Warehouse Flooring Options for Sydney Centers

Distribution and fulfilment centres used for warehousing merchandise are the hottest commercial real estate in the country. Over the past five years, we have seen an explosion of large square footage buildings in the New York and New Jersey markets. This is directly correlated with our evolving consumer market and demand of next day shipping options seen in Amazon, Wayfair and other large online retailers.

Knowing this, the commercial real estate market has put a premium on the cost of new warehouse space, and the overall condition of the corresponding epoxy flooring Sydney. The high-demand has also created an opportunity to repurposed and revitalize older buildings for the same use. We have seen factories, manufacturing plants, even retail stores knock walls down and refurbish the existing space to accommodate for rack systems and daily forklift traffic.
The warehouse and distribution market is synonymous with speed and consistency of deliveries. This includes limiting the loss of product, minimizing downed equipment, employee safety and easy to identify floor plans.

So what, or more aptly said how do investors and new facility owners prepare themselves for transforming one of these older buildings and how can an epoxy flooring contractor help meet the above-outlined goals?
From repairing floors where walls are demolished to filling years of damage, there are products designed to meet your flooring repair. Having experience in the warehouse flooring industry, epoxy flooring contractors know their clients’ goals and will specify an industrial-strength two coat seamless flooring system. The first coat typically consists of high-solid epoxy resin to both build a wear surface and fill imperfections from years of use. Epoxy flooring allows installers the ability to pour a floor over badly abused surfaces filling in the depressions left from previous abuses and impacts.

After applying an epoxy coating system, an aliphatic urethane is typically installed to offer a scratch and abrasion resistant topcoat. Specifically, urethane’s are best for avoiding tire transfer from forklift traffic and staining while maintaining sheen. Material providers estimate that a urethane topcoat will offer an epoxy floor system up to four times the life of a standard epoxy.
Beyond the typical seamless floor system described above your epoxy flooring contractor may provide options for your specific need. This might include a chemical resistant epoxy for your battery charging stations, a fast cure system to get an aisle back into service overnight, or even a one-coat system to act as a dust proofer. Other add-ons can be included such as line striping to delineate pedestrian and forklift traffic or egress walkways. Custom textures are also available to include additional anti-slip or a totally smooth surface to accommodate a conveyor or automated system depending on your facilities needs.
Warehouse and distribution facilities keep up with hundreds of thousands of orders, picking and packing items and pallets on a daily basis and not losing time where your seamless flooring is concerned is paramount to any facility. Maintaining or refurbishing an existing warehouse floor will allow your staff and operation to stay on task while minimizing equipment and flooring repairs and maximize production and consistency of your process.

At this project in Sydney, NSW, we were brought in for the specific purpose of creating a seamless and durable floor system capable of withstanding heavy forklift traffic. What made this project so unique was the fact that each of the previous tenants’ spaces existing floors was constructed of different building materials. One area was brick, the next a concrete slab and the last had a Belgium block border. With over thirty years of experience in the seamless flooring industry, High Performance used multiple products to restore the pre-existing surfaces prior to installing the warehouse epoxy floor system described above.
High-Performance Systems specializes in retrofitting existing spaces for our clients’ purpose. Beyond servicing the warehouse and distribution markets we offer production shut down services and have a vast catalogue of case studies for all markets where epoxy flooring is needed.
