Animal Care & Veterinary Epoxy Flooring in Columbus, Ohio

The system we recommend and why

Seamless epoxy with cove base and anti-slip texture

Vet clinics and kennels need a seamless floor with no grout lines to trap odors and bacteria, resistance to the disinfectants in daily use, and grip for staff and animals on wet floors. A seamless epoxy with cove base and anti-slip texture does all of that and cleans up fast.

6. 6

What to ask any animal care & veterinary floor installer

Use this checklist on every quote. The right installer answers these clearly; the wrong ones dodge them.

• Do you form integral cove base up the walls?

• Is the topcoat resistant to our disinfectants and cleaning chemicals?

• What anti-slip texture do you use for wet washdown conditions?

• Will the floor resist stains and odors from urine and waste?

• Can the floor take kennel and claw traffic without gouging?

• Can you work around our clinic schedule?

When epoxy is the wrong choice

A floor with grout lines or a thin coating is the wrong choice in animal care. Grout traps odors and bacteria, and thin coatings wear through under kennel and claw traffic and daily disinfectants.

The better alternative: A seamless epoxy with cove base and a chemical-resistant topcoat is the correct system. For areas with heavy steam or hot-water cleaning, urethane cement is the better long-term choice.

How we keep your operation running

Clinics cannot shut down for long, so we work in sections and schedule around exam and boarding hours. Fast-cure systems return a section to service in 24 to 48 hours. We coordinate with your team so animals can be moved safely and the floor is ready before the clinic reopens.

What it costs in Columbus

Veterinary and animal care floors in Columbus typically run $7 to $11 per square foot installed. Cove base, anti-slip texture, and chemical-resistant topcoats add cost. These are estimates — your real price depends on the slab, the system, and the amount of coving.

What moves the price

• Square footage and amount of cove base.

• Slab condition — stains, odors, and old coatings add prep.

• System type — chemical-resistant and anti-slip systems cost more.

• Schedule — nights, weekends, or tight timelines.

These are estimates only. A real price comes after a free on-site walk-through.
