Industrial flooring businesses supply, install and repair floor systems designed for workplaces that experience heavy use, machinery, vehicle traffic or exposure to chemicals and moisture. They work in settings such as factories, warehouses, workshops, food production areas, laboratories and commercial kitchens. Depending on the site and its intended use, flooring may be made from epoxy or polyurethane resin, specialist cement-based compounds, sealed or polished concrete, or other durable materials. Services commonly include assessing the existing floor, preparing the substrate by cleaning, grinding or removing damaged coatings, and applying a new floor finish. Contractors may install screeds to create a level base, repair cracks and worn areas, add slip-resistant or hygienic finishes, and apply line markings or safety zones. They can also advise on factors such as load capacity, chemical resistance, drainage, cleaning requirements and curing time.
