Here are 4 great reasons why epoxy/urethane coatings work so good for hangar flooring!
Longevity
An airplane hangar can be busy place with maintenance personnel and pilots moving through the area. You defiantly don’t want to remove all the aircraft and leave in the elements just to re surface the flooring every couple years. This costs you precious time and money. By using epoxy flooring, you will be able to enjoy up to 15-20 years of life of this coating.
Durability
Epoxy chemically bonds with the flooring. This means it is not going to flake off over time. Epoxy/Eurathane also cures extremely hard, so it does not get damaged easily. If oil or another substance is spilled on the floor, the coating does not absorb it, It can easily be wiped away! The sheer weight of some aircraft also need a very durable floor, a thick epoxy coating can handle the heaviest jets in the world. The floor of an airplane hangar flooring takes a lot.

Maintenance
Epoxy is very easy to maintain properly. It only requires sweeping up dirt and debris with a fine broom. Someone can pressure wash or do a full floor wash if needed. Be sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner, This will allow the floor to stay in great condition for a longer time. Very abrasive cleaners will dull the top coat of the epoxy and dull the look over time.
Aesthetics and color
There are many color options for all flooring types and this includes hangars. Many airplane hangars just need a basic floor. Lighter colors are often chosen as they are easier to see small leaks but any custom color combination will work to appeal the customer! Vinyl flakes give the floor an industrial-style finished look but have more grip than none. The flakes come in all different sizes, Usually we would use a finer flake such as a hanger floor. If the hangar is for private aircraft you can pick a floor that is more decorative and indicates a showroom feel to impress the clients. We can implement vinyl logo’s in the flooring, Whether its your business or just your favorite aircraft manufacturer (Vans aircraft is mine personally) Epoxy has so many different color options, you will guaranteed find something that will suit you and your needs.
