The business district next door
Our shop is surrounded by the kind of buildings we coat every week: tilt-up warehouses, distribution hubs, cabinet and countertop fabricators, HVAC and plumbing contractor yards, auto body shops, food distributors and small manufacturers. Raw concrete in those buildings wears out quickly. Forklift tires abrade the surface and throw off dust. Hydraulic fluid, coolant and cleaning chemicals soak in and leave permanent stains. Joints chip under pallet jacks. A properly specified coating fixes all of that and makes the building safer and easier to maintain.
Systems we install
High-build epoxy
Thick, 100 percent solids epoxy for warehouses, storage areas and light manufacturing. It resists abrasion, seals the slab against stains and brightens the space by reflecting light.
Urethane cement
For food processing, commercial kitchens, breweries and wash-down areas, urethane cement handles thermal shock from hot water and steam, along with fats, sugars and acids. It can be installed with integral cove bases for easy sanitation.
Chemical-resistant linings
Battery charging rooms, chemical storage and plating areas need novolac epoxy or similar linings that resist strong acids and solvents.
Decorative flake and quartz
Locker rooms, restrooms, break rooms and showrooms benefit from textured flake or quartz broadcast systems that look good and resist slips.
Polished concrete
For big-box retail and large warehouses, polished concrete can be a cost-effective alternative with very low maintenance.
Keeping you open
Shutting down a facility costs money. We plan installs around your schedule, working nights, weekends and holiday shutdowns, and we phase large floors so part of the building stays in use. Fast-cure products can return areas to service in hours instead of days. Before starting, we walk the site with your operations manager to plan access, ventilation, dust control and the order of areas.
Preparation for heavy duty
Industrial slabs often carry years of oil, curing compounds, sealers and old paint. We use ride-on grinders and shot blasters with industrial dust collection to remove contaminants and create the right profile. Joints are cleaned and filled with semi-rigid polyurea that supports forklift wheels. Damaged joints and spalls are rebuilt with epoxy mortar. For slabs with high moisture, we install vapor mitigation primers.
Striping and safety
After coating, we lay out forklift lanes, pedestrian walkways, staging squares, hazard zones and parking stalls using durable coatings rather than paint that wears off in months. Anti-slip aggregates can be built into the floor in ramps, wash bays and loading areas. We follow OSHA color conventions so markings are clear to everyone.
Food and beverage facilities
Food plants and distributors in the region need floors that meet sanitary standards. Our urethane cement systems are seamless, non-porous and resist bacteria growth. Coved bases eliminate the gap between wall and floor where debris collects. We can also slope floors toward drains to stop pooling water.
Heat and big doors
Warehouses here often have dock doors open all day to summer heat, and interior temperatures can swing widely. We choose materials rated for those conditions and time installs so coatings cure at stable temperatures, often overnight.
What to expect from our proposals
Every commercial proposal lists square footage, the system build-up, thickness in mils, expected cure times, phasing, protection of equipment and a workmanship warranty. We are happy to work with facility managers, general contractors and property managers.
Common questions
How long will it last?
High-build epoxy in a warehouse commonly lasts eight to fifteen years depending on traffic. Urethane cement in a food plant often lasts longer.
Can you coat around racking?
Yes, though we get the best results when racks can be moved. We can work in sections.
Do you handle small shops?
Absolutely. Many of our commercial jobs are single-bay auto shops, small fabrication shops and retail stores.
