Team Red Coatings had the opportunity to provide a crucial flooring solution for Dandridge Animal Hospital’s state-of-the-art animal care facility in Dandridge, TN. The hospital required a durable, pet-safe floor that could handle the daily demands of a high-traffic veterinary facility. With these needs in mind, we completed a 1-day epoxy floor installation, transforming the space with a showroom-quality, industrial-grade surface.
The Client’s Request
Dandridge Animal Hospital needed a flooring solution that was visually appealing and functional for their busy practice. Veterinary hospitals face unique challenges regarding flooring, as the surface needs to be durable, easy to maintain, and safe for pets and staff. To set up the building for long-term success, the hospital turned to us for a high-performance epoxy floor to meet these demands.
The hospital wanted a floor that would remain resilient against frequent foot traffic, equipment movement, and potential spills while providing its facility with a clean, modern aesthetic. Most importantly, it had to be safe and comfortable for the animals they treat daily.
The Flooring Solution: Industrial-Grade Epoxy Coating
After evaluating the hospital’s needs, we recommended an industrial-grade epoxy coating. Epoxy coatings are widely recognized for their durability, making them the ideal choice for environments that experience heavy use. For Dandridge Animal Hospital, this was particularly important, as they required a floor that could withstand the rigors of veterinary care while maintaining its appearance over time.
Epoxy floors offer several benefits for animal care facilities:
- They are non-porous, making them resistant to moisture and chemicals, essential for maintaining a sanitary environment.
- The smooth, seamless surface is easy to clean and helps prevent the buildup of bacteria, a frequent concern in medical and veterinary settings.
- The epoxy coating provides a slip-resistant finish, ensuring a safe surface for both pets and staff to move around on.
The Installation Process
The entire epoxy floor installation took just one day, minimizing downtime for the hospital. Our experienced team at Team Red Coatings started by thoroughly preparing the existing concrete surface to ensure proper adhesion of the epoxy coating. This step is critical in achieving a long-lasting result and involves cleaning, grinding, and patching any imperfections in the concrete.
Once the surface was prepared, we applied the industrial-grade epoxy coating in several layers. What had once been a plain, polished concrete floor was now a sleek, professional-looking epoxy floor that met the hospital’s durability, safety, and aesthetics needs.
The Result: A Durable, Pet-Safe Floor for a State-of-the-Art Facility
The new epoxy floor in Dandridge Animal Hospital’s building is visually stunning and incredibly functional. The sleek, glossy finish enhances the overall look of the brand-new facility. At the same time, industrial-grade quality ensures that the floor can handle the high demands of a busy veterinary practice. The pet-safe features, such as its resistance to moisture and chemicals, make it a perfect fit for the hospital’s needs, providing long-term safety and ease of maintenance.
The hospital staff is thrilled with the results, knowing the new flooring will help them maintain a clean, safe, and professional environment for years. The epoxy floor not only adds to the aesthetics of the building but also supports the hospital’s commitment to providing top-tier care for its patients.

At Team Red Coatings, we take pride in delivering flooring solutions that meet each client’s specific needs. The epoxy floor installed at Dandridge Animal Hospital is a perfect example of how the right flooring choice can make a significant difference in both the look and functionality of a new building.
