Selecting the right flooring system for an aircraft hangar is a crucial decision that significantly affects the facility’s safety, functionality, and durability. Aircraft hangars require flooring that can support heavy loads, resist chemical spills, and provide a non-slip surface for the storage and maintenance of aircraft. Whether the space is used solely for storing planes or also for maintenance and washing, the flooring must be able to accommodate various demanding conditions.
Resinous flooring is an excellent choice for aircraft hangars, offering exceptional durability and performance in challenging environments. These floors are designed to resist harsh chemicals commonly found in hangars, such as aviation fuels, cleaners, and lubricants, preventing staining and deterioration over time. Resinous coatings facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring that spills and messes do not hinder the hangar’s functionality.
With superior resistance to scratches and abrasions from tools and heavy equipment, resinous flooring can endure the wear and tear of daily operations. Additionally, these flooring systems provide high visibility and reflectivity, which are essential for safety and efficiency in hangar settings. Their non-skid properties help prevent slips and falls, creating a safer environment for both personnel and aircraft.
Considerations for Aircraft hangars:
When considering new or upgraded flooring for your space, there are a few qualities of resinous flooring to consider.
Add Grit for Safety: Enhancing flooring safety is crucial due to frequent exposure to oils, cleaners, and even rainwater from aircraft. Adding grit to your resinous flooring provides a non-slip surface, which is essential to preventing accidents. Grit is broadcast before the final coating is applied and back-rolled to lock it in place. Whether it’s passengers or maintenance workers handling equipment, this added texture prevents dangerous slips, ensuring a safer environment for everyone.
Ensure UV Stability for Long-Lasting Flooring: Aircraft hangars often experience prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause some flooring materials to fade, degrade, or become brittle. To address this issue, choosing a flooring solution that offers UV stability is vital. UV-resistant epoxy flooring will retain its color and structural integrity over time despite regular exposure to harsh sunlight. This helps avoid the risk of fading and ensures your hangar’s flooring remains functional and visually appealing for years.
Add a Urethane Topcoat for Durability: Aircraft hangars require flooring that can withstand heavy use, including the movement of large planes, tools, and ground equipment. A urethane topcoat can provide additional protection to the epoxy flooring, giving it a seamless and glossy surface that resists wear and tear. This topcoat makes the floor easier to clean and maintain, as well as more resistant to damage, which is essential for keeping the hangar running smoothly and minimizing downtime.
Incorporate Marking Lines: Beyond adding traction grit, it’s beneficial to customize the floor with colored lines for designated walkways. These modifications improve both safety and navigation within the hangar. The addition of colored lines helps mark safe paths, storage zones, and high-traffic areas. Clear demarcation of zones aids in smooth operations and prevents accidents.
Consider Chemical Resistance for Aviation Fluids: Aircraft hangar floors are often exposed to harsh chemicals, including jet fuel, oils, and hydraulic fluids. These substances can cause damage to flooring systems that lack proper chemical resistance. To safeguard the longevity of your flooring, it’s essential to select a system that can withstand exposure to these chemicals without deteriorating. Resinous flooring with high chemical resistance is necessary for ensuring that your hangar floors remain intact, safe, and durable under harsh conditions.
Hire Experienced Contractors for Proper Installation: The complexity of installing resinous flooring in an aircraft hangar makes it essential to hire an experienced contractor. Professional installation ensures that all coatings and additives are appropriately applied, achieving the desired results in terms of both safety and aesthetics.
