Industrial flooring guidance
A practical guide for warehouse, logistics and manufacturing teams assessing repairs, surface preparation, coatings and polished concrete finishes.
Arrange a site survey
01
A useful specification begins with a site survey: identify cracks, failed joints, surface wear, contamination, levels and the routes used by forklifts, pallet trucks and people.
The same visible defect can have different causes, so repair scope should be matched to the slab condition and the operational loads it needs to carry.
02
Concrete repair is often the first step where joints, spalls or local failures affect safe movement. Surface grinding prepares sound concrete, removes coatings and creates the profile needed for a new system.
Epoxy coatings suit facilities that need a protective, cleanable surface, while concrete polishing can improve durability, dust control and day-to-day appearance where the existing slab is suitable.
03
Divide the work into workable zones, agree access routes and protect critical operations before work starts. Programme decisions should account for preparation, curing, handover and the return of traffic.
A condition-led plan helps facilities teams balance floor performance with operational continuity rather than selecting a system in isolation.
