1. Seamless and low-maintenance surfaces

Epoxy transportation flooring solutions create a seamless and smooth surface, minimizing trip hazards and facilitating easy cleaning. In transportation facilities with high foot traffic, such as airports and train stations, this feature is invaluable as it simplifies maintenance and ensures a safe environment for passengers.

2. Resistance to chemicals and abrasion

Transportation facilities often deal with spills from fuels, oils and other chemicals. Epoxy transportation flooring solutions’ resistance to these substances makes it an ideal choice, protecting the underlying concrete and maintaining its appearance even in demanding environments.

3. Fast installation and downtime reduction

Time is of the essence in transportation facilities, and epoxy transportation flooring solutions offer quick installation with minimal disruption. It cures rapidly, reducing downtime and allowing the facility to resume operations promptly.

1. Combining epoxy and urethane transportation flooring solutions in transportation facilities can create a powerful flooring system that capitalizes on the unique strengths of each material. This combination ensures durability, safety and long-term performance in environments with heavy foot and vehicular traffic. 

    

   Below are some key ways our professionals at COAT Systems achieve the best application of epoxy and urethane transportation flooring solutions in transportation facilities:

    

   • Strategic placement: Our experts will determine the areas that will benefit most from each flooring material. For example, we can use epoxy flooring in high-traffic zones, such as entranceways, waiting areas and baggage claim sections, where seamless surfaces and chemical resistance are essential. In areas with heavy vehicular traffic, like bus lanes or loading docks, we can opt for urethane flooring to take advantage of its flexibility and impact resistance.
   • Transition zones: We can utilize the combination of epoxy and urethane transportation flooring solutions in transition zones where different types of transportation come together. For instance, in train stations, we combine epoxy in the main concourse with urethane flooring in the platforms, where the movement of trains and passengers is more pronounced.
   • Safety and slip resistance: We can incorporate urethane flooring in areas where slip resistance is critical, such as boarding platforms, ramps, and stairs. Urethane’s excellent traction properties help reduce the risk of slips and falls, ensuring passenger safety.
   • UV stability in outdoor areas: In transportation facilities with outdoor sections, like bus terminals or airport aprons, we use urethane transportation flooring solutions due to its UV stability. This will protect the flooring from discoloration and deterioration caused by exposure to sunlight.
   • Elevated platforms: Consider using urethane flooring on elevated platforms in train or subway stations, where the flooring may be subjected to more impacts and vibrations from moving trains.
   • Customization for wayfinding: We can use epoxy and urethane flooring in contrasting colors or patterns to create wayfinding paths for passengers, guiding them to different areas within the transportation facility.
   • Flexibility for expansion joints: In large transportation hubs with expansive floors, epoxy is ideal for filling expansion joints due to its ability to create a seamless surface, while urethane can be used to accommodate joint movement and prevent cracks.
   • Durability and resistance in baggage handling areas: In airport facilities where baggage handling is prevalent, we can combine epoxy and urethane transportation flooring solutions in baggage claim areas and conveyor belt paths to withstand the constant movement and potential spills from luggage.

   By strategically combining epoxy and urethane transportation flooring solutions in transportation facilities, our COAT Systems experts can optimize the benefits of each material, resulting in a flooring system that delivers superior performance, safety and aesthetics throughout the entire space.
