Apparatus Bay Flooring

Durable and Long-Lasting Fire Station Apparatus Bay Flooring

The flooring of apparatus bays must be durable and low maintenance. Fire stations are critical to the safety of the community and they cannot afford to close down bays to make frequent repairs to cracked, worn or badly chipped floors. The best fire station apparatus bay flooring is high performance and designed to withstand the weight of fire engines, constant foot traffic and impact from dropped equipment.

Thermal shock resistance and moisture tolerance may also be needed in apparatus bay flooring, depending on climate. Apparatus bay doors open and close frequently without warning; depending on indoor versus outdoor temperature differences and precipation levels, floors can get exposed to dramatic temperature fluctuations and wet or snowy conditions. Floors with cementitious urethane composition are good options for facilities with these challenging climate conditions, as they are designed to withstand thermal shock and moist, wet environments.

The use of fire engines and various other vehicles and machinery in apparatus bays demands that protective flooring provide optimal industrial-grade performance. Apparatus bay flooring should have excellent tensile and flexural strengths, outstanding abrasion resistance and good compressive strength to ensure long-lived protection of the concrete substrate.

Sherwin-Williams apparatus bay flooring systems are proven solutions that can withstand the harsh environment of a busy fire station.

The seamless nature of our apparatus bay flooring systems eliminates many of the crevices where dirt, street salt, water or other fluids could otherwise enter the concrete slab to cause damage. The seamless surface helps makes it easy to keep the apparatus bay thoroughly clean and ready for action.

We offer apparatus bay flooring products in a variety of colors and blends, gloss levels, textures and with customizable decorative and messaging options.
