Shop floor coating protects service bays, truck shops, wash bays and equipment shops from oil, slush, road salt and heavy tires. We build a thick, textured floor that is easy to clean and gives sure footing when it is wet.
A shop floor in Central Alberta takes more abuse than almost any other commercial floor. Trucks bring in ice and gravel all winter, the slush melts on a warm slab, and the gritty water ends up everywhere. A good shop floor coating keeps that mess on top of the floor so it can be pushed to the drain with a squeegee.
A smooth gloss floor turns slippery the moment it gets wet, and a shop floor is wet for half the year. We broadcast an aggregate into the shop floor coating so it keeps its grip under slush, wash water and oil.
The texture can be adjusted by area. Wash bays and the area inside the overhead doors get a coarser grip, while parts rooms and offices get a lighter texture that is easier to sweep.
Trench drains, floor drains and the slab edge at the overhead door are where shop floors usually fail first. Water gets under the coating at the edge and lifts it from below.
We grind a key into the concrete along every drain and door edge so the shop floor coating locks into the slab instead of ending on top of it. Drains are sloped and cleaned out, and cracks around them are repaired before any coating goes down.
Loaders, pickers and tracked equipment are much harder on a floor than pickups. For heavy equipment bays we use a thicker build and a harder topcoat, and we may recommend urethane cement in the wash bay where hot water and degreasers are used every day.
Many of the oilfield service shops in Gasoline Alley and the Blindman Industrial Park use this kind of floor. For fabrication and assembly areas, see our industrial epoxy flooring page.
Shop floor coating is quoted after a free site walk, and the quote shows how many bays are closed at a time. Every floor we install is fully insured. Call us today, or see every other service on the Red Deer Epoxy Floors home page.
Most larger jobs combine two or three of these systems in one building.
Commercial epoxy flooring gives offices, retail stores, showrooms, clinics and lunch rooms in Red Deer a seamless floor that is easy to clean and stands up to daily traffic. We install it with as little disruption to your business as possible, often after hours.

Industrial epoxy flooring for Red Deer plants, fabrication shops and oilfield equipment builders is built thick enough to take dropped steel, rolling loads and hydraulic oil. We match the build to the traffic, so the heaviest bays get the heaviest floor.

Warehouse floor coating seals the slab, stops concrete dust and gives forklifts a tough, bright surface in distribution centres and storage buildings. We coat the floor in sections so the warehouse keeps shipping while the work is done.

Commercial kitchen flooring gives restaurants, bakeries, breweries, meat plants and packaging rooms a seamless floor that takes hot water, grease, steam and daily sanitizing. For most wet kitchens and food areas we install urethane cement rather than standard epoxy.

Chemical resistant floor coating protects the slab in drum storage rooms, glycol and fuel areas, battery charging rooms and labs. We seal the floor and build a containment curb or cove so a spill stays inside the area.

Warehouse floor marking lays out forklift lanes, pedestrian walkways, storage bays, hatched danger zones and loading areas in warehouses, plants and shops. We paint the lines on an existing floor, or build them right into a new epoxy floor so they last for years.

Concrete floor repair fixes cracks, broken joints, spalled patches, pitting and uneven slabs in shops, warehouses and commercial buildings. We repair the concrete so it can be coated, or so it can go back into service on its own.

Garage floor coating gives homeowners a tough, easy to clean floor that stands up to winter slush, road salt and hot tires. We install flake and solid colour systems with a polyaspartic topcoat, usually in one or two days.
