What’s one of the keys to a successful storage unit business? You might not say the flooring, at first thought. But the flooring in a storage unit business actually does impact this type of business. Let’s look at how. Self-storage facilities see constant traffic from carts, pallets, and heavy stored items, which can quickly wear down bare concrete floors. While concrete slabs are strong, they can still crack, stain, and generate dust over time without proper protection. Applying a high-performance concrete coating such as epoxy creates a seamless and durable surface that protects the underlying slab. Epoxy flooring systems resist abrasion, impact, and chemicals, making them ideal for busy storage facilities. These coatings also help reduce dusting and make floors easier to clean and maintain. For facility owners, a coated floor improves the overall appearance of storage units and creates a more professional environment for tenants. Durable flooring can also reduce long-term maintenance costs and extend the service life of the concrete slab. In climate-controlled storage units, protective coatings help maintain a cleaner and more hygienic space. High-performance coatings such as epoxy or polyurethane systems provide long-lasting protection in demanding environments. Choosing the right flooring system ensures storage units remain durable, functional, and visually appealing for years.
When people rent a storage unit, its security is the most important thing on their minds. They want to be able to leave their items unattended for weeks, months or years at a time, and have them remain in good shape. The items should be unaffected by weather or temperature. The items should not be damaged by moisture seeping through the facility’s walls or floor.
And for the business owner, the floor should not have to be maintained very often. After all, doing floor work on a storage business means not being able to rent out units or forcing tenants to change units so that repairs can be made. Choose the right floor from the start, so that maintenance, repair and environmental damage are not a concern.
High-performance floor coatings are perfect for alleviating these concerns. Not only that, high-performance flooring can help you rent your storage facility for more money to business people who have specific needs.
Many existing storage unit floors are concrete. Putting a high-performance floor coating topcoat over your concrete floor will help the concrete last even longer. Flooring systems like Perdure SLE or Perdure HBE are designed to provide a seamless floors that have very high durability.
That means heat and cold temperature changes won’t affect it. Moving heavy boxes or other equipment that someone might store in your unit won’t affect it. Dropping heavy things won’t crack the concrete. And if they are storing anything like chemicals, or even something like cases of wine that might break and spill, those substances won’t affect it.
With a high-performance topcoat, you can rent to commercial businesses that might need services such as battery storage, or a temperature controlled environment where they can store wine, for instance, and you won’t have to worry that an unexpected accident will cause you to have to redo your floors.
