Durability You Can Count On. Protection You Need.

Depending on your production schedule and project size, we might recommend a temporary shutdown.

However, in industrial settings, we know that time is valuable, and we are used to operating around varying schedules when needed. Our team can work nights, weekends, or rolling 24-hour shifts to accommodate your schedule. 

Yes. This process can be both messy and smelly. The preparation of the concrete includes grinding, which can produce dust, even though our grinder will be equipped with industrial vacuums. The grinding process is also loud, so this step can be disruptive. 

Most concrete coatings we use are solvent-based, which means they can produce a strong odor. While our crew will be equipped with proper respirators for safety, we recommend that you avoid the work area during application if you’re sensitive to strong smells.

We can discuss timing and make any necessary arrangements to keep your employees safe throughout the project.

We know that slip hazards are a major concern in industrial settings. 

The coefficient of traction depends on the type of coating you choose. Here's what you need to know:

• Some coatings can become slippery, particularly when wet.
  
  
• Slip-resistant coatings are available if this is a concern.
  
  
• A traction additive can be added to the final coat to improve slip resistance, but keep in mind that the more additives used, the harder the surface will be to clean.

If you’re worried about slipping, inform your estimator, and they can discuss the best options to meet your needs.

Smaller cracks will be filled with a poured-in, quick-dry solution. Larger cracks will be V-grooved out and then filled in using a specialized, two-component mending solution that cures very quickly and can be ground smooth in 20 minutes.

Deep cracks will be backfilled with sand before using the same process. Spalled or damaged concrete will be ground to remove any loose material and provide a sound substrate before using the same mending solution to fill in the damaged areas.

We exclusively use professional-grade, industrial concrete coatings. Most of these are two-component systems that require specialized training to apply correctly, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish. We are Certified Installers of many of the top industrial coating manufacturers. 

Our focus is on matching the needs of your space to the right concrete coatings to maximize performance, safety, and durability. 

The main difference between epoxy and polyurea lies in their chemical composition and application purposes. Here’s how they differ:

Epoxy:

• Traditionally used as a primer or base coat for concrete, metal, or wood surfaces.
• Applied to prepared surfaces to form the foundation of a coating system.
• Not used as a topcoat, as it can amber or chalk over time if exposed without a
  protective topcoat.

Polyurea:

• Can be used as both a base coat and a topcoat.
• Offers faster curing times, making it ideal for projects needing quick turnaround.
• Often applied over epoxy to create a coating system, with polyurea acting as the topcoat for enhanced durability and protection.

When used together, epoxy provides a solid base, and polyurea or polyurethane serves as a protective topcoat.

No, polyurea is not stronger than epoxy; both are similar in terms of strength, but they have
different chemical compositions. Here are the key points:

• Strength: Polyurea and epoxy are comparable in strength, but their suitability depends
  on the specific application.
• Chemistry: Their chemical makeup is different, which influences their curing times,
  flexibility, and resistance properties.
• Use Cases: The right choice depends on the area’s needs (e.g., impact resistance, chemical resistance, heat or cold resistance), rather than one being inherently stronger.
• Marketing Influence: There has been a marketing push that downplays epoxy's
  strengths, but this is not based on performance differences.

Both coatings are valuable, and selecting the right one should be based on the specific
requirements of the project.

We are proud to serve industrial sites across the Intermountain West. 

While our main offices are located in Boise, Idaho, and Elko, Nevada, our industrial concrete coatings team has traveled across Idaho, northern Nevada, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Wyoming, and Montana. 

We understand the value of getting crews that understand your industry's unique demands, so we are more than happy to travel to your job site should you choose to work with us.
