Project Spotlight: Transforming Industrial Builders’ Airplane Hangar with High-Performance Concrete Coating in Caldwell, Idaho

January 1, 2024

We recently had the pleasure of working with Industrial Builders at the Caldwell Airport to revitalize their newly built airplane hangar, covering an impressive 10,100 square feet. This project was all about providing a robust, functional flooring solution that could withstand the demands of a busy hangar while looking great. Our relationship began earlier this year when an office employee at Johnson Thermal Systems found us through a search for “Painters Near Me.” After being impressed with our interior painting work, the owner of Industrial Builders decided to have us quote for a concrete floor coating, leading to this exciting project.

Here’s What We Did:

Surface Preparation: We kicked things off with a thorough cleaning of the concrete and filled the saw joints using a semi-flexible polyurea joint filler. This preparation ensured a seamless and durable finish, which is crucial in a high-traffic area like an airplane hangar.
Layered Application:
First Coat: We applied Key 503 primer, which penetrates the concrete, limits off-gassing, and offers moisture protection.
Second Coat: Next, we added a 100% solids epoxy called Key Resin 515 in light grey, which serves as an intermediate body coat to enhance the floor's durability.
Final Coat: Finally, we topped it off with a high-performance, UV light-resistant aliphatic polyurethane coating, also in light grey with a glossy finish. To boost scratch resistance, we mixed aluminum oxide into the final layer, ensuring the surface would hold up well under the wear and tear of an active hangar.

Project Impact

The newly coated hangar floor not only enhances the aesthetics of the space but also meets the rigorous demands of an airplane hangar environment. By choosing high-performance coatings, Industrial Builders ensured a flooring solution that provides both durability and ease of maintenance, creating a safe and professional workspace.
