Industrial

Most Vaughan warehouses can't close, so the installation is planned around the operation. We section the floor into areas that come out of use in turn, agree forklift and foot traffic routes, and schedule the most disruptive stages — grinding and coating — for nights or weekends where needed. Each section is returned once it has reached the cure stated for the traffic it will carry.

A grind-and-seal densifies and seals the existing concrete — good for dust control on a sound slab where appearance and chemical exposure aren't the priority. A full resinous coating builds a film on top, which gives more resistance to spills and abrasion, colour for zoning and line marking, and a surface that's easier to clean. The right answer depends on the slab condition, what's spilled on it, and the traffic it carries.

Saw-cut and construction joints take an impact every time a forklift crosses. Once an edge chips, the damage accelerates, and the joint becomes a trip point and a source of shock loading for equipment. We cut back damaged edges, rebuild them, and fill with a semi-rigid filler suited to wheel traffic. Coating over broken joints without repairing them usually means the coating fails along the same lines.

An industrial building heated to a stable temperature can meet coating requirements through winter. The practical problem is loading docks and overhead doors, which let cold air sweep across the floor. We plan which doors stay closed, measure slab temperature and dew point during installation and cure, and phase areas near doors for times when they can be kept shut.

Federally licensed food businesses operate under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, and provincially regulated operations under Ontario's rules. Either way, the expectation for floors is a durable surface that can be cleaned effectively, drains properly and doesn't harbour contamination. The specific requirement comes from your inspector and your food safety plan. We build to the specification you're held to, and provide the product data to support it.

A quartz broadcast system embeds coloured quartz aggregate into resin layers and seals it, giving a thick, seamless surface. The texture adds slip resistance where floors are routinely wet, and the absence of joints and grout lines removes places for contamination to collect. Coved bases can carry the system up the wall so wash-down water doesn't get under the edge. The texture level is adjustable to balance traction with ease of cleaning.

Coating over an existing failed or unknown coating is one of the most common causes of repeat failure. We remove it mechanically by grinding or shot blasting until we reach sound concrete across the whole area, including edges and under fixtures where old material is often left behind. What we find underneath often explains why the previous floor failed, and that shapes the new specification.

Yes. Urethane cement systems are specifically engineered to resist thermal shock caused by steam cleaning, hot water washdowns and rapid temperature fluctuation.
