FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Aerospace & Defense Flooring — Common Questions
What flooring system is best for an aircraft hangar or MRO bay?
High-build epoxy is the standard specification for aircraft hangars and MRO bays. It resists aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, Skydrol, and de-icing chemicals while handling heavy rolling loads from aircraft and ground support equipment. For hangars with hot-tire pickup concerns, we specify formulations rated for that exposure. Urethane cement is an alternative where chemical attack or thermal cycling is more severe — for example, wash-down areas adjacent to maintenance bays.
When is ESD flooring needed in an aerospace or defense facility?
ESD (electrostatic dissipative) flooring is specified for areas where static discharge could damage sensitive electronics, avionics, munitions, or precision instrumentation. Not every area in an aerospace facility requires ESD — it is specified based on the operations performed in that zone. We assess which areas need static control during preconstruction scoping and specify ESD systems only where the operational risk warrants it. Adjacent zones like corridors or general staging typically use standard epoxy or polished concrete.
How do you handle chemical and fuel resistance for hangar floors?
System selection is driven by the specific chemicals your floor is exposed to. Aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, Skydrol, MEK, and de-icing agents each attack flooring differently. We review your chemical exposure profile during preconstruction scoping and specify a system rated for those specific agents — not a generic chemical-resistant coating. High-build epoxy handles most hangar chemical exposure. Urethane cement is specified where thermal cycling or aggressive wash-down compounds the chemical load.
What about cleanroom or contamination-controlled areas within an aerospace facility?
Cleanroom and contamination-controlled areas within aerospace facilities require seamless, non-porous flooring that will not generate particles or harbor contaminants. We specify systems compatible with your cleanroom classification and cleaning protocols. Cove base integration eliminates the floor-to-wall joint where particulate accumulates. ESD properties can be integrated into cleanroom flooring where static-sensitive assembly or inspection occurs. These details are scoped during preconstruction planning, not added as afterthoughts.
How does flooring help prevent FOD (Foreign Object Debris) in aerospace environments?
Deteriorating concrete floors are a FOD source — spalling, flaking coatings, and crumbling joints generate debris that can enter aircraft systems. A properly installed seamless flooring system eliminates those sources. We repair substrate defects before coating, seal joints, and install systems that resist chipping and peeling under heavy traffic and chemical exposure. The result is a cleanable, intact surface that supports your FOD prevention program rather than working against it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
More Aerospace & Defense Flooring Questions
Operational and project planning answers from our engineering team.
How long does installation take, and how much facility downtime should we plan for?
Timeline depends on facility size, zone count, and system selection. Epoxy systems in hangar bays typically require weekend or shutdown-window scheduling to allow proper cure time. Urethane cement sections return to service in hours, making them practical for maintenance windows in active facilities. ESD flooring requires additional time for grounding infrastructure and conductivity verification. We build a zone-by-zone install schedule before work begins so your operations team has no surprises.
Can you work inside an active aerospace facility that cannot be fully shut down?
Yes. Zone-phased installation is specifically designed for facilities that must stay operational. We section off one bay or area, install and cure, then move to the next. We coordinate installation windows with your maintenance schedules, flight operations, and production timelines to minimize disruption. For defense facilities, we work within your security protocols and access requirements throughout the project.
How do you handle security requirements and facility access for defense contractors?
We have experience working within secured aerospace and defense facilities. Our crews follow facility security protocols, badge requirements, and escort procedures as defined by your security team. We coordinate access scheduling, tool and material check-in procedures, and work area restrictions during preconstruction planning. These logistics are built into the project timeline — not treated as surprises that delay work.
Our hangar floors have significant damage from chemical spills and heavy equipment. Can they be repaired?
Most chemically damaged or impact-worn hangar floors can be repaired and recoated rather than replaced, but the failure mode must be diagnosed first. If the substrate is sound, we remove the failed coating, address moisture vapor or bonding issues, and install a system rated for your actual chemical and load exposure. If the substrate is compromised — spalled, cracked, or delaminated — we repair it before coating. We diagnose the condition before recommending a system, not after.
Our facility has multiple zones with different requirements — hangars, cleanrooms, ESD areas, and corridors. Can you handle all of them?
Yes. Multi-zone specification is common in aerospace facilities. We scope each zone independently — high-build epoxy for hangars, ESD systems for static-sensitive areas, urethane cement for wash-down bays, polished concrete for corridors — and coordinate transitions between zones. The preconstruction phase maps every zone, its operating conditions, and the appropriate system. This prevents the common problem of applying a single system across an entire facility when different areas have different performance requirements.
