Plants that run carts, forklifts, hot water and sanitizer across the same slab every shift need industrial epoxy flooring laid down heavy and matched room by room. We put it down in food processing plants, packaging rooms and manufacturing shops around Lethbridge.
Each floor is matched to what happens in that room, from the thickness to the type of resin.
Potato, meat and canola plants in the Lethbridge area clean their floors with hot water and strong chemicals. Standard resin can soften and blister under that heat. In those rooms we use urethane cement, a tougher material made for hot water and sudden temperature changes.
Industrial epoxy flooring goes in the drier rooms, such as packaging, dry storage and maintenance shops. Both systems can be part of one job, joined cleanly at the doorway.
Bacteria hide where the floor meets the wall. We run the resin up the wall in a curved cove, so there is no seam to hold dirt. We also slope the floor to the drains and seal around each drain body.
A sealed, crack free floor makes food safety audits easier, because the whole surface can be washed.
Most plants cannot stop for a week. We can do one room at a time, work through a weekend or fit into a planned shutdown. Plants in the Sherring Business and Industrial Park usually plan shutdowns well ahead, so it pays to call early.
Resin plant floors generally fall between $9 and $16 a square foot, and urethane cement rooms run higher.
Thickness follows the traffic. A light assembly area may get a coat about 1/16 inch thick. A room with pallet jacks and steel carts may get a troweled system closer to 1/4 inch. Texture comes from the size of grit broadcast into the top layer: wet rooms get more grip, and dry rooms get a surface that mops clean.
The quote lists the thickness and texture for each room, so your maintenance team knows exactly what is going where.
Every plant has rooms off the production line. Maintenance shops collect oil and dropped tools. Quality labs see chemical spills. Battery charging rooms see acid. Industrial epoxy flooring with a chemical resistant top layer suits all three, and safety lines and walkways can be painted in the same shutdown.
Colour helps a plant run safely. Many plants choose grey or tan for production areas and a contrasting colour for walkways. Yellow lines mark forklift lanes, red marks fire equipment, and hatching marks no stopping zones. Lines built into the coating last much longer than paint on bare concrete.
Alberta's OHS Code expects employers to keep walkways safe, and clear floor marking is one of the simplest ways to show where people and machines belong.

Plenty of jobs here combine two systems, like a farm shop with an office upstairs or a garage with a basement gym.
Our garage floor coating locks out winter slush, road salt and oil drips while giving you a bright floor that sweeps clean in a minute. Each one is a ground, full flake system with a clear polyaspartic top layer.

Tractors, grain trucks, welders and pressure washers all share one floor, so a shop floor coating has to be thick, textured and hard to hurt. We lay it down in farm shops, truck shops and dealer service bays around Lethbridge County.

When a garage or showroom cannot sit empty for long, a polyaspartic floor coating hardens enough to walk on within hours and can usually take a vehicle the next day. It also stays clear in sunlight instead of turning yellow near the door.
