Getting The Warehouse Floor Painting Done By Professionals

By Megan Landry


Cement or concrete floors, in a warehouse, will occasionally look bad. It is almost always a dark color that does nothing to spread light around and it can be rather depressing depending on the amount of light that is available. Having a professional crew come in and do the warehouse floor painting that can help is one course of action.

The other, sometimes more important concern, is that when the flooring is not coated there develops a lot of problems with moving equipment around on them. Cracks and voids that happen, over time, can enlarge to the point that it looks like a pot hole in a street. The proper coating or painting of this surface is needed to help prevent this.

Maybe you will only need lines painted on the floor. These are used to delineate areas that personnel should either walk within or to stay out of. This will be indicated by the use of specific colors. Using these lines to direct traffic, both mechanized as well as foot, is the most common use for this method.

Using your own personnel to accomplish the painting will require them to perform this at night, often during a shutdown or over the weekend. All material and personnel will have to be removed and every square inch must be cleaned thoroughly. The time that this takes will not be able to be used in other areas and it has to get done right the first time. The time needed for curing is also something to consider.

The couple of different types of paint or coating can be consulted to identify the best one for your purposes. The professionals will make suggestions along this line. They will probably recommend the epoxy paint as this can be applied in areas that does not have a lot of ventilation if necessary. It also covers and fills in small rents in the surface as it is self leveling.

There are any number of professional companies who can come in and do this work. They have the trained technicians who do this every day and come with all of the appropriate equipment. They will come in and do a walk through to identify any problems that may exist and answer any questions you have. The schedule for their task should be in line with a shutdown or over a weekend.

Some of the things you will be asked to do will be to remove everything from the areas to be painted. They must be able to get to every inch of the floor in order to provide a coating that will bond to the floor and itself. They will then come in and clean the surface while preparing it to be painted. The painting will be conducted and cured so you are ready for operations again quickly.

Warehouse floor painting is a critical issue for all commercial facilities. It is either a very good and necessary idea or it is not. Obtaining a clean, sanitary, cleanable surface will make moving equipment on the floor easy and safe. The looks of the plant may not be the highest priority, however, the condition of the floor is crucial.
