Concrete Floors and Slabs

The surface everything stands on: broom-finished, troweled, sealed or polished slabs for every kind of barn.

A concrete floor makes a barn easier to clean, safer for vehicles and better for equipment. A broom finish adds traction for stall aisles and wash bays, a troweled finish is smooth for shops, and sealed or polished concrete looks great in finished spaces.

The slab depends on use: thicker and reinforced for lifts and heavy equipment, sloped to drains for wash bays and aisles, and jointed to manage cracks. Combined with a gravel base and vapor barrier, it gives you a floor that lasts.
