Choice of Coating
Epoxy offers a wide range of possibilities for covering your home floor. This coating will offer style and protection to your concrete floor. Epoxy is also popular for commercial projects because of its high chemical resistance and versatility.
We apply the epoxy coating mostly on concrete surfaces. It is sometimes possible for us to apply on other types of surfaces such as plywood, ceramic, etc. Contact us for more information.
Epoxy offers an infinite number of possible colors to cover your floor.
When pouring concrete, we recommend flattening the new slab with two helicopter passes to prepare the surface. Then, we must wait 30 days to let the humidity out of the new concrete slab before applying the coating.
Epoxy is a waterproof, non-porous and seamless coating. With its high waterproof properties, your floor will resist water damage. In addition, before applying the coating, we seal cracks which make water infiltration more difficult. Stay comfortably dry with one of our coatings!
EXECUTION OF THE WORK
In the summer season, production times usually vary between 4 to 6 weeks. However, during the rest of the year, delays are about 2 to 4 weeks. Please note that delays may vary depending on the territory. Do not hesitate to contact us to check availability!
Epoxy is installed in 3 to 4 days depending on the size of the project and the type of finish chosen.
For the epoxy, drying times of 48 hours for the pedestrian passage and 5 days for the furniture are to be expected.
You can stay in your home without fear during the work. All of our products are low in VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) or VOC-free, making them safe for humans and pets.
A faint odor may be noticeable during installation, but it will dissipate after a few days. Temperature and ventilation can affect how quickly the odour disappears.
Our equipment absorbs approximately 85% of the dust when in use.
PROTECTION & MAINTENANCE
To protect the epoxy from scratches and UV rays, we recommend applying a protective coating. We offer two types of coating: aluminum oxide coating with an orange peel satin finish and urethane protective coating with a matte finish.
For the daily maintenance of your epoxy floor, a ”Swiffer” dust collector does an excellent job. You can also use a mop to wash the floor with a mild soap with neutral PH mixed with water. Please click here to access our maintenance guide.
Keep your epoxy’s shiny effect by applying wax or polishing it when its original luster fades. However, please note that we do not offer these services.
WARRANTY
Epoxy coatings come with a warranty on the application of the product. A 5 year warranty indoors and 1 year in garages is offered for residential projects. All our products are guaranteed 1 year for commercial projects.

CHOICE OF COATING
The flexibility and durability of polyaspartic with vinyl flakes make it the ideal flooring for garages and exteriors. In addition, it is UV resistant unlike epoxy which could yellow in the sun if not protected with a protective coating.
Outdoors, we apply the polyaspartic coating on concrete surfaces only (except stamped concrete). Indoors, application on other types of surfaces such as plywood, ceramic, etc. is sometimes possible. For more information, please contact us.
We offer a dozen vinyl flake combinations in shades of beige, grey and black. It is also possible to create a custom color.
To prepare the surface adequately, two helicopter passes are recommended during the pouring of concrete to flatten the new slab. Then, a 30-day delay is required before applying the coating in order to allow the moisture to evacuate from the new concrete slab.
Its high waterproof properties make polyaspartic a coating of choice to protect your floor from water damage. We seal cracks before applying the coating, making water infiltration more difficult. Being a waterproof, non-porous and seamless coating, polyaspartic will keep you dry!
EXECUTION OF THE WORK
Production times may vary depending on the territory. Usually, delays of about 4 to 6 weeks are to be expected during the summer season. The rest of the year, delays are less, varying from 2 to 4 weeks. Contact us to check our availability!

During installation, a faint odor may be noticeable. However, after a few days, it will evaporate. The speed at which the odor disappears could be influenced by ventilation and temperature.
Approximately 85% of the dust is vacuumed directly by our equipment during use.
PROTECTION & MAINTENANCE
