Commercial Epoxy Floor Coating McMinnville Oregon

Smith & Company Painting is your trusted source for epoxy floor coatings in McMinnville Oregon and Yamhill County. We also provide residential epoxy floor coating solutions.

Each type of epoxy floor coating comes in a variety of types that are versatile and customizable for each industry. One of the best reasons to use epoxy coatings is that they protect your floor from damage so that your floor will last for many years. Take a look below at a sampling of completed projects by our skilled contractors and artisans.

Epoxy Floor Coating

Let’s look at the other benefits of applying a commercial epoxy floor coating:

Looks Great

Concrete coatings are a great way to add your personal style to a building. Epoxy coatings can be made to look like almost any other type of flooring, but last much longer. If you want your customers to say “wow” when they enter your business, a custom floor coating is the way to go.

Easy To Clean

Concrete floors with an epoxy coating are water and dust-resistant which make them incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Most coatings are also antibacterial which makes them a great choice for businesses that see a lot of young kids

Improved Safety

If your business currently has a concrete floor that is not coating, there are probably bumps or lips where the concrete has settled more than in other places. The concrete may also have cracks or erosion that can result in surfaces that are hazardous to walk on. Epoxy coatings remedy this situation by providing an even walking surface and can even have a non-slip surface applied to the top for added safety.

Environmentally Friendly

Since epoxy floor coatings help concrete floors last for many years, they need to be replaced much less frequently than other flooring options. This is good for the environment and for your business since you won’t need to put your business on hold while the flooring gets replaced.

Industrial Epoxy Flooring McMinnville Oregon

Epoxy Flooring

The industrial epoxy concrete floor project featured here was applied at an industrial steel mill located in McMinnville Oregon.

This project, like many, had challenges we needed to over come. We had a short time frame to work with. Plus we had fluctuating temperatures with cold at night and warm during the day.

The main problem to solve was water splashes from the second floor dripping through cracks down to the first floor.

No problem. We solve concrete floor problems.

Commercial Epoxy Flooring Project Summary

Property Type – Steel Mill

Location– McMinnville Oregon

Project Size – 1,300 Square Feet

Goal – Waterproof and Fix Concrete Floor with Non-Slip Surface

Problems –  Floor was in rough shape with extensive cracks. When water splashed onto the surface water dripped through to first floor. Metal dust was on floor from pipes needing extensive cleaning. The project needed to be completed in 4 days.

Solution –  Metal dust was cleaned from the concrete floor, equipment and pipes. The next step was fixing the cracks. Using a grinder with a crack chasing blade to grind open the cracks. Then an epoxy was mixed with sand and filled the depth and length of each crack.

The final process was the application of a high performance, quick curing polyaspartic coating. The first coat was applied followed by broadcasting sand to the wet surface. Once cured a final coat was applied.

This solved the water issue with a nonskid, easy to maintain surface and done within the 4 days provided to complete the project.

What Can Affect an Epoxy Floor Coating Cost?

There are a lot of factors that can affect an epoxy floor coating cost, the main ones being the size of the floor and the material being used. There are a lot of other smaller factors, however, that can affect the cost of an epoxy coating, which people sometimes don’t realize. In this blog, we will look at these additional factors and how they affect coating costs.

Epoxy Floor Coating

Epoxy Floor Coating Cost Factors

Floor Condition

The condition of the floor is very important to consider when determining the cost of a coating project. If there is residual glue on the floor from the previous flooring, or if the concrete is really rough, it will require additional work to get it sanded down to a workable state. Cracks and joints also need to be taken into consideration because they will need to be filled before work can begin.

Precision Grinding

When a concrete floor is being prepared for an epoxy coating, the contractor uses a large grinder to even out the floor. In cases where are a drain, pillar, or wall is present, the contractor must instead use a precision grinder. This precision grinder requires more expertise and time which can increase the cost of the job.

Coating Purpose

The next factor of the determining the cost of an epoxy coating is what does the coating need to guard against? Answering this question will not only tell the installer which material to use but also how thick the coating needs to be. Thicker coatings give greater protection, but use more materials and take longer to install.

Slip-Resistant Coating

If the floor coating is going to be installed in an area with a high amount of foot traffic, it is recommended to also install a slip-resistant coating. These coatings reduce the risk of accidents, but they also require additional materials and time.

Power

The last factor clients often neglect to think about is the power situation in the building. It is common to have concrete floors coated near the beginning of a construction project, but that usually means there are inadequate power outlets. This means generators have to be brought to power the equipment needed to apply the epoxy coating.

If you are looking into having an epoxy coating installed, remember how these factors can affect the epoxy floor coating cost. To get an estimate from one of our trusted professionals, just visit our Contact Us page and tell us a little about your project.

Garage Floor Paint Installers Near Portland Oregon

Garage Floor

Here is another Smith and Company Garage floor coatings project. This one is in SW Portland.

Though it looks like garage floor paint, in fact, the system we used here is a high-performance coating.

Garage Flooring System Explained

1. Location – SW Portland, Oregon 97221

2. Property Type – Residential home

3. Project Size – Home is 5,240 sq. ft. and the 4 car garage is 1,115 sq. ft.

4. Project – The scope of work was to grind the concrete and apply our polyaspartic garage floor coating system.

5. Problems – The biggest problems were extensive stains with random cracks through the garage floor.

6. Solution – The floor was in good condition overall. There were normal cracks which we repaired with a  chasing blade to clean them out and filled with the epoxy filler. Then we ground the entire floor with our grinder to clean the floor and remove any traces of dirt and stains as well as to grind the epoxy filler flush so that when the job is done you will never know that there were ever cracks in the floor. The color used in this project is called “Smoke”.

7. Time to Complete – Project was completed in 1 day with our fast track polyaspartic system.

8. Products – We used a 2 component fast cure epoxy to fill the cracks with an ultra-fast cure polyaspartic for the coating. This unique coating withstands hot tires, chemical and fluid spills. It’s easy to maintain and last for years.
