We offer a range of premium coatings and systems for automotive flooring.
From service bays to showrooms, the automotive industry relies on many different types of facilities, and each of these has particular automotive flooring requirements. Some spaces should focus on aesthetics where others must prioritize durability and resistance to harsh conditions. Either way, it’s important to invest in automotive flooring solutions that are well suited to the function of a specific facility and that ensure safety.
Key Functions:
Component Assembly
Assembly areas are designed for putting together products, parts, or subassemblies. This process may involve manual labor, machinery, or both—requiring a clean, organized, and durable workspace.
Workflow Efficiency
Safety & Ergonomics
The room must be safe for workers, with slip-resistant flooring, designated walkways, and potentially cushioned surfaces for long hours of standing.
Cleanliness & Dust Control
Assembly areas may require dust control or even cleanroom standards. Assembly area flooring should be seamless and easy to sanitize.
Visual Organization & Markings
Durability & Chemical Resistance
Flooring Requirements:
High Load-Bearing Capacity
The floor must support extremely heavy equipment, aircraft components, tooling systems, and vehicles such as scissor lifts and tow carts without cracking or deforming.
Chemical & Fluid Resistance
Floors must resist aviation fluids such as hydraulic oils, jet fuels, lubricants, and cleaning solvents. Chemical-resistant coatings are essential to prevent degradation and staining.
Electrostatic Dissipation (ESD) Options
In areas with sensitive electronic equipment or avionics assembly, ESD flooring may be required to safely dissipate static electricity and protect components.
Moisture Vapor Control
Proper mitigation of moisture vapor transmission (MVT) from the concrete slab is crucial to avoid delamination of floor coatings over time.
Thermal Shock & Temperature Resistance
For areas exposed to temperature variations or spot heating (i.e., welding stations), flooring should be resistant to cracking from sudden thermal changes.
Light Reflectivity
Light-colored, glossy coatings enhance visibility, reduce eye strain, and improve overall lighting efficiency within the facility.
Compliance with Aerospace Standards
Flooring systems may need to align with industry-specific requirements such as FAA, DOD, or ISO standards for aerospace manufacturing environments.

Service Bay Flooring
Service bays are spaces where maintenance, repairs, inspections, and servicing of vehicles take place, so it is essential that the flooring be able to withstand the daily activities and environment of the service bay. The high likelihood of oil, fuel, and solvent spills means automotive flooring in a service bay must be resistant to chemicals. The floors should also be able to support heavy loads since vehicles and equipment are held in service bays.
Showroom Flooring
In showrooms, automotive flooring should be durable to support the vehicles parked on it, but it’s also important to consider aesthetics. After all, showrooms are meant to encourage purchases, so clean, aesthetically pleasing floors need to make the cars and your business’ brand look their best.
