Airports and private air services companies face a very real challenge in keeping the flooring in hangers in top shape. Unfortunately, leaving the natural concrete flooring without treatment results in staining and damage to the flooring with exposure to oil, gasoline and other fluids.
By choosing an industrial production for aircraft hangar floor coating, a durable, long-lasting and cost-effective flooring option is possible. These systems allow for easy application, even for do-it-yourself applications, that look as good and last as long as those applied by professional flooring services.
What to Consider
When choosing an aircraft hangar floor coating, remember this is different than the flooring that may be used in residential or commercial garages. Not only is there a considerable weight and force issue on the flooring, but there is also the need to be resistant to the fluids and liquids used in aircraft.
A very important consideration with this type of flooring is going to be the ability to deal with heat. The tire heat on aircraft coming into a hanger can be substantial, so the flooring has to be able to stand up to heat without peeling or flaking. In addition, this is more than the heat that is common on vehicle tires, so not all garage floor products are a good choice.
Always makes sure the manufacturer has experience in using the specific floor coating in aircraft hangers. This simple verification will not only provide a durable coating but one that will last without lifting and flaking.
Colors and Options
While the aesthetics of aircraft hangar floor coating may not be a major consideration, it is always important to consider what options are available. Check also to ensure the flooring will be skid resistant.
Additionally, some types of flooring can be used to fill in irregularities in the flooring surface, providing a simple, one-step application that solves multiple issues with one cost-effective flooring option.
