Saw-cut joints
Forklift wheels hammer the joint edges until they chip and spall. We fill joints flush with polyurea so wheels roll over them instead of dropping in.
Warehouses & 3PL · Texas Warehouse floors that keep up with the forklifts.
Forklifts, pallet jacks and constant turns wear a floor out at the joints and in the aisles first. We match the system to your traffic, fill the joints and install around your shifts.
Where it fails
Warehouse floors fail in the same four places.
Most of it is predictable from the traffic pattern, so the bid plans for it before the first coat goes down.
Main aisles and turns
Tires turn in the same lanes all day and grind the surface. The urethane topcoat is there to take that abrasion so the epoxy underneath doesn’t.
Dock doors
Heat, rain and grit come in at the docks and get tracked inside. These are often the first areas to wear.
Dragged pallets and steel wheels
Dragged pallets and steel-wheel jacks gouge thin coatings. Where they run, we spec the thicker Heavy-duty system.
The system
Matched to what rolls on it.
Most warehouse floors take the Standard system. These are the exceptions we look for at the walkthrough.
- Start with
- System 02 · Standard, 15–20 mils with a urethane topcoat
- No coating
- System 01 · Densify and polish for big-box floors that need a harder, dust-proofed slab with nothing on top to peel
- Steel wheels
- System 03 · Heavy-duty, about 1/8", where steel wheels and impact run
- Charging areas
- System 04 · Novolac for battery charging and chemical storage
- Line items
- Polyurea joint filling, crack repair, aisle and safety striping, rack moving, moisture barrier if the slab tests wet
- Timing
- Holiday shutdown (Dec 20 – Jan 3), nights and weekends, or phased by zone
How it runs
Built around the shipping schedule.
The rest of the building keeps moving while we work one zone at a time.
-
Walkthrough + moisture test
We walk the floor and map aisles, docks, racking and charging areas, then moisture-test the slab before pricing.
-
Zone plan
We split the floor into zones so racks and inventory move once, and shipping keeps running in the rest of the building.
-
Grind or shot-blast
Diamond grinding or shot-blasting to CSP 2–3, with HEPA dust collection so dust stays off your inventory.
-
Joints, coating, striping
Joints filled, cracks repaired, coating and topcoat down, then aisle and safety lines. Every stage logged and photographed.
-
Walkthrough + warranty
We walk the finished zone with you, hand over the log and photos, and tell you when forklifts can go back on it.

Warehouses & 3PL
Can you coat around racking?
Yes. We either coat around fixed rack legs or move racks zone by zone. Rack moving is its own line on the bid, so you can choose.
How soon can forklifts drive on it?
It depends on the system and the slab temperature. We put the return-to-service time for each zone in the bid, so you can plan around it.
Do we even need a coating?
Not always. If the slab is in good shape and you mainly want less dust and easier cleaning, densifying and polishing (System 01) can be the better buy. We’ll tell you at the walkthrough.
Can you stripe aisles and walkways?
Yes. Aisle lines, pedestrian walkways, forklift lanes and safety zones go on the bid as their own line.
