Signs You Need To Repair Your Warehouse Concrete Floors
Warehouse concrete floors have to endure heavy loads, such as forklifts and pallet trucks. In fact, they experience more damage than any other type of commercial flooring. To make sure they remain in good condition, Guardian Garage Floors NC, a top garage flooring company, suggests keeping an eye out for these common signs of floor damage.
Floor cracks. A warehouse concrete floor should be smooth. However, you may notice the surface has cracks. Fortunately, small ones aren’t much of a concern since concrete surfaces typically develop minor movement or settlement cracks. Bigger cracks, especially ones that are starting to open up, should be inspected by a professional. Such damage may expose the lower levels of the concrete to moisture that could affect the stability of your warehouse floor. Not only that, but gaping cracks can pose a safety hazard to your employees and vehicles.
Stains and marks. Warehouse concrete floors are also susceptible to all kinds of stains and marks. Tire marks from forklifts and pallet jacks, for instance, are not uncommon. In addition to worn-out tires, these may appear when the vehicles skid on the floor surface. To minimize tire marks, consider applying garage floor coatings, such as polyaspartic floor coating.
Flakes and pits. The surface layer of a concrete floor may begin to flake and develop tiny pit holes due to damage and age. If you painted or sealed the surface, the coating can degrade over time. To restore the surface, you can strip the floor and repaint or reseal it. Better yet, you can install a polyaspartic floor coating system that protects the surface against flaking, pitting and even spalling.
