Wet Concrete Floors? No Sweat!

WET CONCRETE FLOORS?
NO SWEAT!

It’s that wonderful time of year when we transition to cooler mornings with much warmer daytime temperatures. Often this leads to unwanted moisture, both in the air and on the floor. How do we deal with trying times like these?! Why, with fans of course! Curious? Read on, gentle patron!

Control Moisture: Keep Your Facility Dry

Ever heard the term “sweating slab syndrome?” This is caused when a cool concrete surface meets warm, humid air, resulting in condensation (much like a glass of ice water on a hot summer day). Wet concrete is a major slip and fall hazard for both workers and forklifts. Continuous use of high velocity and HVLS fans will increase the evaporation rate, allowing surfaces to dry quickly (in some cases, it may prevent the moisture altogether).

Control Humidity: Keep Your Ceiling-to-Floor Temperature Consistent

High velocity and HVLS fans can help reduce humidity by continually redistributing air and, in turn, evaporating the moisture caught in the air. Protect machinery, product, and the building from corrosion by strategically placing fans throughout the facility. Keep the air moving and the humidity in check!

In addition to the design advantages of concrete flooring, they are an inexpensive way of regulating the temperature inside a house.

If you have an unsafe wet floor the steel shot blasting may be your answer. If aesthetics are not an issue and your facility needs increased traction the shot blasting may solve your slippery floor problem.

Concrete floors offer numerous benefits in terms of strength, rigidity, span, fire resistance, acoustics, maintenance and longevity. Thank you for the beautiful post!

If you have wet concrete floors it can be very dangerous. This condition is an especially dangerous concrete floor if it is inside a factory or a warehouse that has steel troweled concrete. Thank you for sharing your great post!
