Top Benefits of a JetRock flooring system:

•Durability and Water Tightness. Correctional facilities experience intense foot traffic, causing many flooring coatings to deteriorate rapidly. Optimal flooring systems, with a thickness of at least 3/16”, provide superior durability due to their robust build. Additionally, JetRock® flooring system acts as an effective water-tight barrier. This is especially valuable in older correctional facilities where worn tiles and compromised grout can lead to water seepage into adjacent rooms or open areas.

•Hygiene and Sanitation. In environments where many individuals are housed closely together, eliminating or reducing the spread of bacteria and disease can be achieved with JetRock® flooring sytem since our surfaces are nonporous, with antimicrobial and antibacterial properties which would allow for bacteria to sit and grow. The JetRock® flooring system is resilient, even when exposed to frequent moisture and dirt in expansive communal areas.

•Fast Installation. Flooring installation can introduce disruptions and potential security concerns, especially when working near inmate areas. JetRock® has the unique advantage of being installed directly over the existing flooring system or tiles, significantly accelerating the installation process.

•How Resistant Is JetRock® Tampering or Potential Weaponization by Inmates? The JetRock® flooring system’s resistance to tampering and weaponization offers an added layer of safety and security for administrators who manage correctional facilities. Its solid, 100% seamless surface, significantly reduces opportunities for inmate tampering. The cohesive and non-porous flooring means there are no gaps, grout seams, or loose parts that inmates could exploit to hide contraband or convert into weapons. The hardness and durability of cured epoxy make it nearly impossible to break, chip, or damage, minimizing the risk of weaponization.

•How Does the JetRock® Flooring System Contribute to Fire Safety Standards? A JetRock® floor contributes to fire safety standards by being inherently flame-resistant. Its composition prevents it from acting as a fuel source, and in many cases, it can hinder the spread of flames. If a fire occurs, epoxy flooring tends to produce less smoke and fewer toxic fumes compared to other flooring materials so inmates, facility staff, and guards can be safely evacuated.

•How Does the Long-Term Cost of Maintenance Compare to Other Flooring Options? The cost-effectiveness of a JetRock® flooring system epoxy, when considering its long lifespan and minimal maintenance needs, makes it a financially sound investment for correctional facilities. Its quick installation process also means minimal disruption, ensuring the facility remains operational during upgrades.

•Does the JetRock® Flooring System Emit any Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)? JetRock® flooring does not emit any VOCs during the flooring application since there are no chemical solvents used during the mixing of epoxy material.
