Factory Flooring Solutions
Manufacturing plants demand floors that can endure significant wear and tear. They need to withstand the weight of forklifts, heavy machinery, and foot traffic while being waterproof and resistant to chemicals. Without these attributes, frequent floor replacements will be necessary. At National Concrete Polishing, we pride ourselves on providing the best factory flooring service that ensures longevity.
Optimal Flooring Options for Manufacturing Facilities: Epoxy Flooring & Polished Concrete
Choosing the right type of flooring for your business is a significant decision. In industrial and commercial settings like manufacturing facilities and distribution warehouses, the floors endure heavy traffic from machinery and people. Additionally, they must comply with OSHA and FDA regulations. Floors in these environments face harsh chemicals, oil, heavy machinery, and scratches. For such facilities, investing in a high-build mortar epoxy floor, urethane coatings, or polished concrete systems with hardeners is crucial.
Characteristics of Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy Flooring, also known as resinous floor coatings, offers numerous qualities essential for manufacturing facilities and shipping plants. Durability, sustainability, and decorative aspects make epoxy flooring an excellent alternative to traditional floors. This two-part system includes polymer resins and hardeners that, when properly mixed, form a strong adhesive bond with the concrete substrate.
- Aesthetics – Epoxy floors come in various customizable colors and textures, making them ideal for any workplace. Customized line striping in manufacturing facilities enhances safety through designated walkways and traffic indicators.
- Maintenance – Epoxy is seamless and easy to maintain since it doesn't harbor bacteria. A general-purpose cleaner and a walk-behind scrubber suffice for cleaning. Even a simple mop can keep these floors clean without needing waxing or buffing.
- Longevity – Properly applied epoxy flooring can last 10-20 years and even longer with suitable maintenance and touchups.
- Hides Imperfections in Existing Concrete – Covering imperfect concrete with enough coats of epoxy resin can hide flaws effectively.
- Durability – Epoxy floors can withstand foot traffic, truck tires, and heavy machinery, making them highly durable for manufacturing environments.
Polished Concrete Flooring
The process of polishing concrete involves minimal extra chemicals besides a simple densifier, making it one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable flooring systems. This method works well in manufacturing plants.
Polished Concrete Process
We employ a multi-step process to achieve a polished concrete floor, making it a suitable choice for industrial-grade floors.
Our Concrete Polishing Process
Our multi-step concrete polishing process includes the following steps:
- Prepping the Concrete: Remove large debris, repair cracks, and diamond grind the top concrete layer, ensuring the floor is clean and ready.
- Diamond Grinding: Access the unfinished concrete by using an industrial-grade grinder with diamond tooling.
- Expansion and Control Joints: Install joint filler in specified expansion and control joints. Fill holes and small cracks with grout when applicable.
- Polishing the Concrete: Use finer diamond grits to sand down the floor up to five times, resulting in a beautiful finish.
- Honing & Sealing: After polishing, apply an impregnating guard to penetrate and protect the concrete from within.
Polished Concrete The process of grinding and polishing concrete to create a clean, crisp finish has been around for years. Recently, new technologies have allowed us not only to level the surface but also to seal it with special products like permeating densifiers or low-odor semigloss coatings. This approach gives your floor longevity while maintaining its beauty.
With competitive pricing and timely delivery, NFJ aims to be your supplier and partner.
- Aesthetics – Polished concrete finishes are available in various color options and gloss levels. Its ability to reveal the natural beauty of aggregate adds to its appeal.
- Maintenance – Daily sweeping and weekly scrubbing are sufficient to keep polished concrete floors clean and shiny for years.
- Durability – Polished concrete is highly resistant to tire marks and can endure heavy forklift traffic without damage. Its high strength and density offer a smooth, shiny surface resistant to scratches and chipping.
- Longevity – Polished concrete floors last indefinitely. They may need rejuvenation every ten years, but this simple maintenance will restore their shine.
- Moisture Resistance – Polished concrete naturally resists moisture, eliminating the need for additional moisture mitigation primers required for epoxy flooring.

Services We Provide for Manufacturing Floors
Types of Manufacturing Facilities
Dry Manufacturing
Polished concrete is ideal for facilities that do not need an impervious flooring solution. It can get wet but survives with minimal fluid on its surface. However, it is not suitable for environments with consistently standing puddles or flooded areas. For facilities maintaining dry conditions, polished concrete provides a perfect footing.
Wet Manufacturing
Epoxy concrete floors are suitable for spaces encountering water or chemical spills, frequent pedestrian or machine traffic, and other substances that would degrade polished concrete quickly. Epoxy acts as a concrete sealant to protect your floor from water, moisture, and stains. It also offers a slip-resistant surface, ensuring the safety of staff from slips and falls.
Other Types of Facilities
Warehouses and showrooms benefit from polished concrete floors. The aesthetic appeal of polished concrete is professional and long-lasting.
