Transforming Your Hangar: Why Epoxy Flooring Matters

When you own or manage an airplane hangar you need a flooring solution that can handle more than just foot traffic. Hangars are tough environments: heavy aircraft, fuel and chemical spills, hydraulic fluids variation in temperature and constant movement of machinery. Ordinary concrete or bare floor surfaces will quickly deteriorate. Epoxy flooring provides the durability safety and long-term performance demanded by hangar operations. Durabull Floors specializes in epoxy systems engineered for such extreme applications ensuring your hangar floor remains safe functional and visually professional.

Choosing Durabull Floors: What Sets It Apart

Durabull Floors understands the unique demands of airplane hangars especially in climates like Florida where humidity UV exposure and temperature swings add more stress. Their epoxy and urethane-based coatings resist chemical damage from aviation fuel and hydraulic fluid protect against cracking peeling or bubbling and maintain strong adhesion even under heavy aircraft loads. Slip-resistant finishes are offered to reduce risks of slips or falls and reflective surface designs help improve visibility and lighting efficiency. Durabull also customizes each flooring project by assessing existing concrete condition moisture levels traffic load and environmental exposure to recommend the system that fits best.

Tailored Solutions for Diverse Hangar Needs

No two hangars are exactly alike. A private hangar in Miami may have different usage patterns climate exposure and concrete conditions than a large commercial facility in Orlando. Durabull Floors begins each project with a comprehensive evaluation including:

  • Concrete surface integrity, cracks & repairs needed

  • Moisture content of slab (to avoid peeling or blistering)

  • Expected load: size and frequency of aircraft movements and heavy machinery

  • Environmental exposure: sun/UV light, humidity, salt air (if near coast)

  • Safety needs: slip resistance lighting & visual markers


Using that data Durabull specifies multi-layer epoxy or epoxy/urethane systems with UV protection moisture tolerance and required thickness to withstand heavy loads.

Installation Process: From Prep to Finish

Preparation is just as important as the coating itself. Durabull Floors follows a thorough installation workflow:

Firstly surface preparation: removing previous coatings repairing cracks grinding or shot blasting concrete to ensure proper profile for adhesion
Next moisture mitigation if needed: applying primers or moisture barrier where moisture vapor transmission is high
Then application of epoxy or epoxy/urethane layers in proper sequence including base coat mid-coat and top coat if required
Finishing touches: applying slip-resistant aggregate if needed striping or markings for aircraft paths and ensuring a smooth finish
Curing period: allowing sufficient drying time before heavy traffic to ensure full hardness and chemical resistance

This full process ensures minimal downtime for operations while delivering a floor that lasts.

Benefits: What You Gain When You Go Epoxy with Durabull

When you choose an epoxy flooring system by Durabull Floors for your airplane hangar you gain multiple advantages:

Long-term durability that resists chemical spills impacts heavy loads and frequent use
Reduced maintenance costs: easy cleaning minimal repairs and less frequent replacement
Improved safety via slip resistance and better lighting reflectivity
Enhanced appearance: a clean professional surface that reflects well on your facility
Better environmental performance: UV-stable coatings avoid yellowing or fading even under intense sunlight

Considerations & Maintenance Tips

To get maximum lifespan and performance from epoxy floors you should consider:

Ensure regularly cleaning up fuel spills oils or chemicals to prevent staining or damage
Inspect joints and cracks periodically; repair promptly
Recoat top layer if you notice wear to maintain protective properties
Maintain environmental conditions: control moisture levels and temperature during curing and regular use
Use mats or pads under heavy equipment when stationary to distribute weight and avoid indentation

Conclusion: Investing in Epoxy Flooring with Durabull Is Smart

Airplane hangars are demanding environments. A quality epoxy flooring system from Durabull Floors offers you strength safety and long-term value. By tailoring coating systems to environmental conditions load demands and safety needs Durabull ensures that your hangar floor won’t just survive—it will perform reliably for years. If you’re looking to renovate or build a hangar with flooring that works as hard as you do Durabull Floors is a trusted choice.
