Durable Industrial Concrete Flooring Solutions
Since 1916, Kalman Floor has been a leader in industrial concrete flooring solutions. Our expertise spans over a century of innovation, including patented processes like Seamless Concrete and the Absorption Process. We specialize in durable, low-maintenance flooring systems for industries ranging from cold storage to pharmaceuticals. Our team's deep experience ensures minimal operational disruption during floor rehabilitation, with projects completed in phases to accommodate 24/7 facilities. Recognized with awards such as the NNECA Excellence in Concrete Award and a Construction Communications Plaque of Honor, we combine advanced engineering with practical application.Our commitment to quality is reflected in our industry-leading warranty and sustainable practices, including LEED-certified solutions. With installations across North America, we deliver value through reduced maintenance costs, increased material handling efficiency, and long-term durability. Our acquisition by Twintec USA in 2025 further strengthens our technical capabilities and service offerings.

Seamless Concrete
Kalman Seamless Concrete eliminates 80% of traditional floor joints through proprietary expansion control technology. This system uses Kalman SC material blended with conventional concrete to create durable industrial floors that resist cracking in extreme conditions. Ideal for cold storage facilities and high-traffic warehouses, the system reduces maintenance costs while maintaining structural integrity. Our engineers customize expansion parameters to match local environmental conditions for optimal performance.
Monorock Finish
Monorock provides a durable, abrasion-resistant finish for moderate industrial use. This process embeds cement-coated aggregate into concrete surfaces using specialized techniques developed over decades of experience. Suitable for ice rinks and cold storage facilities, the finish creates a smooth, dust-free surface that maintains integrity under heavy equipment traffic. Our crews apply this premium finish with precision timing to ensure optimal material performance.
Floor Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation process transforms worn industrial floors at one-third replacement cost. Using shot blasting and diamond grinding, we prepare surfaces for resurfacing with patented toppings that restore functionality without facility shutdowns. The process creates dust-free, easy-to-maintain surfaces suitable for 24/7 operations. We specialize in restoring floors over 70 years old while maintaining operational capacity during repairs.
ChemTrowel Coating
ChemTrowel provides chemical resistance for harsh environments like food processing areas and battery charging stations. This 1-inch thick topping bonds to Seamless Concrete bases using the Absorption Process, creating surfaces that withstand acids, oils, and industrial cleaners. The system maintains structural integrity in wet environments while meeting strict hygiene requirements for pharmaceutical and food processing facilities.
V-Joint Systems
Kalman V-Joints minimize maintenance costs by supporting joint filler at finished floor elevation. This patented system reduces downtime associated with traditional joint refilling while accommodating concrete shrinkage over time. Designed for high-traffic areas, V-Joints maintain smooth surfaces for forklift operations and resist damage from re-racking operations. Steel armor reinforcement ensures long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.
