Industrial Flooring Solutions & Concrete Resurfacing Services
What Are Industrial Flooring Solutions?
Industrial flooring solutions are coating and resurfacing systems applied to concrete substrates to protect, restore, and enhance the performance of facility floors. Unlike residential or commercial flooring products, industrial flooring systems are engineered to withstand the specific combination of chemical exposure, mechanical abuse, thermal cycling, and sanitation requirements that industrial environments impose on their floors every day.
The right industrial flooring solution depends on your facility’s specific needs. A food processing plant requires a seamless, USDA-compliant urethane concrete system that handles thermal shock and chemical washdowns. A warehouse needs a thick, abrasion-resistant epoxy system that holds up under constant forklift traffic. A pharmaceutical facility requires a non-porous, chemically resistant surface that can be sanitized to exacting standards. Duraguard assesses each facility individually and specifies the right system for the job — not just the easiest or least expensive option.
Duraguard's Industrial Flooring Solutions
High-Performance Epoxy Systems
Epoxy floor coatings remain the most widely specified industrial flooring solution for good reason — they are durable, chemical-resistant, seamless, and cost-effective for a broad range of applications. Duraguard installs 100% solids epoxy systems engineered for heavy industrial use, available in a range of thicknesses, colors, and surface profiles to match the specific demands of your facility.
Urethane Concrete Resurfacing
For facilities where standard epoxy is not enough — food processing plants, breweries, commercial kitchens, and high-temperature industrial environments — Duraguard’s Duraclad 903 urethane concrete system provides thermal shock resistance, superior chemical resistance, and long-term durability that outlasts standard epoxy by years. Applied at 3/16 to 1/4 inch thickness, urethane concrete is the industrial flooring solution of choice for the most demanding environments.
Industrial Concrete Floor Resurfacing
Aging, damaged, or deteriorating concrete does not always need to be replaced. Industrial concrete resurfacing is a cost-effective alternative that restores the structural integrity and surface quality of failing concrete without the expense and downtime of full demolition and replacement. Duraguard’s resurfacing systems fill cracks, level uneven surfaces, and create a new wearing surface that extends the life of your concrete slab by decades.
Chemical Resistant Flooring Systems
Facilities handling aggressive chemicals — acids, alkalis, solvents, and industrial cleaning agents — require flooring systems specifically formulated for chemical containment environments. Duraguard’s Durapoxy HP Novolac epoxy and Acidguard systems provide the highest level of chemical resistance available in polymer flooring, protecting your concrete substrate and your facility from chemical attack.
ESD and Static Dissipative Flooring
Electronics manufacturing, data centers, and pharmaceutical facilities require flooring that safely dissipates electrostatic discharge to protect sensitive equipment and processes. Duraguard installs certified ESD and static dissipative flooring systems that meet ANSI/ESD standards for controlled environments.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
When fast cure time and UV stability are priorities, Duraguard’s Durathane PA polyaspartic system delivers same-day return to service, superior abrasion resistance, and a non-yellowing finish that maintains its appearance under UV exposure. Ideal as a standalone system or as a protective topcoat over any epoxy or urethane concrete base coat.
Decorative Industrial Flooring
Industrial environments do not have to sacrifice appearance for performance. Duraguard’s decorative flooring systems — including metallic epoxy, decorative color chip, and stained concrete — combine industrial durability with visual appeal for showrooms, lobbies, fitness centers, and commercial spaces that demand both performance and aesthetics.
Industrial Concrete Resurfacing — When Is It the Right Solution?
Industrial concrete resurfacing is the right approach when your existing slab is structurally sound but the surface is deteriorating, stained, cracked, or no longer meets your facility’s operational requirements. Common indicators that resurfacing is the right solution include:
Widespread surface scaling, spalling, or delamination of an existing coating. Cracks and joints that are widening but not compromising the structural integrity of the slab. Chemical staining or etching that has penetrated the surface but not compromised the substrate. An existing floor coating that has reached the end of its service life and needs replacement. Uneven surfaces or trip hazards that can be corrected without full slab replacement.
Duraguard’s resurfacing process begins with a thorough assessment of your existing slab condition — including moisture testing, adhesion testing, and evaluation of any existing coatings or contaminants. We then develop a surface preparation and resurfacing plan that addresses the specific conditions present in your facility and specifies the right product system for long-term performance.

The Duraguard Process
Every Duraguard industrial flooring project follows the same disciplined process that has produced consistent results for more than 30 years:
Assessment and Specification
We begin with a thorough on-site evaluation of your existing floor condition, operational requirements, chemical exposure profile, traffic patterns, and sanitation needs. From this assessment we develop a written specification that identifies the right flooring system, preparation requirements, and installation approach for your specific situation.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is non-negotiable. Duraguard uses diamond grinding, shot blasting, and mechanical scarification to prepare concrete substrates to the correct surface profile for each coating system. All existing coatings, oils, contaminants, and laitance are removed before any new material is applied. This step is what separates lasting installations from premature failures.
Professional Installation
Our installation crews are trained and experienced in the full range of Duraguard flooring systems. We understand the mixing ratios, application temperatures, humidity requirements, and cure times that determine whether a polymer flooring installation performs as designed. We work around your production schedule, including nights and weekends, to minimize operational disruption.
Quality Assurance
Every installation is inspected against specification before we consider the job complete. Thickness, coverage, adhesion, and appearance are verified before your facility returns to service.
