While you can’t always control scratches, spills, and other accidents, you can take routine steps to keep your concrete floor aesthetically pleasing and, more importantly, structurally sound.
Conducting routine cleaning and repairing cracks and chips as soon as they occur will help prolong the life of your concrete floor, greatly reducing the risk of extra expenditures and downtime in the long run.
Patching and joint edge rebuilding techniques can be used to repair spalled, broken, or loose concrete. Fast curing epoxy mortar systems are most commonly used for this type of repair. Though these repairs are typically easy to make , it’s often a good investment to have a trained professional apply our high-quality coatings and concrete joint fillers, ensuring optimal reliability and a long-term solution.
Epoxy coatings are ideal for protecting concrete floors from surface damage, corrosion, and staining.
Concrete control joints are designed to control the normal shrinkage cracking of concrete. The use of a joint filler (epoxy or polyurea) is designed to support the joint edges to prevent edge deterioration and concrete spalling.

Most concrete repairs can be completed with the use of epoxy, but specific elements of the procedure will vary depending on the severity of the issue.
It’s best to repair a crack or chip as soon as it’s visible with the use of high-quality concrete.
Epoxy is also an ideal option for concrete coatings. It can smooth out a cracked and pitted floor, making it look brand new. Plus, it greatly increases the floor’s light reflectivity, potentially increasing production efficiency.
