Colorado Concrete Repair Provides Commercial Concrete and Epoxy Services for High Traffic Areas
We sometimes forget how much abuse the floor beneath our feat takes. Every step we take puts some degree of pressure on our flooring, aging it slightly. Even the most high end flooring in the most low traffic areas are going to experience slow, steady damage that will eventually contribute to its breakdown. No matter how durable the flooring, those steps affect it.
In high traffic areas, the effects of this foot traffic are even more apparent. If you have a low quality flooring in a high traffic area, you’re going to find that your flooring takes a LOT of abuse.
All About Concrete
Very, very few types of flooring are able to withstand the damage caused by high foot traffic. But concrete is one of them.
Concrete flooring offers exceptional durability and strength, making it an ideal choice for high traffic commercial properties. Its ability to resist wear and tear, combined with its low maintenance requirements, makes it a cost-effective solution for many businesses. Concrete floors can also be enhanced with various finishes, such as polishing or staining, to improve their aesthetic appeal and match the interior design of your property.
The Benefits of Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy coatings provide another effective solution for high traffic areas. Epoxy coated flooring is known for its added durability when placed atop concrete flooring, improving the strength and resiliency of the concrete flooring. The epoxy resin creates a stronger surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, machinery, and equipment without showing signs of wear and tear.
In addition, epoxy flooring provides much easier maintenance and cleaning. It is non-porous, so the dirt and grim from shoes is much easier to clean up quickly without additional damage or any long term staining. Epoxy also offers additional slip resistance, which is especially important in high traffic commercial properties where injury and lawsuits can be an issue.
Epoxy also opens the door for aesthetic choices that are less likely to be ruined by the shoes and weight that other flooring may have to deal with in high traffic locations.
Comparison to Other Flooring Options
There are benefits to both concrete and commercial flooring in *every* commercial property, even those that do not have heavy foot traffic. For example, both concrete and epoxy are better at avoiding chemical spills and reducing bacterial buildup, an important benefit at doctor’s offices.
You typically cannot go wrong by choosing this type of flooring at your property, no matter how much foot traffic it receives. But concrete and epoxy is *especially* beneficial in locations with heavy foot traffic. It is able to withstand the force of millions of shoes and the chemicals and dirt they bring with them, making it the best option for nearly any property that sees a lot of people.
