A hangar floor has to carry the point loads of landing gear, resist aviation fuel and hydraulic fluid, and look immaculate under bright lights. A professionally installed epoxy and polyaspartic system delivers a seamless, fuel-resistant surface engineered for the demands of Houston-area aviation.
Why Hangars Demand a Specialized Coating
General-purpose floor paint cannot survive a hangar. Concentrated tire and jack loads, jet fuel and avgas drips, solvents, and constant rolling equipment will destroy a weak coating in months. Hangars also span thousands of square feet, so a coating must be installed with the consistency and durability that only proper prep and commercial-grade resins provide.
What We Engineer Into a Hangar Floor
Fuel and Chemical Resistance
We specify high-solids epoxy basecoats that resist Jet A, avgas, hydraulic fluid, de-icing chemicals, and solvents. Spills bead on the surface rather than penetrating, protecting the slab and simplifying cleanup. It is the same chemical-resistant philosophy behind our warehouse floor coatings.
Point-Load Durability
Aircraft tires and jack points concentrate enormous load onto small areas. We build the system to a heavy film thickness over a diamond-ground slab so it resists chipping and gouging where the gear sits.
Bright, Reflective Finish
A light-reflective topcoat amplifies hangar lighting, making inspections and maintenance safer and easier. Decorative flake or a clean solid color can also mark walkways and equipment zones — see our flake broadcast options.
Static control available: For avionics work and fueling areas, we can install ESD-controlling systems that dissipate static charge to protect sensitive electronics and reduce ignition risk.
Slip Safety Around Fuel and Fluids
Fuel and hydraulic fluid on a glossy floor is a serious hazard. We tune anti-slip aggregate into fueling and service zones for traction without making the floor hard to clean — details in our anti-slip coating guide.
Installed for Gulf Coast Conditions
Houston humidity and slab moisture can undermine a coating that was rushed. We moisture-test every hangar slab and grind it mechanically so the system bonds for the long haul, avoiding the delamination that plagues improperly prepped floors. For multi-hangar facilities and FBOs, our full commercial coating services handle projects of any scale.
