Epoxy cove base creates a seamless, monolithic transition between the floor and the wall, eliminating the right-angle joint where dirt, moisture, and bacteria accumulate. In food processing, pharmaceutical, and healthcare environments, a properly installed epoxy cove base is often required by health codes. It also prevents water infiltration and makes routine cleaning dramatically easier.

Joint repairs using semi-rigid concrete joint filler should be completed in saw-cut control joints before applying any resinous coating system. Without proper joint repair, forklift and pallet jack wheels chip the coating edges, leading to spalling and premature floor failure. T.W. Hicks specifies the right joint filler based on your traffic load and thermal cycling conditions.

A structured floor maintenance program typically includes annual inspections, touch-up repairs every 1–3 years depending on traffic, and a full recoat every 7–15 years in high-traffic settings. Proactive floor maintenance is significantly more cost-effective than reactive replacement. T.W. Hicks offers customized maintenance agreements aligned to your usage patterns and budget cycle.

Line striping involves applying durable, OSHA-compliant markings to finished floor surfaces to designate pedestrian walkways, vehicle lanes, safety zones, and emergency egress paths. For industrial and warehouse facilities, line striping is a workplace safety requirement. Integrating line striping into your coating project allows us to use compatible topcoat-grade materials that resist forklift abrasion and chemical cleaning agents.
