A Working Town Needs Working Floors

Epoxy flooring in Robesonia often goes into a shop. This borough was built on iron. Furnaces ran here from about 1794 to 1927, and Henry P. Robeson, who founded the Robesonia Iron Company in 1845, founded the borough itself in 1855. The Robesonia Furnace Historic District has been on the National Register since 1991. Work still drives the town: among its largest employers are C&S Wholesale Grocers, Magnatech International and Snap-On Tools.

Home shops and garages

In a town with that kind of work history, plenty of garages double as workshops. Those floors take more abuse than a parking spot:

Dropped tools and steel parts that chip weak coatings
Oil, grease, solvents and brake fluid
Rolling toolboxes, jacks and engine stands
Welding spatter and grinding grit

For a working garage we build thicker. That usually means a ground and repaired slab, a full epoxy base, a heavy flake broadcast and a chemical-resistant topcoat. An epoxy flake floor built that way shrugs off spills that would stain bare concrete for good, and the texture keeps footing sure when the floor is wet or oily.

Commercial and light industrial floors

Robesonia sits on US 422, which follows Penn Avenue through the borough, 11 miles east to Reading and 15 miles west to Lebanon. Businesses along that corridor include shops, small warehouses and service spaces. Commercial and industrial floor epoxy gives those floors a surface that sweeps and scrubs clean, resists forklift and cart wear, and can be striped for aisles and work zones. We scope commercial work after a walk-through and can phase it around your hours.

Winter in western Berks

Robesonia has a hot-summer humid continental climate. The average January temperature is 29.3°F, so garage slabs spend much of the winter near or below freezing while melting slush sits on them. Salt water that soaks into bare concrete can lead to scaling and pitting near the door. A sealed floor keeps that water on top.

Summers average 74.2°F in July, with humid air that can condense on cool basement and garage slabs. We watch slab temperature and humidity on install day and will move the date rather than coat a floor in bad conditions.

Older homes near the furnace district

Houses from the furnace and early borough years often have old basement floors with cracks, patches and paint. Robesonia's population was 1,203 in 1920 and 1,570 by 1940, so a good share of the town's homes are pre-war. Those basements get a moisture test and concrete crack and floor repair before any coating.

Robesonia Questions

Will an epoxy floor hold up in a garage I use as a workshop?

It will if it is built for it. We grind and repair the slab, use a full-thickness base, and finish with a chemical-resistant topcoat. Thin roll-on kits are what chip and peel under shop use.

Can you coat a small warehouse or service bay in Robesonia?

Yes. We walk the space first, check for moisture and damage, and write a scope that can be phased around your hours. We can add line striping for aisles and work areas.

Can you install in winter?

Heated garages, basements and shops can often be done in colder months. Unheated garages are best done when slab temperatures are in the product's range. We check on the day and reschedule if needed.
