Cold Room & Freezer Floor Coatings in Perth, WA

Cold storage warehouses, walk-in freezers, and refrigerated rooms in Perth present unique challenges for flooring. The extreme cold, moisture from condensation, and constant heavy loading can quickly degrade standard floors. Perth Blast n Seal offers flooring systems specifically engineered for low-temperature environments. We provide surface preparation and coating solutions that remain durable and safe under freezing conditions. Our team ensures your cold storage floors are seamless, slip-resistant, and able to handle thermal stress – all while minimizing downtime during installation.

Overcoming Freezer Floor Challenges

Flooring in cold rooms must meet a long list of demands: it needs to tolerate freezing temperatures, heavy forklift traffic, frequent moisture, and still be easy to clean for hygiene. If a floor in a freezer or chiller cannot handle these demands, it will likely crack or otherwise deteriorate, compromising the facility’s integrity. Additionally, any damage in a freezer floor can cause safety issues and even insulation failures that affect temperature control. That’s why we use specially formulated coating systems for cold storage facilities. These products are designed not only to withstand sub-zero conditions and constant wetness, but also to be installed in those same cold environments without issue.

Standard epoxy coatings won’t cure properly at very low temperatures – typically, a freezer would have to be shut down and warmed up for days to coat the floor with conventional materials. Perth Blast n Seal avoids that hassle by using advanced polymers like polyaspartic coatings and urethane cements which can cure even in chilly or freezing conditions. These fast-curing formulations mean we can often install a new freezer floor with little to no thawing of your facility, preventing product spoilage and downtime. In fact, polyaspartic and specialized acrylic resin systems can fully cure at temperatures well below 0 °C, allowing your cold storage operations to resume quickly.

Durable, Safe, and Hygienic Freezer Floors

Our cold storage flooring solutions produce a seamless, non-porous surface with no cracks or grout lines where moisture can infiltrate. This is crucial, as any crevice could allow water to freeze and expand, causing further damage. A seamless floor also leaves no place for bacteria or mold to grow, helping you maintain the strict hygiene conditions required for food storage. We often slope the flooring slightly toward drains and design the system to handle frequent washdowns, so any water from defrosting or cleaning does not puddle and turn into ice. Combined with our high-grip, anti-slip coatings, these measures ensure a safer work environment, preventing slip-and-fall accidents even in wet or icy conditions.

Cold storage floors also need to be exceptionally robust. Our heavy-duty epoxy and polyurethane concrete systems are built to withstand constant forklift and pallet jack traffic, as well as the static weight of stacked frozen goods. They provide long-term resistance to abrasion and impact, even in the brittle cold. Moreover, our materials are thermal shock-resistant – meaning that when a freezer door opens and warmer air rushes in, the resulting temperature swings won’t cause the floor coating to crack or delaminate. This property protects your floor as well as the underlying concrete slab from damage due to expansion and contraction. Even in Perth’s climate, where the difference between a hot summer day and a –20 °C freezer interior is stark, our floors hold strong and stable.

Our Cold Storage Flooring Services Include:

Frozen environment preparation – Working in a freezer requires special precautions. We coordinate with you to temporarily relocate stored goods if necessary and can work in sections to keep most of your facility operational. Our crew will remove any ice buildup and perform mechanical surface preparation (with equipment selected for cold use) to profile the concrete. We also address any existing floor damage, such as frost-heave cracks or worn insulating layers, before recoating.
Low-temperature curing coatings – We install floor coating systems that are formulated for low-temperature application. Options include polyaspartic coatings, methyl methacrylate (MMA) resins, and urethane cement mortars that can all cure in freezing conditions. These products achieve full strength quickly, even in a freezer, so you get a solid, long-lasting floor without a lengthy thaw. They are also food-safe and compliant with Australian standards for cold food storage facilities.
Urethane concrete overlays – For severely deteriorated freezer floors or areas needing maximum strength, we can apply a urethane concrete overlay (a troweled polyurethane-cement mortar) at 6–9 mm thickness. Urethane concrete is ideal for cold rooms because it is highly thermal shock resistant and can bond to slightly damp substrates. It creates an insulated, monolithic layer that can absorb impact and resist damage from rapid temperature changes. This kind of floor can handle everything from dropped heavy crates to continuous freeze-thaw cycles without cracking.
Integral coving and insulation – As with our hygienic floors elsewhere, we can install coved edges where the floor meets the wall in a cold room. Coved flooring in freezers helps prevent moisture intrusion at wall joints and makes thorough cleaning easier. We also ensure that the coating system is compatible with any under-slab heating or insulation you have. If no vapor barrier exists under the concrete (common in older facilities), we use moisture-tolerant primers and breathable urethane concretes to mitigate any risk of coating blistering from moisture vapor pressure.

Slip-resistant finishing – Safety is critical in cold storage where icy conditions can occur. We finish the floor with a textured, slip-resistant topcoat tailored to your needs. This might be a fine orange-peel texture for easier cleaning in a food freezer, or a coarser grit for an industrial cold room where occasional ice is expected. Our goal is to provide ample traction for your personnel and equipment without trapping dirt in the floor.
Maintenance and inspection – We offer maintenance services to keep your freezer floor in top condition. This can include periodic inspections for any signs of thermal stress or cracks, as well as reapplication of topcoat after many years of use to renew the anti-slip texture. Because cold storage is so critical, we stand by our installations with robust warranties and prompt support, giving you confidence in the floor’s performance long-term.

Trusted Expertise for Perth’s Cold Chain

Perth Blast n Seal has worked with food processors, beverage distributors, and logistics companies across Perth and WA to upgrade their refrigerated storage facilities. We understand the urgency of maintaining temperature control and the cost implications of downtime. Our installation plans for cold storage projects are developed carefully to ensure your inventory stays frozen and your schedule is maintained. If needed, we can install flooring one section at a time so that other areas of a large freezer warehouse remain operational, or work in continuous shifts to expedite project completion.

By using cutting-edge materials and techniques, we deliver freezer room floors that not only perform in the harsh cold but also meet all relevant health and safety standards. Whether you store seafood, dairy, produce or pharmaceuticals, we will craft a flooring solution that protects your products and your people alike.
