Services
Epoxy Flooring
Our epoxy flooring systems provide durable, chemical-resistant surfaces for industrial and commercial facilities. These 100% solids coatings offer seamless protection against abrasion, moisture, and heavy traffic while maintaining compliance with VOC regulations. Ideal for food processing plants, warehouses, and healthcare facilities requiring hygienic, easy-to-clean surfaces.
Urethane Mortar Flooring
Urethane mortar flooring delivers extreme durability for environments facing thermal shock and chemical exposure. This seamless system resists fungal growth, withstands temperatures up to 250F, and provides anti-slip surfaces meeting ADA standards. Commonly specified for breweries, pharmaceutical labs, and first responder facilities requiring robust flooring solutions.
MMA Flooring
Methyl methacrylate flooring offers rapid installation with full cure in under an hour. This VOC-compliant system bonds chemically to concrete substrates, providing UV stability and chemical resistance for automotive dealerships, aircraft hangars, and cold storage facilities needing minimal downtime during installation.
Concrete Polishing
Our concrete polishing systems combine densifiers and protective guards to create durable, reflective surfaces. The process increases surface hardness by 30% while reducing dusting and improving stain resistance. Suitable for retail spaces, warehouses, and industrial facilities seeking low-maintenance flooring solutions.
Deck Coatings
Deck coating systems provide waterproof protection for pedestrian and vehicular traffic areas. These urethane-based membranes resist moisture vapor transmission while maintaining flexibility in extreme temperatures. Common applications include parking decks, plaza decks, and rooftop waterproofing projects requiring USDA-compliant materials.
