Serving Gilbert and nearby communities.

Forklift traffic, pallet jacks, and dropped loads chew through a standard epoxy coating fast. Gilbert Epoxy Elite builds warehouse floor systems thick enough to handle that traffic and the heat that radiates through a metal building roof during a Gilbert summer.

We look at your traffic patterns before we quote anything. A floor that only sees foot traffic needs a different build-up than one running pallet jacks eight hours a day, and we spec the coating thickness and topcoat accordingly.

FAQs

Warehouse Floor Coatings FAQs

How thick does a warehouse coating need to be for forklift traffic?

Forklift-rated systems typically run thicker than standard epoxy, built up in multiple layers for impact resistance.

Can you coat around existing racking and equipment?

We can work in sections or schedule around equipment relocation if needed.

How long before forklifts can run on the new floor?

Most systems cure enough for light traffic within 24-48 hours, full cure within a week.

Does the coating resist oil and fuel spills?

We use chemical-resistant base coats designed for oil, fuel, and common warehouse chemicals.

Can you add aisle markings during the same job?

Line marking is typically done as part of the topcoat stage.

What if our slab has existing cracks from settling?

We treat cracks and joints before coating so they don't telegraph through or cause early coating failure.
