Your floors stop being a problem and start being an asset. No more worrying about chemical spills soaking into concrete or heavy equipment cracking your surface. No more constant repairs disrupting operations.
You get a seamless, non-porous surface that shrugs off everything your business throws at it. Forklifts, dropped tools, chemical spills – your epoxy floor coating handles it all while maintaining a professional appearance that reflects well on your operation.
The high-gloss finish brightens your space, reducing lighting costs and improving visibility for safer, more efficient work. Your maintenance crew will thank you too – dust and debris sweep away effortlessly, and spills wipe clean without staining.
We bring more than 10 years of painting and coating experience to Wixom’s manufacturing and industrial community. We understand what facilities like Moeller Manufacturing, MAC Valves, and the dozens of other precision manufacturers in the area need from their floors.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in floors that protect your equipment, keep your people safe, and maintain their performance for years without constant repairs.
Our approach is straightforward: do the job right the first time so you’ll call us when you need more work done. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Wixom’s industrial corridor, and it’s how we plan to keep growing.
We start with thorough surface preparation because that’s where most epoxy jobs fail. Your concrete gets properly cleaned, degreased, and profiled using diamond grinding or shot blasting. Any existing coatings, oil stains, or contaminants that could interfere with adhesion get removed completely.
Next comes primer application to seal the concrete and ensure maximum bond strength. This step is critical for long-term performance, especially in Wixom’s industrial environments where floors take constant abuse from heavy machinery.
The epoxy system goes down in carefully measured layers, mixed precisely to avoid the chemistry errors that plague amateur installations. We work within the material’s pot life to ensure proper curing and maximum durability. Anti-slip additives get incorporated where needed for safety compliance.
Final curing takes 2-7 days depending on the system, but you get a floor that’s built to last decades, not years.

Your epoxy floor coating system gets customized for your specific operation. Chemical resistance formulated for the substances you handle. Impact resistance engineered for your equipment loads. Slip resistance calibrated for your safety requirements.
Wixom’s manufacturing facilities need floors that can handle everything from precision machining coolants to heavy automotive components. Our specialty coating services include chemical-resistant formulations for facilities dealing with lubricants, solvents, and processing chemicals. Impact-resistant systems for areas with heavy machinery traffic. Anti-static formulations for electronics manufacturing environments.
We also provide custom color schemes and safety markings integrated directly into the floor system. Traffic lanes, hazard zones, and equipment placement areas get marked with durable epoxy striping that won’t wear off or require constant repainting.
The seamless, non-porous surface meets sanitation requirements for food processing areas while providing the chemical resistance needed for industrial applications. One floor system handles multiple facility needs without compromising performance in any area.
Professional epoxy floor coatings typically last 10-20 years in heavy industrial environments when properly installed and maintained. The key factors affecting lifespan are surface preparation quality, material selection, and installation expertise.
In Wixom’s manufacturing facilities, we’ve seen properly installed systems handle decades of forklift traffic, chemical exposure, and heavy equipment without significant wear. The investment in quality materials and professional installation pays off through extended service life and reduced maintenance costs.
Regular cleaning and occasional recoating of high-wear areas can extend the system’s life even further. Most facilities find the long-term cost per square foot significantly lower than alternatives like polished concrete or industrial tiles.
Epoxy paint is a thin, single-component coating that provides basic protection but lacks the durability needed for industrial applications. Professional epoxy floor coating systems use multiple layers of two-component materials that create a thick, chemical-resistant surface.
The chemistry difference is significant – professional systems cure through a chemical reaction that creates cross-linked polymer chains, resulting in superior adhesion, chemical resistance, and impact strength. Epoxy paint simply dries through solvent evaporation, leaving a much weaker surface.
For Wixom’s industrial facilities, professional systems are essential. They handle the chemical exposure, heavy loads, and constant traffic that would quickly destroy paint-grade products. The upfront investment difference gets recovered through extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements.
Most epoxy floor installations require 3-7 days of downtime depending on the system complexity and facility size. Surface preparation typically takes 1-2 days, application takes 1-2 days, and curing requires 2-3 days before full traffic loading.
We work with Wixom facilities to minimize operational disruption through phased installations when possible. Large warehouses can often be sectioned off, allowing partial operations to continue while we work on different areas.
Temperature and humidity affect curing times, so we schedule installations during optimal conditions when possible. Fast-cure systems are available for situations requiring shorter downtime, though they may have performance trade-offs for certain applications.
Professional epoxy systems can be formulated to resist specific chemicals common in manufacturing environments. We evaluate your chemical exposure requirements and select materials accordingly, from basic solvent resistance to specialized formulations for acids, bases, and aggressive solvents.
For Wixom’s diverse manufacturing base, we’ve handled everything from machining coolants and hydraulic fluids to cleaning solvents and processing chemicals. Each facility gets a customized chemical resistance package based on their specific exposure risks.
The key is honest communication about what chemicals you’re dealing with. Some substances require specialized vinyl ester or novolac epoxy systems rather than standard formulations. We’d rather specify the right system upfront than have you deal with premature failure from chemical attack.
Epoxy floor maintenance is straightforward but important for long-term performance. Daily sweeping removes abrasive particles that can wear the surface. Weekly mopping with pH-neutral cleaners keeps the floor clean without attacking the coating chemistry.
Immediate cleanup of chemical spills prevents potential damage, even with chemical-resistant systems. Quarterly inspection of high-wear areas allows early identification of issues before they become major problems.
Most facilities benefit from annual professional cleaning and inspection. We can identify wear patterns, recommend operational changes to extend floor life, and plan preventive maintenance before problems develop. Small touch-ups every few years cost much less than complete system replacement.
Safety features get built directly into the epoxy system during installation. Anti-slip additives provide traction in areas prone to moisture or spills. Colored safety zones and traffic lanes guide equipment and personnel movement.
High-visibility markings for emergency equipment, hazard zones, and exit routes get integrated using contrasting epoxy colors that won’t wear off like painted lines. Reflective aggregates can be incorporated to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
For Wixom’s industrial facilities, we often include OSHA-compliant floor striping for equipment placement, walkways, and safety zones. Static-dissipative formulations are available for electronics manufacturing areas. The goal is creating a floor system that actively contributes to workplace safety rather than just meeting minimum requirements.
