Commercial floors, and the moisture underneath
This is commercial and industrial floor work — DCs, warehouses and manufacturing plants — engineered for continuous loaded-forklift traffic, not garage-grade coatings. In Atlanta's humid climate the hidden variable is moisture-vapor emission through the concrete: a slab-on-grade can push enough vapor to delaminate a coating from below, so relative humidity is tested (ASTM F2170) and a moisture-mitigation primer is applied before the buildcoat when readings are high.
| Traffic / load | Typical system | Moisture note |
|---|---|---|
| Light commercial (carts, foot) | Thin-film epoxy | Prime if RH elevated |
| Warehouse / medium forklift | High-build epoxy + polyaspartic topcoat | Mitigation primer if RH high |
| DC / heavy loaded forklift | Epoxy mortar or polyaspartic broadcast | Mitigation primer typical on slab-on-grade |
Polyaspartic topcoats let a bay return to service in about a day, which matters in a working distribution center that can't stop shipping.
Who we serve around Atlanta
Distribution centers feeding the region's logistics network, warehouses, manufacturing plants and maintenance shops — commercial and industrial floors, not residential.
What this means for your project
A commercial floor is sized for traffic and for the moisture coming up through the slab — skip the moisture test and the coating can fail early. Share the facility size, daily traffic and slab age, and we'll connect you with an Atlanta commercial floor-coating contractor.
