Factory Flooring in India CoatEXX Industrial Solutions provides factory flooring in India for manufacturing plants, engineering units, steel plants, machine shops, textile mills and other industrial facilities. Factory floors must withstand heavy machinery, dropped components, forklift movement, oils, coolants, chemicals and continuous production traffic. Our manufacturing plant flooring and heavy-duty industrial flooring solutions are selected according to the loads, temperature conditions, chemical exposure and daily activities in each area. Depending on the requirements, we can recommend epoxy coatings, heavy-duty epoxy screeds, PU flooring, floor marking and concrete repair. We also plan installation around production schedules, weekends and planned shutdowns. Damaged concrete is assessed and repaired before coating to help create a suitable base for the new flooring system. Key Requirements: Resistance to impact and heavy traffic Protection against oils, coolants and selected chemicals Clearly marked walkways and machine zones Repair of cracks, joints and potholes Installation planned around production schedules CTA: Get a Factory Flooring Quote | Call +91 86570 78306

Common questions about Manufacturing & Heavy Industry flooring.
The choice of floor coating to be applied in the factory will be determined by many factors, including load of machinery, impact resistance, chemical resistance, temperature requirements, and concrete floor condition. While light-duty floors may need just floor coatings, heavy-duty floors may need screeds or PU concrete.
Heavy-duty epoxy screed is a thicker system than a standard resin floor coating, which provides better mechanical properties than the thinner system. Systems in the 3–10 mm trowel-applied range may be considered for heavy-duty production areas, subject to the product and site conditions.
Suitable areas of application:
The required thickness will depend on loads and impact and the condition of the substrate.
Polyurethane floors, along with suitable PU concrete floors, might be suitable where high temperatures, temperature variations, moisture, or chemicals render a normal epoxy floor unsuitable.
Suitable applications:
Temperature and chemical exposure need to be checked against the products' specifications.
The floor marks indicate the walking path and separate pedestrians from vehicles and machinery.
Floor marking colors and configurations must be according to the safety scheme of the factory.
Choosing the flooring system entails taking into account the normal operating conditions in the factory environment. What may suit one area in the factory may not be appropriate for another area where chemical handling takes place.
The above factors help in determining which of the following floors would suit – thin film epoxy, self-leveling epoxy, heavy-duty epoxy screed, and PU concrete floor.
Chemically resistant factory flooring is chosen depending on the chemicals present in the different production areas. There are varying chemicals and hence there might not be a one-size-fits-all coating that will fit in all manufacturing processes.
It is necessary for the company to determine the type of chemicals used, the degree of concentration and the contact times and temperatures of those chemicals. The state of the concrete floor, drainage, etc., needs to be considered as well.
Some of these areas might need a thickened floor system, cove base, or any other spill control measures.
Steel plant flooring and engineering industry flooring might have to withstand forklift traffic, overhead crane loads, metallic objects, impact and constant material movements, all of which could adversely affect regular coating materials as well as deteriorate concrete structures.
It could sometimes be more sensible to renovate certain walkways, machine areas and high-traffic areas rather than coating the entire factory area at one go.
Site inspection would help in finding the areas requiring concrete or flooring renovations.
Machine shop floors need to accommodate cutting fluid, lubricants, metal chips, vibration and movement from the machines, along with the movement of tools and parts.Oil spills and coolant spills could result in maintenance issues for the floor and even make the floor slippery.
The right type of coating will be the one that is able to resist whatever fluid there might be in the shop and be easy to clean within the machinery. The concrete surface should be inspected for any cracks and contaminants.
The coating and texture of the surface will depend upon the job done in the shop.
The textile mill flooring could be subjected to dyes, process chemicals, moisture, vibration, and constant flow of materials. Wet processing areas are going to have different needs than dry areas of production or storage.
Wet processing areas should have floors that are compatible with the chemicals used and that deal with moisture. Coving and drainage could be important in these types of facilities if fluids are to be washed away.
Dye houses, production floors, utility areas, and finished goods storage could each need their own flooring specification.
The factory flooring cost per sq. ft. varies according to the flooring material, the thickness of the flooring system, the state of the concrete slab, repair requirements, the size of the area to be installed, and the timing of the installation.
Where appropriate, a thin epoxy coating would be enough for some light-duty areas, but heavy-duty epoxy screed or PU concrete may be needed for some other areas. The general cost would also depend on the degree of floor preparation and repair required.
In certain factories, repairing and coating the highest-wear areas first will be more feasible than coating all areas at once. It all depends on the factory situation.
CoatEXX Industrial Solutions offers industrial flooring services to manufacturing plants, engineering facilities, and heavy industries.
Any cracks, joint damage, potholes, and poor-quality concrete are identified prior to installing the flooring system. By repairing these issues, problems associated with existing damage will be solved before the new floor finish.
Due to the variation in load capacity, impact, chemicals, and heat, there may be a requirement for a particular type of floor in each zone. The recommendations will be based on all these factors, along with the concrete condition.
The installation can be scheduled as per shutdown period availability.
Paths of pedestrians, forklift trucks, and machinery can be demarcated as per the discussion held with the EHS team at the plant.
The hand-over should mention the curing times and requirements for return to service of the chosen system. This will depend upon the product used, its thickness, and temperature.
No one type of flooring will meet all needs in every factory. Epoxy coating can be used where there is less pressure; heavy-duty epoxy coating may be more appropriate for mechanical conditions while PU concrete coating can be used in some cases where there is heat, moisture, or chemical exposure.
Yes, portions of the factory floor like walkway areas, machine areas, and production areas could be coated.
Yes. It is necessary to identify any portion of the floor that requires fixing before doing the coating.
