Duraguard Protective Coating Solutions
Commercial & Industrial Concrete Floor Systems & polishing
Aviation and aircraft maintenance facilities demand flooring systems that go far beyond standard commercial coatings. Duraguard Protective Coating Solutions specializes in aircraft hangar floor coatings for private, commercial, and military aviation facilities throughout Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Our hangar floor coating systems are engineered to withstand the unique demands of aviation environments — jet fuel exposure, hydraulic fluid spills, heavy aircraft loads, and the need for highly reflective, cleanable surfaces.
Proper drainage is another crucial aspect of hangar flooring. Without adequate drainage, water can pool, leading to slips and potential damage to the flooring. Sloped surfaces or integrated drainage systems can mitigate these risks significantly. It’s essential to assess the specific needs of each facility to design a flooring system that not only meets operational requirements but also enhances safety.
In addition to the fundamental characteristics, the design of aircraft hangar floor coatings should also consider environmental factors. For instance, the local climate can influence the choice of flooring material, as extreme temperatures may cause expansion and contraction. Professionals recommend using materials that can tolerate these changes without compromising structural integrity. Furthermore, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor; flooring systems that are environmentally friendly not only help reduce the carbon footprint but often provide better long-term performance.

Why Choose Aircraft Hangar Floor Coatings? Our specialized systems are designed to meet the demanding needs of aviation facilities.
Our expertise in aircraft hangar floor coatings ensures that your facilities are equipped with the best flooring solutions available.
Aircraft hangar flooring in Wisconsin must perform under conditions that standard epoxy systems simply cannot handle. From single-engine prop planes to corporate jets and military aircraft, the flooring beneath your aircraft needs to resist fuel and chemical exposure, support extreme point loads from aircraft jacks and ground support equipment, and maintain traction for ground crews working in all conditions.
In addition to traditional floor care, advancements in technology have introduced smart flooring systems that can provide real-time data on wear and tear. These systems can alert maintenance teams to potential issues before they become critical, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Moreover, the importance of regular maintenance cannot be overstated. Implementing a routine maintenance schedule ensures that the flooring remains in optimal condition, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining safety standards. Simple practices such as regular cleaning, inspections, and addressing minor repairs promptly can prevent larger issues from developing and help maintain the aesthetic appeal of the hangar.
Duraguard’s aircraft hangar flooring systems are installed over properly prepared concrete surfaces — shot blasted or diamond ground to ICRI profile standards — ensuring maximum adhesion and a bond that holds up under decades of demanding aviation use.
We do not subcontract. Every aircraft hangar flooring installation is performed by our own trained crews, giving you consistent quality and a single point of accountability from start to finish.
Hangar Floor Coating Systems We Install
Understanding the specific environments where these coatings will be applied is essential. For instance, in hangars that house older aircraft or those frequently undergoing maintenance, it may be beneficial to choose a flooring system that provides additional cushioning to reduce noise and impact on machinery and personnel. Similarly, facilities that operate under a high volume of air traffic might prioritize flooring systems that are durable enough to withstand constant foot traffic and vehicle use.
Duraguard offers several flooring systems specifically suited to aircraft hangar environments:
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings — Our top recommendation for aircraft hangars. Fast-cure, UV stable, and highly resistant to jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemicals. Returns your hangar to service in as little as 24 hours with minimal downtime.
These polyaspartic floor coatings offer another distinct advantage: versatility in aesthetics. They can be tinted or finished to match the branding of the aviation facility, enhancing the overall appearance and professionalism of the environment. This attention to detail can make a lasting impression on clients and visitors.
Epoxy Floor Coatings — A proven system for general aviation hangars and maintenance bays. Available in high-build broadcast and self-leveling formulations. Excellent chemical resistance and easy to clean.
In addition, epoxy floor coatings can be made to meet specific slip-resistance criteria, ensuring safety in areas where liquids are frequently present. This is particularly important in regions where oil or fuel spills are common, as it helps prevent accidents and injuries.
Urethane Topcoats — Applied over epoxy basecoats to provide additional chemical resistance and a high-gloss, light-reflective finish that improves visibility in your hangar.
Occupants of the hangar will appreciate the brightness and cleanliness that urethane topcoats provide, not only improving visibility but also enhancing morale. A well-lit environment can boost productivity, making the hangar a more pleasant place for employees to work.
Decorative Metallic and Flake Systems — For corporate hangars, FBO facilities, and private aviation facilities where aesthetics are a priority alongside performance.
The decorative metallic and flake systems can also include unique designs or logos to personalize the space further. This is particularly appealing for corporate hangars where brand identity is vital, allowing companies to showcase their image even within operational spaces.
