Ask Us Before You Start: Your Go-To Guide
Starting a project can be overwhelming, especially the technical side of flooring and safety. Below are answers to the questions we hear most, organized so you can find yours quickly.
I have broken or heaved concrete in my facility. What can I do?
Zimcoat repairs and restores concrete surfaces to eliminate trip hazards and re-establish a safe walking and working surface.
My floor is slippery because of oil, animal waste, or water. How do I prevent slips and falls?
We install slip-resistant surfaces matched to the specific contaminant in your environment, whether that's oil, animal waste, or water.
Broken concrete is damaging my equipment and creating safety issues. What should I do?
Repairing the concrete removes the jolts and impacts that damage wheels, axles, and product, and reduces the risk of tipping accidents.
How do I organize my facility for optimal safety and efficiency?
Zimcoat's 5S solutions mark clear driving lanes for forklifts, designated material storage areas, and pedestrian safety zones.
How can I control dust in my warehouse?
Concrete sealing and polished concrete control dust at the source, make cleaning easier, and improve the appearance of the space.
How can I improve the appearance of my facility's floors?
Slip-resistant decorative epoxy floors work well in cafeterias, labs, corridors, and garages — functional and attractive.
What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane, and where should each be used?
Epoxy suits heavy-duty industrial environments because of its durability and chemical resistance. Polyurethane is more flexible and better suited to areas with UV exposure and thermal cycling. We help you choose based on your specific conditions.
Our chemical containment areas are corroded and delaminating. Is it too late to fix them?
It's rarely too late. Zimcoat rebuilds, repairs, and restores containment areas to like-new condition using repair materials and protective coatings suited to the chemicals involved.
We have an upcoming audit. Can you help us get ready?
Yes — we can work nights and weekends to repair floors and bring a facility into compliance with food, pharmaceutical, or health-and-safety standards before an audit.
How do I protect floors from damage in harsh environments like dairy, chemical, or heavy-traffic areas?
Specialized coatings resist chemicals, animal by-products, waste, and heavy traffic, extending floor life and keeping surfaces safe.
