Engineered Aircraft Hangar Epoxy Flooring for MRO Bays & Tow Paths
Aircraft hangars demand more than generic “industrial epoxy.” Our aircraft hangar epoxy flooring systems are designed to handle fuel exposure, Skydrol® and other hydraulic fluids, de-icers, rubber tire plasticizers, and heavy point loads from aircraft jacks, tugs, and ground support equipment. The result is a seamless, non-slip floor that stays bright, cleanable, and safe under real aviation traffic.
Why Aircraft Hangar Floors Fail
Bare or poorly coated concrete in aircraft hangars often fails because it isn’t engineered for aviation-specific conditions. Common failure modes include:
- Fuel & Skydrol® attack: hydrocarbons and hydraulic fluids etch, soften, and stain unprotected concrete.
- Point loads & wheel loads: jacks, tugs, and landing gear concentrate loads and cause cracking or spalling.
- Moisture & thermal cycling: washdowns, temperature swings, and slab moisture drive delamination and blistering.
- Inadequate surface prep: coatings installed over smooth, contaminated, or weak concrete fail prematurely.
Our hangar flooring systems are specified to address these root causes up front—before a single coat is applied.
Purpose-Built Flooring for Aircraft Hangars
Hangars face corrosive exposure (jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, de-icers), heavy aircraft point loads, forklift abrasion, and frequent washdowns. Standard concrete can spall, dust, and absorb contaminants—raising safety risks and driving up maintenance costs.
Our approach: mechanically profiled substrates (typically CSP 4–6), chemically resistant builds with tuned traction, and integrated details like seamless coves, trench drains, and transitions to improve cleanability and protect walls.
Application Areas — Where Hangar Flooring Matters Most
Maintenance & Aircraft Storage Bays
High-duty epoxy or urethane-cement layers resist chemical attack, support wheel and jack loads, and maintain a safe, non-slip surface for technicians and pilots.
Fuel & Service Stations
Chemical-resistant topcoats handle hydrocarbon spills, Skydrol®, and thermal cycling. Textured zones improve footing around refuelling and service equipment.
Workshops, Corridors & Tow Paths
High-build systems provide abrasion resistance and easy cleanability for carts, tugs, tire traffic, and frequent movements between hangar and apron areas.
Offices & Observation Areas Adjacent to Hangars
Decorative quartz or flake finishes deliver a premium appearance while remaining tough, low-maintenance, and chemically resistant to incidental exposure.
Flooring Systems We Install — Engineered for Aviation
Urethane Mortar (Polyurethane-Cement)
Thermal-shock tolerant, high bond strength, and non-dusting. Ideal for maintenance bays, fuel handling areas, wash bays, and heavy traffic zones.
High-Build Epoxy & Quartz Broadcast
Abrasion- and chemical-resistant builds with adjustable slip resistance. Optional polyurethane topcoats support stain resistance and maintain brightness.
Fast-Cure Polyaspartic
Rapid return-to-service (often within ~24–48 hours) for phased work and hangars that can’t afford extended downtime.
Waterproof Membranes & Seamless Cove Bases
Protects moisture-sensitive slabs and wash zones. Coves and drains reduce chemical buildup, improve cleanability, and help keep contaminants away from walls and structural elements.
Typical Aircraft Hangar Epoxy Flooring Specifications
Exact specifications are tailored to each hangar’s traffic, chemical exposure, and operational requirements, but typical performance ranges include:
| Performance Attribute | Typical Range / Capability |
|---|---|
| Compressive Strength | ~8,000–12,000 psi (system-dependent) |
| Chemical Resistance | Jet fuel, Skydrol®, de-icers, oils and common solvents |
| Surface Profile | CSP 4–6 mechanical preparation for strong adhesion |
| Slip Resistance | Texture tuned to your safety and cleanability targets |
| Service Temperature | Designed for washdowns and ambient temperature swings |
| Return to Service | Fast-cure options available for staged, low-downtime projects |
Aircraft Hangar Flooring Examples — Systems in Action
Our Installation Process — Precise, Documented, Reliable
Every aircraft hangar project begins with a site assessment (moisture testing, joint inspection, pull-off adhesion) so we can engineer the right system for your slab and operating conditions.
- Site Consultation & Testing: Concrete strength, moisture, pH, and adhesion pull tests.
- Substrate Repair: Crack injection, spall repair, and joint replacement (flexible urethane where required).
- Surface Preparation: Shot blasting or diamond grinding to the correct CSP profile.
- Primer & Base: Moisture-tolerant primers and scratch coats for uniform adhesion.
- System Build-Up: Broadcast aggregates, urethane-cement or epoxy builds, coves, and drains.
- Topcoats: Protective topcoats with traction tuned to each hangar operating zone.
- QA & Handover: Adhesion verification, coverage logs, care guide, and written warranties.
Phased installations are available to keep operations moving; we coordinate closely with your facility team to work around aircraft schedules and downtime windows.

Case Study — Vancouver Private Aircraft Hangar
A Vancouver private hangar with fuel etching and concrete spalling in maintenance bays was remediated with crack and spall repairs plus a urethane-cement system with seamless coves and drains. The new aircraft hangar epoxy flooring resists chemical attack, supports aircraft traffic, and reduced cleaning time—improving safety and efficiency for the facility team.
Service Area
We install aircraft hangar epoxy flooring across Vancouver and British Columbia, including Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, and the BC Interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flooring is best for hangar maintenance areas?
Urethane-cement (urethane mortar) or high-build epoxy broadcast systems are most common—they offer chemical resistance, thermal-shock tolerance, and abrasion protection for aircraft maintenance traffic.
How long does installation take?
Fast-cure polyaspartic systems can often handle foot traffic in ~24–48 hours. Full urethane-cement builds typically require several days; we can phase work to maintain hangar operations.
Can you install over existing concrete or coatings?
Yes. Proper assessment, remediation, and mechanical profiling (shot blast or grind) are essential for long-term adhesion on existing concrete or over old coatings.
Are epoxy floors safe and non-slip for hangars?
Yes. We tune texture and aggregate to meet slip-resistance targets in wet and fuel-exposed areas, while keeping surfaces easy to clean and squeegee.
Do you provide warranties and documentation?
Yes—written warranties, QA logs, adhesion reports, and maintenance guidelines are provided with every aircraft hangar epoxy flooring project.
