Distribution floors that keep working while you fix them
A distribution floor fails slowly and then all at once: dusting slab, spalled joints, a topping that has debonded under the racking. The hard part is rarely the resin. It is doing the work in a building that cannot stop shipping.
What the floor has to take
Wheel traffic that never lets up
Pallet jacks and lift trucks run the same lanes all day, and hard polyurethane wheels are unforgiving of anything that has lost its bond. Wear shows up as lanes long before it shows up as failure.
Racking loads on small footprints
Upright base plates concentrate an enormous amount of weight into a few square inches, and they do not move for the life of the building. What sits under and around them has to be sound before anything is placed on top.
Dust, and a building full of product
Grinding a warehouse dry and uncontained coats every rack in the place. Collected grinding is what lets prep happen inside a working facility rather than shutting it down — and it is why we run our own equipment rather than renting it by the day.
Toppings that have already failed
A self-leveler that has debonded cannot be coated over. It comes off, the slab underneath gets ground, patched with new concrete and re-leveled, and only then does resin go down. That is demolition and concrete work before it is flooring.
What we specify for it
- Solid color epoxy
- The most cost-effective way to turn a raw warehouse slab into a floor you can maintain. It brightens a dark building, wipes clean, and takes aisle striping and safety markings cleanly.
- Urethane cement
- For the wet and the heavily loaded end of a facility. It breathes, so it can go over slabs carrying moisture that would blister a straight epoxy, and it takes heavy wheel traffic.
- Surface prep & demolition
- Grinding, topping removal, joint filling and spall repair. Most warehouse calls we take start here rather than with a finish system.

28,000 sq ft ground in Kenosha, 10,000 re-leveled in Chicagoland
A Kenosha logistics warehouse taken back to sound concrete with dust-collected grinding across 28,000 sq ft. In Chicagoland, five inches of failed self-leveler demolished off a 10,000 sq ft floor, the slab ground, patched with new concrete and re-leveled before coating.
