Transforming a 40-Year-Old Aerospace Manufacturing Facility with a High-Performance Epoxy Floor

Epoxy Flooring for Manufacturing Facilities in Statesville, NC

Aerospace manufacturing facilities demand high-performance flooring that can withstand heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and constant foot traffic. When a 40-year-old, 8,045-square-foot aerospace facility in Statesville, NC needed a durable and aesthetically pleasing upgrade, United Floor Coatings delivered a cutting-edge epoxy flooring solution designed for longevity and safety.

Challenges of an Aging Aerospace Facility Floor

Older manufacturing facilities often face significant flooring issues that impact both safety and efficiency. This facility’s floors were plagued with:

✔ Oil stains from years of aerospace component production
✔ Pitting, cracking, and bolt holes from machinery placement and movement
✔ Surface deterioration that created an uneven and hazardous work environment

To address these challenges, a comprehensive flooring restoration was required before any coatings could be applied.

Floor Preparation: A Critical First Step

Proper floor preparation is the key to a long-lasting epoxy floor. United Floor Coatings implemented a multi-step process to ensure optimal adhesion and performance:

• Diamond grinding to remove contaminants and create a porous surface
• Shot blasting to further enhance coating adhesion
• Crack and divot repair to restore structural integrity
• Bolt hole filling to ensure a seamless, even floor surface

Once the floor was fully prepped, the team applied an oil-tolerant moisture vapor barrier epoxy primer, specifically designed to combat oil contamination and moisture-related failures.

Custom Full Flake Broadcast for Durability & Slip Resistance

To enhance the facility’s aesthetics and functionality, the floor received a full broadcast of a custom vinyl flake blend. This unique system provided:

✅ A muted, non-busy aesthetic to maintain a professional workspace
✅ Slip-resistant texture for worker safety in high-traffic areas
✅ Seamless and easy-to-clean surface to reduce maintenance downtime

Finally, the floor was sealed with a high-performance polyaspartic topcoat, ensuring exceptional durability, UV stability, and chemical resistance—perfect for aerospace manufacturing environments.

Why Epoxy Flooring is Ideal for Aerospace Facilities

Investing in a high-quality epoxy flooring system offers aerospace manufacturers several benefits:

🔹 Increased Safety – Slip-resistant surfaces reduce workplace accidents
🔹 Extreme Durability – Resists heavy machinery, impact, and chemical spills
🔹 Seamless & Hygienic – Eliminates cracks where debris and contaminants can accumulate
🔹 Low Maintenance – Easy to clean and maintain for long-term performance
