Event center flooring installation in New Orleans

This page is for venue operators and facility managers planning permanent floors. It covers which floor suits each zone and how New Orleans humidity and water affect that choice, then what to agree before work starts between events.

We install permanent floors in the spaces around the main event floor. Temporary covers laid for a single event are a different product and aren't covered on this page.

Arenas and stadiums

Concourses, concessions, locker rooms, suites and offices.

Event centers and convention halls

Lobbies, prefunction areas, meeting rooms and back of house.

Training rooms and gyms

Support spaces for athletes and staff. See our fitness center flooring page.

Theaters and cultural venues

These have their own page: cultural and entertainment venues.

Which floors suit each part of a venue?

A venue is several buildings in one, so the floor changes from zone to zone.

Concourses and seating areas

Sherwin-Williams' arena guide names resin flooring for concourses, concessions and seating areas, and Stonhard's sports page lists epoxy, urethane and MMA systems for concourses, food service areas and locker rooms. Our epoxy flooring page explains how these coatings work.

Concessions and kitchens

OSHA requires workroom floors to be kept clean and, as far as feasible, dry. Where wet processes are used, it calls for drainage and dry standing places such as platforms and mats, so plan drains and mats along with the floor.

Locker rooms and showers

Sherwin-Williams describes its locker room flooring as designed to be durable, non-slip and easy to clean. Whatever system you choose, ask for its slip resistance data before you order.

Suites, clubs and offices

The 2010 ADA Standards require floors on accessible routes to be stable, firm and slip resistant, and limit carpet pile to 1/2 inch. Carpet tile and luxury vinyl both fit inside those limits when chosen with them in mind.

How it works

Humidity, water and storms: what New Orleans venues plan for

Large slabs and ground-level concourses shape the plan here, and so does hurricane season.

  1. 01

    Test the slab before any coating

    The Department of Energy classes Orleans Parish as hot-humid (climate zone 2A). ASTM's slab humidity standard (F2170) says excess slab moisture can cause debonding and deterioration of floor coverings and coatings, and that manufacturers generally require moisture testing before install.

  2. 02

    Ground-level zones and water

    NASA notes that about 70% of New Orleans sits below sea level. At street level, plan floors that can be washed down and dried, with drains where the floor gets wet.

  3. 03

    Off-season work and hurricane season

    NOAA says the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with most activity between mid-August and mid-October. If your off season falls in late summer, put a weather buffer into the schedule.

How the work fits around the event calendar

Cure time decides when a zone can reopen. These are the points to settle in the estimate.

Zones and booking dates

Agree which zones are released at a time and the date each must be back in use.

Cure time

Get the coating's cure and return-to-service times from its data sheet before you lock dates.

Equipment access

Agree the routes for grinders and materials, and where they're staged.

Price

The area released at once, slab prep, the coating system and removal of old floors all move the number. Our epoxy flooring installation page walks through the steps.

We serve venues across New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, the Northshore and Baton Rouge; see our service areas. Ask for a free estimate and tell us the zones and rough square footage, plus your next open dates.

FAQ

Common Questions About Sports Arenas and Stadiums

Talk to an Expert about Sports Arenas and Stadiums.

Which floors work for arena concourses and concessions?

Resin systems such as epoxy and urethane are what Sherwin-Williams and Stonhard name for these areas. Sherwin-Williams' arena guide names resin flooring for concourses, concessions and seating areas, and OSHA calls for drainage and dry standing places such as mats where wet processes are used.

Can you install flooring between events without closing the venue?

Usually, if the work is phased by zone and the coating's cure time fits between bookings. Agree the zones and the date each one returns to use in the estimate.

How does New Orleans humidity affect floor coatings in a venue?

ASTM's slab humidity standard says excess slab moisture can cause coatings and floor coverings to debond and deteriorate. Manufacturers generally require a moisture test first, so the slab gets tested before any coating goes down.

Do you cover event centers outside New Orleans?

Yes. We serve venues across Metairie, Kenner, the Northshore and Baton Rouge as well as New Orleans. Our service areas page lists every town.
