When setting up your new greenhouse, it’s very important to first figure out your flooring options. Good greenhouse flooring should allow proper drainage and insulation from the cold, keep out weeds and pests, and also be comfortable for you. Besides concrete, there are lots of greenhouse flooring options available. Keep reading to learn about all these available options for your new greenhouse floor.
As we previously mentioned, there are lots of options for greenhouse flooring materials. The most economical flooring option is a poured concrete floor. A concrete floor is simple. Simple in many ways. It’s simple looking but also simple to clean, simple to have, and simple to pour, and as long as it’s poured correctly, it should simply drain away any excess water. Concrete will also reflect light and retain heat throughout the day.
However, concrete is not the only option available for your greenhouse’s floor, and it’s also not the best option. With the amazing advances in the floor coating industry, recent years have seen an enormous uptick in the overall effectiveness of floor coating application types. Let’s look at some of these revolutionary options and see which fits your desired outcome for your greenhouse.
Before you install the floor in your greenhouse, it’s very important to think about what’s most important to you. Consider how much time you’ll spend in the greenhouse and how long each of the flooring options will last. For example, concrete lasts many years, while mulch degrades very quickly. Also, keep your budget in mind. Depending on your total budget, there are several greenhouse flooring ideas to consider:
1. Wood foundation filled with crushed stone or gravel and covered with weed cloth: This foundation is well-draining, easy to clean, easy to install, and relatively inexpensive.
2. Lava and landscape rock: These are attractive options, but they are not easy to clean and can be pricey.
3. Mulch flooring: While it’s cheap, it can’t be cleaned and harbors bacteria and fungi, and it decomposes rapidly.
4. Bricks: Adds humidity to the greenhouse, should be laid over a layer of sand for stability and drainage.
5. Rock foundation: Should be laid atop a layer of sand.
6. Clay floors: Durable and easy to walk on, often used in commercial greenhouses.
7. Weed mats: Excellent for drainage, weed and pest control, and are easily installed.
8. Specialty greenhouse vinyl tiles: Gaining popularity due to ease of cleaning and excellent drainage.
For a long-lasting, moisture- and heat-resistant coating, consider ArmorFloor™, a two-component, aliphatic polyaspartic suitable for indoor or outdoor use. It’s resilient, durable, and UV-resistant, and it can be customized with slip-resistant color quartz or other abrasive materials.
If you prefer a spray-applied coating, ArmorLiner is a versatile, scratch-resistant option with a textured surface that provides traction, wet or dry.
It’s important to note that both ArmorFloor™ and ArmorLiner require concrete flooring to be in place before application.
Many types of greenhouse flooring are suitable as long as they are easy to clean and drain well. If you opt for a concrete foundation, consider laying carpet or rubber mats in areas where you’ll be working for long periods. If you choose not to have a poured concrete foundation, install a weed mat barrier over bare dirt or gravel to create a functional floor.
Ultimately, the choice of greenhouse flooring depends on your budget and preferences. If you have any questions about this, the team at ArmorThane will be happy to assist you. Feel free to send an inquiry.
A small investment for coating equipment and products will get you started in a new polyurea, polyurethane, and spray foam business or increase the revenue of an existing company. With no franchise fees or royalties, starting a protective coating business or other ArmorThane dealer business is a relatively low cost venture.
