A Coating For Every Setting

From single car garages to airplane hangars, we have a concrete coating to fit your situation and needs. The most common coatings we install around Ottawa include:

  • Polyaspartic
  • Epoxy
  • Urethane

 

Each of these coatings has its specific benefits that could make it the perfect choice. Our sales staff can help you determine which is best for you with some simple questions.

 

Polyaspartic Concrete Coating

Our polyaspartic coating system is the industry leader, offering a long lifespan, resistance to chemicals and traffic, and a stunning appearance with colours and flakes to suit your desires. This seamless finish is a top choice for garages and basements where it stands up to wear and tear better than most alternatives. 

 

Some advantages of choosing polyaspartic coatings include: 

  • Rapid Curing Time: Polyaspartic coatings cure in about one day, allowing for faster installation and minimal downtime.
  • Superior Durability: They offer excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
  • UV Stability: These coatings are UV-stable and do not yellow or fade when exposed to sunlight.
  • Chemical Resistance: Polyaspartic coatings resist a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids.
  • Flexibility: They are flexible and can handle temperature fluctuations without cracking.
  • Moisture Tolerance: Polyaspartic coatings can be applied in environments with high humidity or on slightly damp surfaces.
  • Long Lifespan: These coatings last for decades with proper care and maintenance.
  • Aesthetic Options: Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including high-gloss and matte, with options for decorative flakes or quartz.

 

Epoxy Floor Coatings

Epoxy flooring is a synthetic resin for concrete surfaces that forms a durable, permanent bond serving as a decorative and impervious barrier, safeguarding the substrate These systems have multiple layers of thermosetting resin that are painted, troweled, or poured onto the concrete.

The benefits of choosing this coating are: 

  • Durability: Epoxy coatings provide a hard surface that withstands foot and vehicle traffic, impacts, and abrasion.
  • Chemical Resistance: Epoxy flooring resists many chemicals, including oils, gasoline, and most solvents, making it ideal for industrial and commercial use.
  • Waterproofing: Epoxy coatings create a seamless, impermeable surface that resists moisture and water damage.
  • Slip Resistance: Textured finishes enhance slip resistance, improving safety in areas prone to falls.
  • Easy Maintenance: The smooth, seamless surface of epoxy floors is easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal effort to remove dirt, dust, or spills.
  • Aesthetic Versatility: Available in various colours, patterns, and finishes, epoxy coatings can enhance the visual appeal of any space, from industrial facilities to residential garages.
  • Affordable Price: Compared to other flooring options, epoxy coatings are generally more affordable and provide a cost-effective solution for durable and long-lasting floors.
  • Long-lasting Performance: With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy coatings can last for ten years or more.
  • Resistance to Stains and Dust: Epoxy floors resist staining from spills and do not trap dust or other allergens, contributing to a cleaner environment.
  • Improved Light Reflection: The high-gloss finish of epoxy coatings can enhance lighting in spaces by reflecting light, improving visibility and reducing the need for additional lighting.

 

Urethane Flooring

Urethane, or polyurethane, flooring systems resurface concrete floors and add colour for walkway designation or other markings. These floors offer various performance benefits, including slip resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance. Urethane floors also provide waterproofing, water drainage, and seamless hygienic protection.

This coating offers several advantages for consumers, including: 

  • High Durability: Urethane flooring is highly resistant to wear, abrasion, and impact, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
  • Chemical Resistance: It offers strong resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and cleaning agents.
  • Thermal Shock Resistance: Urethane flooring can withstand extreme temperature changes without cracking or delaminating, making it suitable for environments with thermal cycling.
  • Slip Resistance: Urethane floors can be textured to provide slip-resistant surfaces, enhancing safety.
  • Seamless & Hygienic: The seamless application of urethane flooring prevents the buildup of dirt, bacteria, and mold, providing a hygienic surface that is easy to clean.
  • Waterproofing/ Moisture Tolerance: Urethane floors are impermeable to water and moisture, helping to prevent water damage and promote proper drainage.
  • UV Resistance: Urethane coatings are resistant to UV light and do not yellow or fade when exposed to sunlight, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
  • Flexibility: Urethane flooring is flexible and can expand and contract with substrate movement, reducing the risk of cracking.
  • Customizable Aesthetic Options: Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, urethane floors can be customized to meet aesthetic needs for industrial and commercial spaces.
  • Reduced Noise: The flexible nature of urethane flooring can help to dampen noise, providing a quieter environment in areas like factories or warehouses.
  • Long Lifespan: Due to their durability and resistance properties, urethane floors have a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
