Aircraft Hangar Floor Coatings in London, Ontario

Aircraft Hangar Floor Coatings in London, Ontario

If your aircraft hangar floor is worn, stained, dusty, cracked, or difficult to maintain, you are not alone. In London, Ontario, private and corporate hangars handle aircraft traffic, tow equipment, rubber transfer, aviation fluids, fuel exposure, sunlight through hangar doors, and daily operational wear and tear. Over time, untreated or poorly protected concrete floors begin to deteriorate, accumulate dust, and become harder to keep clean, safe, and professional-looking.

We install professional aircraft hangar floor coatings in the London area that improve durability, reduce maintenance, and help protect your concrete from ongoing aviation wear while creating a cleaner, brighter, and more dependable hangar environment.

Aircraft hangar floor coatings are ideal for small private hangars, large corporate hangars, aircraft storage areas, maintenance spaces, and aviation facilities up to 35,000 square feet where durability, safety, and long-term performance matter.

Why Aircraft Hangar Floors in London, Ontario, Break Down

Many hangar owners assume industrial concrete is tough enough to handle aircraft and facility traffic without protection. The reality is that hangar floors are exposed to a unique combination of rolling loads, aviation fluids, sunlight, abrasion, and operational wear. These issues are common in private hangars, corporate hangars, and aviation facilities throughout the London, Ontario area. Here is what typically happens:

Aircraft, Tug, & Tow Traffic

Aircraft movement, tow equipment, tugs, service carts, and daily traffic place constant stress on the slab. Over time, this can wear down untreated concrete and expose weak areas.

Fuel, Oil, & Aviation Fluid Exposure

Hangar floors may be exposed to fuel, oils, hydraulic fluids, Skydrol, and other aviation-related contaminants. Without proper protection, concrete can absorb spills and become stained or damaged.

Rubber Transfer & Hot Tire Wear

Aircraft tires and service vehicles can leave rubber transfer marks and wear patterns that affect both appearance and maintenance.

Cracks, Spalling, & Joint Damage

Heavy use and long-term wear can lead to cracks, spalling, worn joints, and uneven transitions that interfere with smooth aircraft traffic.

UV Exposure at Hangar Doors

Sunlight entering through hangar doors can affect some floor finishes over time if the system is not designed with UV stability in mind.
If your hangar floor is dusty, stained, worn, cracked, or difficult to maintain, it is already telling you it needs the right aviation floor coating system.

Our Professional Aircraft Hangar Floor Coating Systems

We install commercial-grade systems designed for long-term performance in Southwestern Ontario.

Most of the floor finishes below are installed as part of a multi-layer epoxy floor coating system. By adding decorative flake, quartz aggregate, metallic pigments, or solid colour finishes, we can adjust the texture, appearance, slip resistance, and durability of the floor depending on how the space will be used.

Aircraft Hangar Floor Preparation in London, Ontario

Proper floor preparation is where most coating failures begin, & where we set ourselves apart.

We do not take shortcuts by coating over damaged or contaminated concrete.

We correct it first.

Many aircraft hangar floor coating projects begin with joint filling, crack repair, spall patching, surface grinding, coating removal, or concrete profiling before the new system is installed.

Common Hangar Floor Problems We Repair

Concrete dusting and surface wear
Cracks, pits, spalling, and surface damage
Control joint wear and joint deterioration
Expansion joint damage
Failed coatings or surface contamination
Rubber transfer and staining
Uneven concrete transitions
Moisture-related concrete issues

Our Preparation Services Include:

Coating removals & concrete grinding
Diamond grinding with single-head & multi-head grinders
Shot blasting for a proper concrete surface profile
Concrete profiling for coating adhesion
Joint & crack cleaning
Concrete crack repair
Spall & surface damage patching
Control joint rebuilds
Polymer & epoxy patch systems
Surface levelling & resurfacing
Polyurea joint fillers
Moisture mitigation systems are used when the application requires
HEPA vacuum dust control
Line striping

Without proper preparation, even the best aircraft hangar floor coatings will fail.

Step-by-Step Aircraft Hangar Floor Coating Installation

Every aircraft hangar floor coating project requires proper surface preparation to ensure the new coating bonds correctly & performs in a demanding aviation environment.

A typical installation process may include:

Removal of old coatings or contaminated surface material where required

1

Diamond grinding or shot blasting to create the proper concrete surface profile

2

Clean and repair cracks, joints, spalled areas, and damaged sections

3

Install a moisture mitigation system where required

4

Apply epoxy basecoat or high-build industrial epoxy system

5

Install a solid colour, quartz broadcast, or anti-slip aggregate system, depending on the selected finish

6

Apply protective urethane, polysiloxane, or other topcoat, depending on the performance requirements

7

Install aircraft parking positions, taxi or tow pathways, safety walkways, equipment storage zones, and hazard markings where required

8

Final inspection & detailed clean-up

9
Depending on the condition of the floor & the coating system selected, projects are completed using the proper preparation & installation process for long-term aviation performance.

What Happens if You Do Nothing?

Hangar floor deterioration does not slow down on its own.

Surface wear becomes more visible
Dust continues to spread
Cracks and joint damage continue to worsen
Fuel, oil, and aviation fluid staining become harder to manage
Cleaning becomes more difficult
Aircraft traffic may be less smooth over damaged areas
The hangar can look older and less professional
Long-term repair costs often increase

Protecting your aircraft hangar floor early is often far less expensive than waiting until major restoration is needed.

Aircraft Hangar Floor Coating Cost in London, Ontario

Pricing depends on:

Square footage
Condition of the existing concrete
Extent of crack, spall, or joint repair required
Moisture mitigation requirements
Fuel, chemical, or Skydrol resistance requirements
Solid colour, quartz broadcast, or anti-slip aggregate system selected
Traffic level and operational demands
Line striping and hangar layout marking requirements
Existing coating removal requirements

Each aircraft hangar floor coating project is evaluated individually to ensure the correct preparation & coating system.

Areas We Serve

We provide aircraft hangar floor coatings in London, Ontario, & surrounding areas, including:

What is the best floor coating for an aircraft hangar?

The best floor coating for an aircraft hangar depends on the condition of the concrete, the type of aircraft traffic, exposure to fluids, and the space’s performance requirements. Most hangars use industrial epoxy coating systems because they provide strong adhesion, durability, and long-term protection. Depending on the environment, the epoxy system can be installed as a solid-colour coating, a quartz broadcast system for added durability and traction, or paired with specialized topcoats for fuel, aviation fluids, UV, and abrasion resistance.

Can aircraft hangar floor coatings resist fuel and aviation fluids?

Yes. Fuel-resistant, chemical-, and aviation-fluid-resistant coating options are available, depending on the environment and operational needs of the hangar.

Are UV-stable topcoats important in a hangar?

Yes. UV-stable topcoats are especially important in areas exposed to sunlight near hangar doors, where long-term colour and finish stability matter.

Can you repair joints and damaged concrete before coating?

Yes. We repair cracks, spalled areas, control joints, expansion joints, and other concrete damage before installing the coating system.

Can aircraft hangar floors include line striping and layout markings?

Yes. Aircraft parking positions, taxi/tow pathways, safety walkways, equipment storage zones, and hazard markings can be incorporated where required.

Are aircraft hangar floor coatings easy to clean?

Yes. Seamless coated concrete floors are easier to clean and maintain than untreated hangar concrete, helping reduce dust and improve the facility’s overall appearance.
