Aircraft Hangar Floors

Overview

Hangar floors carry a different set of demands than almost any other type of flooring: point loads from jacks and tow equipment, constant exposure to jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemicals, and a real need to minimize FOD (foreign object debris) that can damage aircraft. A seamless, chemical-resistant epoxy or polyaspartic system eliminates the joints and porous surface where debris and fluids collect, while high-reflectivity finishes improve visibility and lighting efficiency across large hangar floor areas.

How It's Done

1. 1Assess the hangar for point loads, fuel exposure, and existing slab condition
2. 2Grind or shot blast the concrete to prepare it for a seamless system
3. 3Repair cracks and joints so fuel and fluids can't collect underneath the coating
4. 4Apply a seamless epoxy or polyaspartic base system built for chemical resistance
5. 5Add a high-gloss, high-reflectivity topcoat to improve hangar lighting
6. 6Schedule fast-cure application windows to minimize hangar downtime
7. 7Review maintenance practices to keep the floor FOD-safe long-term

Benefits

• Resists jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemicals
• Rated for heavy point loads from aircraft, jacks, and tow equipment
• Seamless surface reduces FOD (foreign object debris) risk
• High-reflectivity finish improves ambient lighting across large floors
• Fast-cure systems available to minimize hangar downtime
• Chemical resistance protects against long-term slab damage
• Professional, polished appearance for client-facing hangars
• Reduces dust and debris compared to bare or damaged concrete
• Built to hold up to years of heavy aviation traffic
• Minimal maintenance required once installed

Best For

• Private and commercial hangars handling regular fuel and fluid exposure
• Facilities that need to minimize FOD risk around aircraft
• Hangar owners who need work scheduled around tight downtime windows
• Aviation facilities wanting a brighter, more professional-looking floor
