When you install an epoxy coating as your commercial flooring solution in a Denver business, you have an extremely durable and low maintenance floor that is suitable for a wide variety of facility types. One other requirement that commercial floors have at Denver warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other facilities may need to withstand temperature extremes.

Curing is the process by which concrete hardens, transitioning from a liquid state to the hard and durable surface that will make up your floor. Although this is often called drying, this is somewhat of a misnomer.

Understanding how curing happens in concrete will give you a better idea of what to expect if you are installing a concrete floor at your property. The curing process will enable concrete to reach its full strength and determine when you can begin using your new floors. Concrete Curing Process and Timeline There are a few different types of curing methods used with concrete, such as water curing or membrane curing.

Many of the warehouses in the Denver area rely on forklifts to quickly and conveniently move products. This can lead to several different concerns at commercial properties because forklifts are not easy on floors and bad floors are not easy on forklifts or their drivers. Having the right flooring materials in place in your Denver warehouse will decrease the challenges that you face in a warehouse where your business operations require forklift traffic. For many warehouses, the leading option is epoxy to create a convenient path for forklift traffic and ensure concrete durability. How Epoxy Flooring Benefits Forklift Traffic in Warehouses The average forklift was approximately 9000 pounds or more. This is approximately three times the weight of a car. Despite this weight, forklifts are not designed with any significant attention to comfort or capabilities. The small wheels make them incapable of handling any large obstacles and the lack of suspension system means every bump is felt entirely by the driver and whatever load the forklift is carrying. On a concrete floor, challenges with forklift traffic can lead to a […]
