Epoxy Floors Can Last Decades, But Only With Proper Installation

After experiencing lifting and pealing of floor products, many industries have reduced their expectations for shop floor life to three or four years. This is unfortunate because epoxy floors have an intrinsic service period of a decade or more if the subfloor is properly prepared prior to laying down the coating.

Even new floors require proper preparation before a seal coating is applied. New concrete is dusty for the first few years as the microscopic latents are kicked off the surface. If concrete is  exposed to wear, it will eventually deteriorate. Friction wear,  erosion, and contamination all play a role. Dust, cracks, crumbling, rough surfaces, and the inability to keep the environment clean are  symptoms of a floor that has not been protected and is moving towards an unserviceable condition.

The secret to Durall Industrial Flooring's success in producing floors that last a decade or more is the attention it pays to the preparation process. Durall's own line of 500 specialty-cleaning products ensure that the etching and cleaning of the subfloor is done right and results in a strongly bonded epoxy layer.

Durall installations include mission-critical sites in industries such as printing, food processing, air travel, and breweries. Companies like Japs Olson Printing continue to rely on decade-old Durall floors that are used 24 hours per day, supporting million- dollar presses with no allowance for shut down to do floor resurfacing.

Durall also provides factory-direct support for its products. Kits of materials are customized to owner specification and delivered directly to the job site. Kits include full directions and 24/7 help lines staffed by seasoned flooring experts, so professionals and amateurs alike can successfully install a quality floor.
