If you’ve never thought about using epoxy floor coating for ships, marine vessels, boats or oil rig flooring, you’ll find this post quite interesting. Coatings Pro Magazine recently shared the work of Industrial Flooring Specialists in Florida. They were hired to add new epoxy floors at a Jacksonville Florida naval base.
A hot summer, a poor concrete pour, and a building with no electricity. This could have added up to the makings of a failed mission, but with an experienced crew from Industrial Flooring Specialists (IFS) and adaptable materials, the new epoxy floor at a naval base in Jacksonville, Florida, didn’t go awry. In fact, the folly was made fantastic in only five days.
Working on Epoxy Flooring in Hot Temperatures
Florida summers are hot, and the building started with no doors and no air conditioning. Temperatures hit 95 °F (35.0 °C), which meant that the crew was constantly battling the heat. To help the coatings, the crew used 48-inch (121.9 cm) fans and adjusted the coating mix.
Shopping for the Right Look in Floor Coatings
While the selection of coatings contractor was one part of the equation, another was selecting the appropriate system from a coatings manufacturer to apply. See the rest of the article on Coatings Pro Mag to find out more about the appropriate epoxy floor coating for the navy ship…
