Resilient Floors, Reliable Facilities with Epoxy Flooring

At Sterling Services, we remain focused on staying ahead of industry trends and embracing innovations that benefit both our team and our clients. Hear from Jose Gonzalez, Technician Supervisor and Leader of of Epoxy Division in Illinois, on the benefits of epoxy and how we’ve been using innovative products and installation techniques. 

Although our epoxy experience precedes it; over the past two years, our team has spent countless hours inside hospitals, school districts, universities, and public buildings helping facilities teams modernize, repair, and future-proof some of the most heavily used floors in their buildings with a state of the art flooring system.

What we’ve seen firsthand is clear: epoxy flooring isn’t just a trend. It’s becoming the backbone of safe, efficient, and long-lasting facility management.

For example, many people don’t realize how quickly flooring becomes outdated in hospitals until the daily wear and tear starts affecting safety, cleanliness, and operations. 

During customer surveys, facilities managers repeatedly tell us the same thing:
  • They know flooring matters
  • They want modern solutions
  • But scheduling upgrades in active patient care environments is tough

That’s where a strategic approach comes in. Our teams work directly with facilities managers to:
  • Block off rooms with minimal disruption
  • Set up proper containment
  • Install air filtration
  • Maintain fully controlled work zones

Depending on room size and usage, we’re even able to work during the day in patient rooms keeping the project on schedule while keeping the environment safe.

And the best part. Our hospital partners have been calling us back continuously for over ten years, trusting us to update high-traffic areas. Their teams have seen long-term performance, and once they experience that durability, they refer us to others without hesitation.

While there are many types of epoxy flooring, Fast Flow Flooring System has changed the game.

This self-leveling epoxy system offers:
  • The fastest installation process
  • A seamless, high-performance surface
  • Superior durability and chemical resistance
  • A cleaner, more modern look
  • More affordable micro-terrazzo 

Our team was on the forefront installing and enhancing Fast Flow for over three years, but it’s quickly become the preferred option for healthcare, education, and industrial environments that need both aesthetics and longevity.

Like many industries, facility maintenance went through unpredictable swings during and after COVID. For a while, everything was “wonky” with irregular schedules, paused upgrades, and unusual maintenance cycles.

Whether in hospitals, universities, military facilities, warehouses, or manufacturing plants, epoxy flooring offers unmatched benefits:
  • Low maintenance
  • Waterproof and easy to clean
  • Highly resistant to wear, chemicals, and heavy use
  • Customizable in colors, finishes, and patterns
  • Installs over concrete, tile, linoleum, wood, metal, and even old coatings

When buildings need long-term performance with minimal downtime, epoxy is often the best solution.

If the last couple of years has shown us anything, it’s that the right flooring isn’t just a surface it’s a strategic asset for safety, cleanliness, and operational continuity.

We’re grateful for the hospitals, schools, and partners who trust us year after year.
