Industrial Concrete



One of the critical expenses a company can ever incur is industrial concrete. It is true that several companies have the left the names of their firms in total tatters because they didn’t carry out proper research before arriving at their choice of the best industrial concrete flooring solution.

Among the factors to consider in arriving at the best industrial concrete floor include:

·         Installation Cost- most companies have incurred a lot in installing industrial concrete floors which are usually proportional to their needs. The average cost is 3 to 7 dollars per square foot of a perfect industrial concrete flooring solution. The actual cost will actually be determined by the decorations and patterns employed.

·         State of the Existing Surface- the most important thing is to determine whether the existing surface has cracks or pits. This directly helps one to determine the thickness required in the industrial concrete floor.

·         Desirable Look- since beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, everyone has a desirable look of their most preferred industrial concrete floor. The overlay system is used to determine and increase the level of beauty, color, patterns and the best mixture.

·         Maintenance Level- the maintenance level you can bear up with depends on your needs. Highly decorative patterns need a higher level of maintenance as they are resistant to strains, dirt and grease.

·         Conditions the Overlay is exposed to- the conditions that the overlay is exposed to directly determine the level of durability and flatness of the industrial concrete floor to be installed. These include freezing, thawing, abrasion, chemicals, and heavy traffic among others.

§         Installation Services- some floor contractors provide some of the best flooring solutions but they don’t offer installation services for their clients.

§         Integrity- this is the level of professionalism, budgets, quality standards applied and the ability of the floor contractor to meet time schedules as agreed.

§         Effective Communication- communication is one of the most fundamental aspects of any transaction. It is therefore important to select a client who maintains a very steady flow of communication with the clients they are serving.

§         Reputation- the reputation of a firm is easily measured through the number of years they have been in service and their achievements. For instance, the Fricks Company has been serving clientele in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean and other islands over the cradle and over this period it has managed to scoop 26 Golden Trowel Awards in the categories of durability and flatness including the prestigious Contractor of the Decade award.
