requirements while staying within your budget throughout its lifetime. Ongoing Commercial Floor Cost The cost you will pay to maintain flooring in the years after installation will depend largely on the type of floor and your environment. Understanding all the different environmental factors makes it possible to choose flooring that will work in your specific environment with as few repairs as necessary: Dirt – Almost every surface will collect some dust from time […]

When you start noticing damage in your concrete or epoxy flooring, such as a crack or unlevel area, a property owner’s first instinct may be to ignore it, especially if it looks like a minor issue and is not impacting the operations at your commercial property. After all, at this point, it can be difficult to justify the cost and the interruption to your business operations while the repair is completed. But this choice to leave a problem on your concrete floor can end up being a far more expensive one for your business and there are several financial reasons why you should repair concrete flooring as soon as you notice a problem for a more affordable commercial floor solution. Cost Savings with Fast Concrete Repair With concrete flooring, almost every problem starts off small and becomes more noticeable as time goes on. For example, with an unlevel concrete floor, you might at first only notice a slight slope to the floor.

Slip and fall accidents are a significant concern for many workplaces where water, oil, liquids, or other debris can quickly turn floors into a hazard. This type of accident is the cause of approximately ⅓ of all workplace accidents and the leading cause of comp time, making them expensive for many businesses in terms of payouts and lost work. Because of the health risks, OSHA has various guidelines for commercial properties surrounding anti-slip flooring in order to lower the risk of accidents. But any requirements for installing a slip-resistant floor are largely dependent on individual properties or industries rather than requiring specific materials or installation techniques. Instead, properties are required to have a floor that is slip resistant under the specific conditions the business operates in. For many businesses, this makes epoxy flooring the leading solution for slip resistant flooring, but knowing what the existing standards are for slip resistance, what factors impact it, and how epoxy measures up can help you determine if this is the right flooring product for your business. How Slip Resistance is Tested Although there […]

DO I NEED CONCRETE FLOOR FINISHES? Often our clients ask us if or when they need to apply floor finish. Our viewpoint on when to apply floor finish might be different from some in our industry, but it is this way for a reason. The main goal of floor finish or wax, is to prolong the life of the sealed concrete. That is why many people in the industry call it a “sacrificial wear surface.” This sacrificial wear surface is beneficial in many ways, however, once you apply it, you must reapply as your regular maintenance routine. Therefore, in most cases, we recommend our clients wait until they absolutely must apply it instead of immediately after the flooring is sealed. We do this personally at home and will recommend this to most clients. WHAT ARE CONCRETE FLOOR FINISHES ANYWAY? Floor finish is a synthetic liquid or natural wax that is applied to the floor and dries smooth, leaving a durable and smooth film. This film acts as a protective surface from wear and makes the floor look nice. It also is a […]
