Clean Floors for a Lab Town

Epoxy flooring in Burlington has a different commercial flavor than most Triad cities. Labcorp keeps its headquarters and testing operations here and employs more than 5,000 people in Alamance County. Labs, clinics, sample-handling rooms and the businesses that support them all want floors that are seamless, cleanable and resistant to chemicals.

Floors for labs and clinical work

A seamless epoxy or urethane floor leaves no grout lines or seams to trap spills. Coved edges run the coating up the wall a few inches so mopping water cannot creep under baseboards. For spaces that see disinfectants daily, we specify a topcoat rated for the chemicals you actually use, and we ask to see the product list before we quote.

A railroad and textile past

Burlington began as Company Shops, where the North Carolina Railroad put up 57 buildings between 1855 and 1859, and the area later held dozens of cotton mills. The city now has six National Register historic districts, including Lakeside Mills. Converted mill and shop buildings often have old, uneven slabs with oil or dye stains. Expect grinding, patching and possibly a leveling layer before a coating goes down.

Hot July garages

Burlington's July average high is 89.7 degrees, and an attached garage with the door shut can run hotter. Heat speeds up epoxy cure time, which shortens working time on install day. We mix in smaller batches and start early in summer. Once cured, a polyaspartic topcoat resists the hot-tire softening that ruins thin garage paints.

Rain spread through the year

About 47 inches of rain fall in a typical year, fairly evenly by month. Wet cars and muddy shoes come into the garage in every season. Texture in the topcoat matters more than gloss for a floor like that.

Burlington Questions

What floor works for a lab or clinic in Burlington?

Usually a seamless epoxy or urethane system with coved edges and a chemical-resistant topcoat. We check your cleaning products and process before we recommend one.

Can you coat an old mill building with stained concrete?

Often, after grinding and patching. Deep stains and uneven slabs may need a leveling layer first, and we will explain that up front.

Does summer heat affect installation?

Yes. Heat cuts the working time of epoxy, so on hot days we begin early, keep each batch small and monitor the slab temperature.

Can you add a cove base along the walls?

Yes. A cove base carries the coating up the wall a few inches, which makes cleaning easier and keeps water out of the joint.
