Machine Shop Floor Coatings in Erie, PA
Erie Epoxy Flooring installs machine shop floor coatings for shops across Erie, Pennsylvania. A machine shop floor takes oil, metal shavings, heavy equipment, and constant traffic. Bare concrete absorbs oil and holds swarf. A coating seals the slab and gives you a surface you can sweep and mop clean. Call us for a free quote.
Machine shop work is about oil resistance and cleanability. We do not invent chemical or load resistance ratings. We install a sealed coating that is easier to maintain than bare concrete.
Machine Shop Work Areas
A machine shop floor sees cutting fluid, oil, metal shavings, and heavy carts. Bare concrete soaks up the oil and holds the swarf in its pores. A coating seals the surface so oil sits on top and shavings sweep up clean. That makes the shop easier to keep clean and safer to work in.
The build is heavier than a residential floor because the traffic is harder.
Surface Wear
Machine shop concrete wears under heavy equipment and metal traffic. The surface dusts and pits. We grind the worn layer off to reach sound concrete before we coat. If the slab is badly spalled from heavy use, we repair those areas first.
A worn shop floor can still be coated as long as the concrete underneath is solid.
Preparation and Contamination
Oil and cutting fluid are the big prep challenges in a machine shop. They soak deep into bare concrete. We grind the floor to remove contamination and open the surface. Heavily soaked areas may take more prep. We factor that into the quote.
The slab has to be clean and sound before any coating goes down.
Maintenance
A coated shop floor sweeps and mops clean. Oil does not soak in. Metal shavings come off the surface. The sealed concrete does not dust. That keeps the shop cleaner and the equipment happier.
In the heaviest traffic paths, the topcoat may wear over time and need a recoat.
Machine Shop Floor Coatings Questions
Will epoxy hold up to cutting fluid and oil?
A sealed epoxy floor resists oil and cutting fluid sitting on the surface, so spills wipe up instead of soaking in. We do not invent specific chemical resistance ratings. We look at your shop and recommend a system that fits the use.
