The Challenge

Industrial floors take constant punishment from forklift traffic, dropped loads, chemical spillage, and thermal cycling. Worn joints, spalled surfaces, and failed coatings create trip hazards, harbour contamination, and only get worse under traffic. Ripping out and re-pouring concrete means shutting down the area for days and losing valuable production or storage space.

A Real Rumford Example
Worn, stained concrete floor in a municipal lift garage Before
The Problem
Worn Municipal Garage Floors

Vehicle traffic, lift loads, oils, and washdown had broken down the original coating, leaving worn, stained, porous concrete and joints that needed rebuilding.

Failed coating · Oil-stained concrete · Damaged expansion joints

Lift garage floor recoated with Belzona and re-striped After — Belzona
The Solution
Recoated With an Anti-Slip Belzona System

Joints rebuilt with 4911 and 4511, slabs primed with tinted 4151, then finished with two coats of anti-slip 5231 and re-striped.

Seamless finish · Chemical resistant · Anti-slip surface

Staged area by area · shops kept operating

Outcomes vary by component, load, and access — contact Rumford Industrial Group for a project-specific assessment.

Warehouse and plant floors, loading bays, bund floors, walkways, and process areas suffer surface wear, spalling, cracking, and chemical attack. Damaged joints and holes spread quickly under traffic, and slippery or contaminated surfaces raise real safety concerns.

Belzona cold-applied floor systems rebuild damaged concrete, resurface worn areas, and provide seamless, chemical- and abrasion-resistant finishes — including anti-slip options. Applied by Rumford Industrial Group, many systems accept foot and forklift traffic within hours, minimising disruption.

Belzona Solutions for This Application
Slip Reduction & Protective Floor Coatings
Safety-focused coatings for slip reduction in high-risk areas (ladder rungs, stair treads, ramps, walkways) alongside durable, aggregate-based coatings for long-term protection of large floor areas like workshops and manufacturing plants.
Concrete & Stone Repair/Rebuilding
Repair composites used for cracks, expansion joints, spalling concrete, stair treads, channels, dry joints, and gratings, including bulkfill systems for large uneven surfaces and deep holes mixed with locally sourced aggregates.
High-Temperature & Chemical Resistant Repair
Specialty epoxy repair materials designed for long-term heat and chemical resistance in areas like chemical bunds, channels, and sumps.
Expansion Joint Repair
Flexible rubber repair materials for creating and repairing concrete expansion joints, offering high build, durability, and elasticity.

What Belzona Can Do for Floors
+
Rebuild worn and damaged floor surfaces
Cold-applied composites restore spalled, eroded, and holed concrete back to a sound, level surface.
+
Bond and grout wear plates and tiles
High-strength adhesives and grouts fix wear plates, tiles, and liners securely to floors without mechanical fixings.
+
Protect floors and drains against chemical attack
Seamless chemical-resistant linings shield floors, bunds, channels, and drains from spillage and immersion.
+
Apply line markings in traffic or storage areas
Hard-wearing marking systems delineate walkways, traffic lanes, and storage bays and stay legible under traffic.
+
Rebuild and reconstruct joint edges or nosings
Re-form broken joint edges, arrises, and stair nosings to stop progressive break-up under wheeled traffic.
+
Replace expansion joint sealant
Flexible rubber materials replace failed sealant while accommodating continued joint movement.
+
Seal and protect over expansion joints
Elastomeric overbanding seals joints against liquid ingress while keeping the surface trafficable.
+
Apply non-slip safety surfacing
Aggregate-loaded coatings raise slip resistance on ramps, walkways, stair treads, and wet process areas.
+
Bond pre-manufactured grip pads or plates
Adhesives secure grip pads and anti-slip plates to steel or concrete with no drilling or hot work.
+
Fix or secure anchor bolts or handrails
Pourable and paste-grade systems anchor bolts, posts, and handrails into concrete with high load-bearing strength.
+
Bond traffic control devices
Fix speed humps, bollard bases, wheel stops, and other traffic devices directly to prepared floor surfaces.
