9 Questions About Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Unit Spaces

What epoxy is rated for forklift traffic in a warehouse?

Our forklift-rated systems are built to handle 150-200 PSI point loads without denting or cracking. See the full spec sheet on our industrial warehouse flooring page.

Do restaurants need special food-safe epoxy for kitchens?

Yes — commercial kitchens need NSF-certified, food-grade epoxy that's heat and grease resistant and meets health code requirements. That's exactly what we install on every commercial kitchen project.

What's the best flooring for a commercial gym with heavy equipment drops?

Gyms need an impact-resistant, anti-slip epoxy system that can take dropped weights and constant foot traffic without chipping. Our commercial gym flooring page covers the specific system we use.

Can epoxy handle oil and chemical exposure in a mechanic shop?

Yes — we use oil- and chemical-resistant epoxy formulated specifically for mechanic shops, where standard coatings would stain or break down quickly. Details are on our mechanic shop flooring page.

Do you offer volume pricing for multi-unit or property management jobs?

Yes, we work with property managers and multi-unit owners on volume-priced schedules across several units at once. Take a look at recent work on our commercial projects page.

Is there a difference between commercial and industrial epoxy?

Yes — commercial epoxy (offices, retail, restaurants) is optimized for appearance and moderate foot traffic, while industrial epoxy (warehouses, manufacturing) is formulated for heavy point loads, forklift traffic, and chemical exposure at a much greater thickness. We recommend the right grade based on how your space is actually used — see our industrial warehouse and commercial office pages for examples of each.

How often does a commercial epoxy floor need to be recoated?

A properly installed commercial epoxy floor typically holds up 5-10 years before it needs a full recoat, though high-traffic zones like entrances or forklift aisles may need a topcoat refresh sooner. Our warranty coverage outlines what's included for commercial installations.

Can you install epoxy around warehouse equipment that can't be moved?

Yes — we regularly work around fixed racking, machinery, and equipment that can't be relocated, coating in sections and scheduling around your operating hours to minimize downtime. This is standard on our manufacturing and warehouse projects.

Do you offer any warranties for commercial projects?

Yes — every commercial installation is backed by a 2-year warranty covering peeling, fading, and coating failure under normal use, and we're fully insured on every job. Full details are on our warranty page.

Pricing is the first thing most homeowners ask about - and the hardest to compare between companies.

3. DIY Kits vs. Professional Commercial Grade

A lot of homeowners start with a hardware-store kit before calling us.

What's happening under the coating matters as much as the coating itself.

5. Aesthetics & Daily Functionality

Epoxy isn't one-size-fits-all - the finish you choose affects both the look and how the floor lives day to day.
