Request a Free Estimate
Heavy equipment, oil and coolant drips, constant traffic, and strict safety standards—maintenance shops inside steel mills push floors to the limit. For this project in Lexington, NC, United Floor Coatings delivered a high-performance system designed for durability, visibility, and brand presentation across 2 entry bays and ~4,000+ sq ft of workspace.
The Challenge
The client needed a surface that:
- Controls moisture vapor rising through the slab
- Resists abrasion, chemicals, and hot tires
- Improves visual safety with clear walkways and work zones
- Showcases their brand at the entrance to the shop
Our system, layer by layer
- Moisture Vapor Barrier (MVB) Epoxy Basecoat
We started with an MVB epoxy to lock down vapor transmission and create a robust bond—critical in industrial environments where moisture can undermine coatings. - Full Broadcast of 1/4" Tuxedo Flake
The Tuxedo blend provides a clean, professional speckled gray/black finish that hides dust and debris while brightening the space for better visibility. - Polyaspartic Topcoat
A fast-cure, UV-stable coat that adds chemical and scratch resistance and locks the flake in place. - Polyester Urethane Topcoat
For maximum wear life, we finished with an industrial polyester urethane, delivering outstanding abrasion resistance, gloss retention, and easier long-term maintenance. - Integrated Vinyl Logos
We in-laid company-branded vinyl logos beneath the urethane, giving the shop a polished, corporate look that stands up to real-world traffic. - Safety Walkway Striping
We installed green walkways with yellow borders to define pedestrian lanes and safe zones—supporting 5S/visual management and EHS objectives across the facility.
Results that matter
- Performance: Multi-layer build resists abrasion, chemicals, and forklifts/maintenance vehicles.
- Safety & Flow: High-contrast green/yellow lanes guide movement and separate work areas.
- Branding: Durable, protected logos reinforce company identity.
- Uptime: Rapid return-to-service from polyaspartic chemistry keeps downtime low.

Why use a moisture vapor barrier (MVB) epoxy in industrial shops?
MVB epoxies control moisture vapor transmission from the slab, preventing blistering or delamination and creating a reliable base for heavy-duty topcoats in high-demand facilities.
What’s the advantage of both polyaspartic and polyester urethane topcoats?
Polyaspartic provides fast cure, clarity, and chemical resistance; polyester urethane adds exceptional abrasion and gloss retention. Together they maximize durability and uptime.
Can you integrate logos and safety walkways into the coating system?
Yes. Vinyl logos can be in-laid beneath clear coats, and we install color-coded safety paths (e.g., green lanes with yellow borders) to support 5S and EHS programs.
Is a flake finish like 1/4\" Tuxedo suitable for industrial environments?
A full flake broadcast adds texture, hides wear, and improves light reflectivity—ideal for maintenance shops where cleanliness and visibility matter.
