Industrial floor coating has become an increasingly popular solution for businesses looking to improve the durability and longevity of their floors. Not only does it protect against everyday wear and tear such as foot traffic, dings, and scratches, but it also offers a range of benefits such as improved safety, aesthetics, and hygiene. With a coating tailored to their specific industry, businesses can create a seamless and non-porous surface that is easy to clean and disinfect, helping to reduce the risk of bacteria and other contaminants. This is especially relevant to those in the new and booming cannabis market. Protecting your crops, maintaining a hygienic and work-safe processing facility, and reducing maintenance costs are key elements of running a successful cannabis business. Here’s why concrete floor coating should be a priority for your business.
Why should I cover my concrete?
Historically, concrete is one of the most durable, low-maintenance types of flooring for industrial and manufacturing environments. However, even concrete has its limits. While it is strong, it is also prone to cracking, chafing, and staining, and can be expensive to repair let alone replace. Thankfully, technology has sought to improve the longevity and versatility of concrete through industrial floor coating products using specially designed UV-resistant urethane materials. One of the biggest benefits of concrete floor coating is its durability. Cannabis facilities can be high-traffic areas, with heavy equipment and machinery constantly moving around. Employees create constant foot traffic, and dropped equipment can cause dings and scratches. Unfortunately, scratches, dings, and cracks can be breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and mould that can easily threaten cannabis products from plant to harvest to the final product. While concrete itself wouldn’t provide any source of nourishment for mould spores, a crack or divot in concrete can accumulate moisture, dirt, and other contaminants that are capable of breeding mould. Our floor coatings are designed to withstand this type of wear and tear, making them the ideal choice for cannabis facilities looking to safeguard their product from common issues like powdery mildew, caused by inadequate sanitation.
What else can floor coating offer?
Industrial floor coating also looks great! It comes in a wide variety of colours and finishes that can be tailored to your company’s particular aesthetic, allowing you to choose the perfect look for your facility including texturing for added slip-and-fall prevention. This can help to create a professional, safe, and inviting environment for employees and customers alike.
Concrete floor coating is a smart choice for cannabis facilities. Its durability, ease of maintenance, resistance to moisture and chemicals, and aesthetic appeal make it a business-savvy choice for those in the industry.
