Ready or Not, Summer’s Coming—Is Your Facility Floor Up to the Challenge?
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t always get the spotlight but absolutely should—your industrial floors. With summer on the horizon, heat, humidity, and heavy workloads are on their way too. And if you’re running a food processing or manufacturing facility, you already know how brutal the season can be on your concrete surfaces.
Now’s the time to stop patching up problems and start thinking long-term. That’s where Epic Concrete Coatings comes in—with industrial-grade polyurea coatings designed to work as hard as you do.
Why Polyurea is the Unsung Hero of Industrial Flooring
Forget epoxy. Seriously.
Polyurea floor coatings aren’t just a trendy upgrade—they’re engineered for facilities that deal with extreme temperatures, chemical spills, constant cleaning, and high foot traffic.
Here’s why facility managers are making the switch:
-
Thermal Shock Resistance: Perfect for food processing environments where extreme temps are the norm.
-
Moisture Protection: Built to thrive in humid conditions (hello, Midwest summers).
-
Slip Resistance: Because safety should never be optional.
-
UV Stability: No fading, yellowing, or breaking down in the heat.
Plus, these coatings don’t just perform—they look sleek and professional too.
Our Secret to Durability? It Starts with the Process.
At Epic Concrete Coatings, we don’t just slap on a coating and call it a day. Our six-step process ensures your floor performs like a champ for years.
✅ Step 1: Concrete Prep
We start by grinding your concrete to the perfect profile. It’s the key to rock-solid adhesion—and it keeps your coating from bubbling or peeling later.
✅ Step 2: Repairs & Resurfacing
Cracks, pits, and spalls? Gone. We reconstruct damaged concrete using a high-performance polyurea mender, restoring your surface before the coating even starts.
✅ Step 3: Basecoat Magic
We lay down a polyurea basecoat—strong, fast-curing, and built to bond tight to your floor.
✅ Step 4: Flake It ‘Til You Make It
Next, we fully broadcast decorative flakes to add both style and texture. It’s functional (hello, traction!) and customizable for your brand’s aesthetic.
✅ Step 5: Scraping for Smoothness
Once cured, we scrape off loose flakes for a perfectly even texture—essential for safety and cleanability.
✅ Step 6: Clear Coat Finish
Finally, we seal everything in with a 93% solids UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. It’s resistant to chemicals, stains, impact, and Mother Nature.

Summer Safety Starts from the Ground Up
In industrial settings—especially food-grade facilities—hygiene and safety are king. Slippery surfaces, stained concrete, and chipped flooring aren’t just ugly; they’re hazards and compliance headaches.
Polyurea coatings from Epic offer:
-
Slip-resistant additives to reduce fall risk
-
Smooth, seamless surfaces that are easy to clean
-
Chemical and moisture resistance for worry-free sanitization
Why wait for an incident when you can upgrade before peak season hits?
