NYC Industrial Flooring

Decorative concrete has many options when it comes to NYC industrial flooring. There are various types of coatings that solve a myriad of design and function issues.

Each floor is different. In some cases your floor may need a self leveling concrete to raise the floor and level the surface. There are a few self leveling concrete products that can be stained and sealed. The results can be flat gray with a matte finish or bright colors with a high gloss.

Concrete polishing has become a popular finish in NYC and is in demand as industrial, retail and residential flooring. You likely have seen it and possibly thought it was marble. Stain and dye options for polishing projects have opened up numerous options.

Epoxies are still very popular for industrial and commercial kitchen use. Coloring techniques have made epoxies a decorative option as well.

Minneapolis Minnesota Dog Kennel Floors

The dog kennel floor featured here was a do it yourself concrete floor coating that delaminated within 6 months of application. Based in the Minneapolis Minnesota area, the owner applied an industrial, name brand epoxy.

The reason for the dog kennel floor epoxy coating failure was due to a few reasons. One is that the floor was not properly prepared. Any coating will delaminate if the floor is not mechanically profiled. The second is in the Minneapolis Minnesota area ground moisture and salts inherent in concrete are pushed to the surface via hydrostatic pressure. Few coatings have the ability to withstand the chemical breakdown caused by moisture and salts.

GF1 owned by Joe Sheehan was brought in to remove the coatings. GF1 has the equipment and expertise required to remove failed coatings. Not an easy task. The floor tapered to drains which was one of the first challenges. Dog kenel floors need constant cleaning. Water needs to freely drain without pooling. Many of the rooms were small requiring hand grinders and compact grinding machines all in the GF1 arsenal.

The coating removal consisted of 2,800 sf and took 2 days to complete.  If you are in the Minneapolis Minnesota Metro area and need coatings removed from your concrete floor Joe Sheehan of GF1 can be reached at 651-748-5999. www.gfonecoatings.com
