We provide high-quality commercial floor coatings that protect service bay flooring.

 

Service Bays:

Service areas or service bays are designated spaces within automotive, industrial, or commercial facilities where maintenance, repairs, inspections, or servicing of equipment, vehicles, or machinery take place. These spaces are engineered for heavy use, durability, safety, and efficient workflow.

Key Functions:

Vehicle Maintenance & Repair
Routine services: oil changes, tire rotation, brake service, and fluid checks. Diagnostics and repair of mechanical and electrical components.
Heavy Equipment Accommodation
Supports vehicles of various sizes, including trucks, SUVs, and specialty fleet vehicles, which require space and structural support for lifts and hoists.
Tool & Equipment Integration

Houses specialized tools, compressors, diagnostic systems, and hydraulic lifts. There must be designated areas for tool storage, workbenches, and alignment equipment.

Efficient Workflow & Safety

Supports fast, organized vehicle flow in and out of bays by incorporating clear safety zones and pathways for technicians and equipment.

Fluid Handling & Waste Management

Includes systems for dispensing and collecting oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, and more. Integrated containment and drainage for spills and runoff.

Durable, Chemical-Resistant Surfaces

Service bay flooring and wall finishes must withstand oils, fuels, coolants, brake fluid, and cleaners. Non-slip, easy-to-clean surfaces are essential for safety and hygiene.

Lighting & Ventilation

Must be well-lit spaces for precision work and have ventilation systems for fume extraction and temperature control.

Compliance & Safety Standards

Meets OSHA and local building code requirements for commercial service environments. Fire-resistant materials, eyewash stations, and emergency shutoffs.

Flooring Requirements:

Heavy Loads — Equipment and Vehicle Traffic

These bays maintain heavy loads such as vehicles and lifts. The flooring system applied to the surface concrete must offer a high compressive strength to support these loads and not damage substrate surfaces.

Chemical Resistance

Frequent chemical spills of oils, fuels, and solvents are expected here. Oils can cause surface degradation and slick, unsafe conditions. Fuels can break down certain coatings and solvents are highly aggressive and can quickly eat through weak surfaces.

Abrasion Resistance

Repeated dragging, dropping, and rolling of tools and equipment can wear down unprotected service bay flooring. Without abrasion resistance, floors quickly show signs of scratches, gouges, and surface erosion, leading to safety risks and higher maintenance costs.

High Moisture and Temperature Swings

Moisture vapor transmission from the slab along with temperature swings can cause blistering, bubbling, or delamination of any coatings applied.
