Epoxy Flooring in Faxon, OK

Epoxy flooring in Faxon is mostly about floors that work hard. Faxon is one of the smallest towns we serve, with 114 residents at the 2020 Census and 58 housing units on about 0.3 square miles. It sits on State Highway 36, about 18.3 driving miles southwest of Lawton. Much of the concrete in this area is outside the town limits, in shops, barns and garages on rural property.

What gets parked on a shop floor

A shop slab here might hold a pickup, a stock trailer, a tractor or a lawn mower, sometimes all in the same week. That brings:

• Diesel, hydraulic fluid and grease dripping from equipment
• Heavy tires and steel implements dragged across the floor
• Welding spatter and dropped tools
• Mud and manure carried in on boots and tires

Bare concrete soaks up fluids and turns dark and slick. A coated floor keeps those fluids on top, where you can soak them up or push them out the door.

The coating we use for shops

For a working shop, we install Commercial & Shop Floor Epoxy. It goes down thicker than a typical garage system, using 100% solids epoxy. We can broadcast sand or aluminum oxide into the top layer for grip in areas that get wet or oily. For homeowners who want a cleaner look in a shop that also stores the family car, Epoxy Flake Floors are a good middle ground. For a fast return to service, a Polyaspartic Floor Coating topcoat can cut down the time your equipment sits outside.

Rain, mud and timing

Faxon gets about 28.8 inches of rain in an average year. The wettest months are May at about 4.5 inches and September at about 3.7 inches, according to weather data cited for the town. Those months bring the most mud into shops and barns. Grip matters most on a coated floor during them. They are also the months when we have to watch the forecast closely, because we do not coat a damp slab or let a wet trailer roll in before the floor has cured.

Heat inside a metal building

July in Faxon averages a high of 98.2°F. A metal shop with the doors shut can get even hotter inside. Coatings cure faster in heat, which shortens the time we have to work each batch. On summer shop jobs we start early, mix smaller batches and keep an eye on slab temperature.

Before the coating: the slab itself

Older shop and barn slabs often have wide cracks, broken edges at the door and spots where a heavy load punched through. Our Concrete Crack & Floor Repair work fills and levels those areas first. If part of a barn slab is too broken to coat, we can point that out and coat the sound sections. We also do standard Garage Floor Coating for houses in town, and Patio & Pool Deck Coatings for outdoor slabs.

What to expect on the day

We ask you to move vehicles and loose equipment out the day before. Heavy items that cannot move, like a bolted-down lift or a workbench, we work around and talk through ahead of time. You get written times for walking on the floor, rolling equipment back in and parking loaded trucks.

Shop owners also ask about cleanup. A coated shop floor can be scraped, squeegeed and rinsed. Spilled fluid stays on the surface long enough to soak up with absorbent, so a spill becomes a quick job instead of a permanent stain.
