Aircraft Hangars and Aerospace Facilities
Aircraft Hangar and Aerospace Facility Flooring
Pacific Coast Contracting regularly installs seamless epoxy flooring in aircraft hangars, with coatings that resist staining from aircraft fluids, oil and jet fuel and stand up to tire traffic.
What hangar and aerospace floors need to do
Compared with bare or polished concrete, a specialized epoxy floor coating offers stain resistance and chemical resistance to aircraft fluids, oil and jet fuel. Light-colored epoxy reflects light better, improving visibility under aircraft. Hangar floors also need to resist tire traffic, provide a non-slip surface, clean easily and resist water.
In aerospace electronics and assembly areas, static control may also be required, which is where ESD flooring comes in.

Recommended Systems
Flooring and Coating Systems for Aircraft Hangars and Aerospace Facilities
Each system is selected for the chemicals, traffic, temperatures and cleaning in the area. Performance depends on the system, preparation, exposure and maintenance.
ESD Flooring
ESD flooring helps protect sensitive aerospace electronics from static discharge.

Urethane topcoats can add UV stability near hangar doors and daylit areas.
Explore urethane flooringOperational constraints and selection considerations
- Specific fluids. Hydraulic fluids, fuels and cleaners vary. Share the fluids used so the coating can be matched to them.
- Aircraft movement. Hangar schedules affect when areas can be closed for preparation and cure.
- Markings and color. Light colors improve visibility; safety striping and markings can be planned with the floor.
- Slip resistance. Textured finishes help traction but affect cleaning, so the balance should be discussed.

Common Questions
Aerospace & Hangars Flooring FAQ
Why use epoxy instead of polished concrete in an aircraft hangar?
A specialized epoxy floor coating offers stain resistance and chemical resistance to aircraft fluids, oil and jet fuel, which polished concrete does not provide in the same way. Light-colored epoxy also reflects light to improve visibility under aircraft. Pacific Coast Contracting regularly installs seamless epoxy in hangars.
Does hangar flooring resist jet fuel and hydraulic fluid?
Properly selected epoxy hangar coatings resist staining and chemical attack from aircraft fluids, oil and jet fuel. Resistance varies by product and exposure, so Pacific Coast Contracting matches the system to the specific fluids and cleaning used in each hangar.
Do aerospace facilities need ESD flooring?
Areas that handle sensitive electronics, such as avionics, assembly and test rooms, may require ESD flooring as part of a static control program. Hangar bays usually do not. Pacific Coast Contracting installs seamless ESD systems for aerospace and defense facilities where they are specified.
