Specialist Resin Flooring for an Airport Hangar
When flooring needs to perform in a demanding aviation environment, durability, safety and practicality are essential. Select Resin recently completed a specialist flooring project within an airport hangar, creating a hard-wearing, easy-to-maintain surface designed to withstand the demands of a busy working environment.
The project involved extensive preparation of the existing concrete floor, followed by a double diamond grind, an epoxy resin coating with anti-slip poly bead, dedicated Ocean Blue walkways and Steel Yellow line markings.
The finished floor provides a clean, professional appearance while clearly defining pedestrian routes and working areas throughout the hangar.
Double Diamond Grinding for Thorough Floor Preparation
Successful resin flooring starts with proper preparation. Before applying the new coating system, Select Resin carried out a double diamond grind to prepare the existing concrete substrate.
Mechanical diamond grinding is an important stage of industrial resin flooring installation. It helps remove surface contaminants, loose material and imperfections while creating a suitable profile for the subsequent coating system.
For a large airport hangar, preparing the existing floor correctly is particularly important. A well-prepared substrate provides the foundation for the resin system and helps ensure the finished floor achieves the required performance and appearance.
Select Resin takes a detailed approach to floor preparation before applying industrial resin coatings, helping to create durable surfaces capable of handling demanding commercial and industrial environments.
Durable Epoxy Coating for an Airport Environment
Following preparation, the hangar floor received an epoxy coating system.
Epoxy flooring is widely used across industrial and commercial environments because it can provide a tough, seamless surface designed to cope with regular traffic and general wear. Select Resin provides epoxy and polyurethane resin coatings for industrial flooring, with different colours, finishes and levels of slip resistance available depending on the requirements of each project.
For this airport hangar project, the epoxy system provided a clean and professional finish while creating a practical surface for the day-to-day operation of the facility.
The result is a flooring system that combines functionality with a highly organised appearance.
Anti-Slip Poly Bead for Improved Grip
Safety was an important consideration within the hangar, which is why an anti-slip poly bead was incorporated into the epoxy coating.
Resin flooring systems can be enhanced with aggregates or poly beads to provide different levels of slip resistance. This allows the flooring specification to be tailored to the environment and the level of grip required.
The anti-slip finish provides additional texture underfoot, helping to create a more secure walking surface within a busy working environment.
For industrial and aviation facilities where people are regularly moving between different areas, incorporating suitable slip-resistant properties into the flooring can be an important part of the overall specification.
Ocean Blue Walkways
One of the standout features of this airport hangar flooring project was the introduction of Ocean Blue walkways.
Rather than simply installing a single-colour floor across the entire facility, the flooring was designed to incorporate clearly defined pedestrian routes.
The Ocean Blue walkways provide a strong visual contrast against the main flooring, helping to distinguish designated walking areas from the surrounding operational space.
Colour can play an important role in industrial flooring. Select Resin provides colour-coordinated flooring solutions and can use different colours to help delineate pedestrian paths, forklift routes, crossings and other areas.
For an airport hangar, this type of visual organisation can help create a more structured working environment while giving the finished floor a modern, professional appearance.
Steel Yellow Line Markings
The project was completed with Steel Yellow line markings, providing further definition throughout the hangar.
Clear line marking is an important consideration for many industrial environments. It can be used to separate areas, identify routes and create a more organised workspace.
The combination of Ocean Blue walkways and Steel Yellow line markings gives the finished airport hangar floor a clear visual layout.
Rather than relying solely on signs or temporary markings, the flooring itself becomes part of the organisation of the working environment.
A Practical and Professional Finish
The completed floor combines several elements into one integrated flooring solution:
- Double diamond grinding and detailed substrate preparation
- Industrial epoxy resin coating
- Anti-slip poly bead for additional surface texture
- Ocean Blue pedestrian walkways
- Steel Yellow line markings
- A seamless, professional finish
- A flooring system designed for a demanding working environment
The result is an airport hangar floor that is both practical and visually organised.
Resin Flooring for Aviation and Industrial Facilities
Airport hangars present a unique set of flooring requirements. The floor needs to cope with regular movement while also providing a safe and practical working surface for staff and other users.
Resin flooring can be particularly suitable for demanding commercial and industrial applications because it can provide durable, seamless and customisable surfaces. Select Resin provides specialist resin flooring across a range of sectors, including aviation and aerospace environments, with nationwide UK coverage.
The ability to customise colours, finishes and slip resistance also makes resin flooring suitable for projects where the floor needs to do more than simply provide a hard-wearing surface.
As demonstrated by this airport hangar project, different colours and markings can be incorporated into the flooring specification to create clearly defined working and pedestrian areas.
