A Root Cause Of Damage To Concrete Floor Joints
October 31, 2018
Concrete is the ideal choice of flooring for industrial buildings, particularly warehouse and large manufacturing facilities as it provides a tough and durable surface to operate on. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect nor is it indestructible when man and machine are let loose on it. Anyone who has worked in a busy warehouse or production facility will have come across damaged floor joints, you may have experienced a bumpy ride over them in your forklift truck.
If you have worked in an industrial or commercial building where an exposed concrete floor is the surface the business operates from, then you have probably come across crazing. It is an irregular pattern of fine cracks in the concrete which is known as surface crazing.
All concrete industrial floors will require maintenance. Particularly those in warehouse and busy factory operations, with the design of the floor and how it is used determining how much maintenance may be needed.
