Commercial floor coatings can do a lot for your business. They can be customized according to your industry, enhance aesthetic appeal, create a safer environment, and may even be able to help you reduce labor costs. 

Here, we’ll go over the various ways in which floor coatings may be able to help you reduce labor costs for your business. We’ll also highlight the importance of working with an experienced floor coating company in order to achieve this.

#1. Decreased Liability

Of course, floor coatings won’t eliminate the potential for liability. However, they could help to lower the liability costs in your business due to how they decrease the risk of slip and fall accidents. 

When you have a grit additive mixed into your floor coating, you’re giving your floor more traction. You still need to ensure that any spills are cleaned up in a timely manner and that you are on top of any potential risks.

However, since floor coatings make your floors safer to walk on, they help to prevent slip and fall accidents, which decreases liability costs. 

#2. Reduced Overhead Labor Costs

From injuries to turnover to training to absenteeism, businesses have a lot of overhead labor costs to worry about. Floor coatings can help with this by reducing the risk of injury through making the floors throughout your business safer to walk on. 

When people don’t have to worry as much about their safety, they are more likely to be more productive, show up to work, and stick around. 

#3. Added Security

It’s essential that you maintain a safe and secure workplace. This can be costly if you are needing to worry about the condition of your floors. However, a floor coating can help to make your workplace safer and add security with their traction and customizability to industry needs.

#4. Improved Energy Efficiency

A floor coating can improve visibility and the efficacy of natural light. This helps with safety and making it easier for employees to see their surroundings. It can also help to reduce energy costs from not needing as many lights to see well.

Of course, you still need to ensure that you are providing your employees with sufficient lighting to be safe at work. Installing a floor coating is not an excuse to turn a lot of lights off. But it may mean that you can use a little less. And in a business, every little bit adds up.

#5. Easy To Maintain

Maintaining floors can consume a lot of time, energy, and money. It’s essential, as you need to ensure that the workplace is safe and in good condition. Yet, it can be challenging, especially if your industry means that spills and heavy impact are commonplace.

Floor coatings can reduce labor costs associated with maintenance by being easy to maintain. They provide easier sanitization, maintenance, and safety. They prevent moisture, dirt, and debris from being trapped in the floor and spread by traffic. 

#6. Decreased Need For Repairs

In addition to being easy to clean, floor coatings can also reduce labor costs associated with flooring repairs. This is because they are moisture-resistant, chemical-resistant, stain-resistant, and impact-resistant.

Their exceptional durability decreases the risk of floor damage. When you have stronger floors, operations can continue, and are not slowed by having to navigate deteriorating floors/replacing floors/rerouting people, etc.

Ensure That You Work With Professionals 

If you are considering floor coatings for your business, it’s crucial that you work with experienced professionals.

This is because improper application and/or low-quality products can lead to increased expenses, rather than reduce labor costs. With low quality work, you’ll need more frequent replacements and need to pay to repair problems.
