What a Dog Kennel Floor Needs
A dog kennel floor coating is a seamless, non-porous resin system with a coved base that keeps urine, bacteria and odor from soaking into the concrete, so runs disinfect and rinse clean instead of holding smell. It is finished non-slip so wet paws and wet floors stay safe.
Bare or painted concrete in a kennel is a problem: it is porous, so urine and bacteria soak in and the smell never fully leaves, and grout lines and cracks hold contamination. A kennel coating has to be seamless and non-porous so nothing penetrates, odor- and urine-resistant so it rinses and disinfects fully, and non-slip when wet so dogs and handlers keep their footing on a hosed-down floor. An integral cove base up the wall removes the corner seam where waste and water collect, so the whole run is one washable surface with no edge to fail.
The System We Install and How Long It Takes
We install a seamless epoxy or polyaspartic system with a coved base 4 to 6 inches up the wall, chemical-resistant so it stands up to daily disinfectants and bleach, and finished to a wet DCOF of 0.42 or higher so wet paws stay safe. It is our own Duralast system, and it wipes, rinses and disinfects like a solid surface. A polyaspartic topcoat is tack-free in 1 to 2 hours and returns the runs to service in about a day, so the facility is down for a day rather than a week.
Every floor gets the same six-step process: we grind the slab to a CSP 1 to 3 profile, patch cracks and spalls, moisture-test and prime the concrete, apply the base coat, broadcast the chips and seal it with a clear topcoat.
Built for Indiana Winters
Outdoor runs, and any unheated or entryway concrete, take Fort Wayne's freeze-thaw and tracked-in salt. We spec those areas for the cold and chloride so the coating does not scale where water freezes, and the sealed surface keeps meltwater and waste from soaking into the slab.
What It Costs
We price every floor in person with a free on-site estimate. The cost depends on the square footage, the slab's condition and moisture, the coating system and build, and any off-hours scheduling. You get a straight, written price before any work starts.
