Built for Performance, Engineered for Longevity

When you run a commercial operation, your floors take a beating — from forklifts, hot water, heavy equipment, and constant foot traffic. Urethane cement floors are designed to handle it all, providing an industrial-grade solution that’s seamless, sanitary, and long-lasting.

At 585 Epoxy Solutions, we specialize in high-performance flooring systems for businesses that can’t afford downtime or failure. Whether you’re managing a food facility, brewery, or warehouse, our urethane cement floors deliver unmatched strength and reliability.


What Makes Urethane Cement Floors Different

Unlike standard epoxy coatings, urethane cement combines cement, aggregates, and urethane resin to form a dense, chemical-resistant layer that bonds permanently to concrete.

Key benefits include:

  • 🧱 Extreme Durability – Handles heavy machinery, hot washdowns, and harsh cleaners.

  • ❄️ Thermal Shock Resistance – Perfect for cold storage, kitchens, and environments with temperature swings.

  • 🧽 Sanitary & Seamless – Non-porous and antimicrobial for clean, compliant facilities.

  • 💨 Fast Installation – Cures quickly, minimizing downtime for your operation.

  • 💧 Moisture Tolerant – Bonds even when concrete isn’t fully dry.


Industries That Benefit from Urethane Cement Floors

Urethane flooring systems are trusted across industries where strength and sanitation are non-negotiable:

  • Food & Beverage Production – Breweries, dairies, and bottling plants

  • Commercial Kitchens & Restaurants – Slip-resistant and easy to clean

  • Pharmaceutical & Laboratory Facilities – Seamless surface to prevent contamination

  • Manufacturing Plants & Warehouses – Resistant to impact, abrasion, and chemicals

  • Cold Storage & Freezers – Performs flawlessly under extreme conditions


Urethane Cement vs. Epoxy: When Durability Matters Most

Epoxy systems look great and perform well in many environments, but when the demands are higher — urethane cement outlasts and outperforms.
It’s ideal for facilities that need:

  • Constant hot washdowns

  • Exposure to acids or caustic cleaners

  • Heavy forklift traffic

  • Moisture-prone conditions

If your business requires a flooring solution built to last over a decade under pressure, urethane cement is the superior choice.


Invest in the Right Floor, Not Just a Quick Fix

While urethane cement systems come at a slightly higher initial cost, they deliver exceptional long-term value. With minimal maintenance, these floors often last 10 to 20 years, saving money on repairs and downtime.

When installed by certified professionals, you get a floor that’s built to last — and built for your business.
