WHAT FLOOR IS RIGHT

FOR YOU?

With 50+ years of experience, Centrex has custom-built hundreds of hangars with different end-uses. One of the most crucial design decisions is flooring. We have gathered the important information on the top three finishes, including aesthetics, durability, traction, maintenance, cost and more, so you can choose the best option.

OPTION 1:

STEEL TROWEL BURNISHED

Burnishing offers a beautiful finish to ordinary concrete. It has a hard-wearing and
attractive finish by burnishing the concrete with a high-speed trowel. This is the most
basic of hangar floor finishes, offering a smooth surface where some natural concrete
discrepancies are visible. It is the most economical option. Burnished floors allow aircraft
tires to park directly on the surface with minimal tire marks. The finish is moderately
resistant to spills. Water, oil, and fuel can leave permanent marks if not cleaned promptly.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain its appearance.

​

This is Centrex's recommended finish for shared space storage hangars.

Choosing the right flooring for your aircraft hangar is a critical step as you balance aesthetics, durability, safety, and cost. Whether you prioritize the classic, economical appeal of a steel trowel burnished floor, the premium elegance of polished concrete, or the modern sophistication of an epoxy-coated finish, Centrex has the expertise to guide you to the best decision.
