Concrete floors are one of the hardest-working spots in any commercial business, warehouse, or restaurant. When they’re well-maintained, they’ll withstand just about anything you put them through in the course of day-to-day operations. An essential part of keeping your floors at their top level of performance is using the right concrete floor joint filler.

In this post, our commercial floor specialists at Act Restoration in Brooklyn Park are breaking down what you need to know about floor joint filler. To schedule your concrete joint filling and maintenance, give us a call today.

What Are Concrete Floor Joints?

Take a look at your finished concrete floors. The deliberately placed lines or cuts in the concrete are known as control joints, which are cut into each finished concrete floor immediately after placement.

Concrete floor joints serve several purposes:

●        Prevent cracks from forming during shrinkage

●        Allow for moisture change-related movement

●        Help floors handle temperature changes

Benefits of Filling Concrete Joints

While necessary, concrete floor joints can lead to safety issues if they aren’t filled, creating a potential tripping hazard. Concrete joint fillers provide a clean, attractive solution to this problem.

Besides preventing safety risks, filling those cracks can also have a number of other advantages. Here are a few:

●        Prevents dirt, spills, and debris from accumulating in joints, keeping floors cleaner

●        Creates a more sanitary environment for meeting health code requirements

●        Reduces spalling around the joints, which is especially important in any environment where large equipment will be used.

●        Adds an attractive finish

The Difference With Polyurea Filler

Once a concrete filler has cured, it will work in concert with the concrete floors themselves throughout its service life. A good concrete filler needs to stand up to the constant demands of a commercial concrete floor, from heavy traffic loads to thermal cycling to shrinkage.

At ACT Restoration, we use polyurea fillers to extend the life and increase the performance of your commercial concrete floors. Because polyurea has a faster curing time than some other types of fillers, your floors will be available to use within a few hours after filling.

If your concrete floors are located in a colder warehouse, freezer, or refrigerated space, polyurea is a stable filler when exposed to extreme temperatures. Finally, polyurea is available in a wide range of colors, perfect for creating an attractive floor design that looks great in any home or business.
