We specialize in high-performance Commercial Epoxy Floor Coatings tailored to the specific demands of Akron industries. We don't just apply coating; we engineer solutions that meet OSHA safety standards, USDA sanitation guidelines, and the aesthetic expectations of your brand. From rapid-curing systems that get you back to business in 24 hours to heavy-duty mortars for industrial abuse, we are the commercial flooring partner Summit County trusts.

Why Commercial Epoxy is the Right Investment

ROI, Safety, and Longevity

Replacing a commercial floor is expensive and disruptive. Our epoxy systems are designed to last for decades, providing a lower lifecycle cost than tile, VCT, or polished concrete.
1. Extreme Durability: Commercial spaces in Cuyahoga Falls and Stow see thousands of footsteps a day. Our 100% solids epoxy and polyaspartic systems are abrasion-resistant. They won't wear down into "traffic paths" like carpet or vinyl.
2. Safety & Liability Reduction: Slip-and-fall accidents are a major liability for Akron business owners. We can customize the texture of your floor—adding aluminum oxide or quartz aggregate—to provide safe traction in wet areas like entryways, restrooms, and kitchens.
3. Sanitation & Compliance: Grout lines in tile floors absorb bacteria and odors. Our seamless epoxy floors create a monolithic surface that is impervious to moisture and easy to sanitize. This makes them ideal for:

Veterinary Clinics: Resists urine and claw scratches.
Medical Offices: Withstands harsh disinfectants.
Food Service: Meets health department requirements for non-porous surfaces.

4. Aesthetic Branding: Your floor is part of your customer's first impression. We can match your corporate colors, embed your logo into the floor, or create designated "zones" for different departments using contrasting colors.

Our Commercial Installation Process

Scheduled Around Your Business Hours

We know that "time is money." Shutting down for a week isn't an option for most Akron businesses. That is why we offer flexible scheduling and rapid-cure technologies.

Phase 1: Surface Prep (The Loud Part) We use industrial planetary grinders and shot blasters to remove old glues, mastics, or failed coatings. We do this efficiently, using HEPA vacuums to keep dust to a minimum so your stock stays clean.
Phase 2: Repair & Patching We repair spalled concrete, fill control joints, and fix cracks using rapid-set polyurea fillers. This creates a smooth canvas.
Phase 3: The Base System Depending on your needs, we apply a moisture-mitigating primer (crucial for older buildings in Highland Square with damp slabs) followed by the high-build epoxy base coat.
Phase 4: The Rapid Topcoat For businesses that need to open the next day, we use Polyaspartic coatings. These cure in as little as 2-4 hours, allowing for foot traffic almost immediately.

Safety Striping and 5S Floor Marking

Organizing Your Industrial Space

For our industrial clients in Green and Uniontown, flooring is about workflow. We can integrate permanent safety markings directly into the epoxy system. unlike tape that peels up in a month, our markings are part of the floor.

Yellow: Pedestrian walkways and aisles.
Red: Fire extinguisher and electrical panel clearance.
Blue: Work-in-progress or raw material zones.
Green: Safety and first aid stations.

Why Akron Homeowners and Businesses Trust Flake Epoxy Flooring

Local Landmarks, Neighborhoods, and the Akron Advantage

Akron, Ohio is a city with a rich industrial legacy, diverse neighborhoods, and iconic destinations like the Akron Art Museum, Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, and the Akron Zoo. Whether your property is nestled near the historic Highland Square, bustling downtown, or along the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park, maintaining clean, attractive, and durable floors is essential—especially with Northeast Ohio’s changing seasons.

Akron’s Unique Climate and Flooring Challenges

Akron’s weather is known for its humid summers, snowy winters, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. This leads to:

Concrete sweating or dampness, especially in basements and garages
Salt and de-icing chemicals tracked in from winter roads, causing pitting or staining
Expansion and contraction in older concrete slabs, leading to cracks and surface wear

Flake epoxy flooring is specifically designed to address these local challenges. Its seamless, non-porous surface prevents moisture intrusion, resists the corrosive effects of road salt, and bridges minor imperfections in aging concrete. The durable topcoat stands up to heavy equipment, foot traffic from events at Canal Park, and even the rigors of hosting friends after a day at Summit Metro Parks.

Enhance Your Property Near Akron’s Landmarks

Highland Square & West Hill: Older homes benefit from epoxy’s ability to hide existing concrete flaws, adding modern appeal without expensive slab replacement.
Downtown Akron & The University of Akron Area: Businesses, restaurants, and campus facilities enjoy easy-to-clean, eye-catching floors that impress customers and reduce maintenance.
Portage Lakes & Ellet: Lakefront garages and basements stay dry and protected, even during spring thaws or summer storms.
Fairlawn, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls: Suburban homeowners love the customizable flake blends that match their décor and withstand daily family life.

Supporting Akron’s Community with Local Expertise

As an Akron-based business, Unlimited Designs Flooring & Epoxy understands the city’s architecture and construction trends. We’ve completed projects near the Goodyear Theater, in the heart of Firestone Park, and throughout the North Hill and Merriman Valley neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Commercial Flooring Specifics

Can you work overnight or on weekends?

Absolutely. We specialize in "shutdown" projects. We can start Friday evening after you close and have the floor ready for you to reopen on Monday morning.

Is epoxy slippery for customers?

Standard epoxy can be slippery when wet. However, for commercial spaces, we almost always recommend adding a non-slip aggregate to the topcoat. We can adjust the "grip" level based on your specific needs (e.g., heavier grit for a kitchen, lighter grit for a lobby).

How do we maintain the floor?

Commercial epoxy floors are incredibly low maintenance. Daily dust mopping and occasional scrubbing with a neutral-pH cleaner (using a mechanical scrubber for large areas) is all that is needed. No waxing or stripping is ever required.

Does it smell during installation?

Standard epoxy has a slight odor. However, for occupied buildings (like hospitals or office blocks), we use 100% Solids, Low-VOC formulations that have virtually no smell, ensuring your staff and customers are not disturbed.
