Why Hangars Need a Coated Floor
Aircraft hangars combine very large floor areas, heavy loads, fuels, oils and hydraulic fluids, and continuous maintenance activity. Bare concrete absorbs spills, sheds dust onto sensitive equipment and stains easily. A properly specified epoxy system seals the slab, resists the fluids it will be exposed to and provides a bright, clean surface that supports inspection, safety and a professional appearance.

What We Install in Hangars
- Seamless chemical-resistant epoxy and polyurethane systems
- Taxi guide lines, tow paths and equipment and safety zones
- Joint and crack repair suited to heavy wheel loads
- Drainage details and cove base where required
- Light, reflective colours to improve visibility
Matching the System to Your Operation
Hangars are not all the same. A private jet hangar, a flight school and a maintenance facility use different fluids, loads and cleaning methods. We review what is used on the floor, how aircraft and equipment move and how the floor is cleaned, then recommend a system. We are upfront about performance limits and discuss any specific fluid requirements before work begins.
Tell us what is on your floor. Fuels, hydraulic fluids, de-icing chemicals and cleaners all affect system choice. Share what you use and we will specify to suit.
Preparation and Repair
Large hangar slabs often have joints, cracks and areas of oil contamination. We grind or shot blast to remove contamination and open the surface, repair joints and cracks with materials suited to heavy wheel loads, and prime before coating. Where oil has soaked deep into the slab, we explain how it affects adhesion and what options exist. See our concrete repair service.
Timeline and Pricing Factors
We quote hangar projects in writing after a free site assessment. The main factors are:
- The floor area, often very large
- Concrete condition, joints and oil contamination
- Chemical resistance and load requirements
- Markings, drains and detailing
- Phasing around aircraft movements
