Spilled acid, caustic, solvent and fuel will eat bare concrete and ordinary epoxy, and a chemical resistant floor coating is the barrier that stops them. Battery rooms, chemical stores, labs, wash bays and process areas are where it belongs.
Pulp mills, a refinery and the suppliers that serve them all handle chemicals in Prince George. We install this kind of flooring in those buildings, as well as in fuel and oil rooms and fleet wash bays.
No one resin handles every chemical. Novolac epoxy stands up to strong acids and solvents. Urethane cement handles hot water and many acids. Vinyl ester covers some of the harshest exposures of all.
Before we price anything, we ask for the list of products used on the floor, their strength and their temperature. The resin is picked from that list, never from a brochure.
A spill has to stay in the room it started in. We build containment curbs and coved wall bases into the floor system, so the floor and the lower walls form one sealed tub.
Sumps, drains and pipe penetrations get the same care. Those are the weak spots where chemicals sneak into the concrete if they are not sealed properly.
Fleet wash bays see hot water, degreaser and road salt every single day. A novolac or urethane cement system with a gritty top handles all three and keeps the bay safer underfoot. General mill floors with forklift traffic are covered on our industrial epoxy flooring page.
Forklift charging rooms collect battery acid on the floor over time, and electrical rooms need a clean, non-dusting surface. Both are common in Prince George mills and supply yards, and both suit an acid-resistant system with a coved base.
Concrete in a chemical room has often soaked up spills for years. Oil and some chemicals keep seeping back out of the slab after the surface is cleaned, and they stop a new coating from bonding. We grind deeper in stained areas and use cleaners and primers made for contaminated concrete. Where the slab is too far gone, we cut out the worst patches and replace them with fresh mortar.
Those steps are what keep a chemical resistant floor coating in place. A spill should still be cleaned up promptly afterwards, because the coating buys time and protects the concrete, but no floor should sit under a puddle of acid for days.
Phone (778) 744-5382 with your chemical list and we will recommend and price a chemical resistant floor coating. The Prince George Epoxy Flooring home page shows everything else we do.
Lots of projects pair a garage coat with a basement floor, or a shop coat with slab repairs.
Garage floor coating keeps salty slush and drip oil sitting on the surface, where a squeegee can move them, rather than soaking into the slab. Every garage gets a diamond grind first, which gives the resin real concrete to grab.

A shop floor coating shields the concrete in a working bay from oil, coolant, road salt and falling steel. It is built heavier than a house garage floor, with grit locked in so mechanics stay on their feet when the bay is wet.

Basement epoxy flooring replaces a cold, powdery slab with a sealed surface that shrugs off water, dropped weights and spilled detergent. Lower levels that have ever had a damp corner are where it pays off most.

Industrial epoxy flooring gives a plant a thick, sealed surface built for forklifts, hot water, oil and chemicals. The thickness is set area by area, according to what rolls and spills across each part of the floor.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-setting option for cold Prince George garages and shops. Each coat firms up within hours, even in temperatures that would stall ordinary epoxy, and most floors take a vehicle about two days later.

A warehouse floor coating ends concrete dust, brightens the building and protects the slab from forklift wear. It is one of the least expensive ways to make a warehouse easier to clean and safer to work in.

A coated commercial floor is joint-free, mops clean, resists stains and holds up to carts, rolling chairs and winter boots. It replaces tired tile, carpet and bare concrete in clinics, offices, shops, showrooms and staff rooms.

Concrete floor repair is the groundwork under every good coating. We chase out cracks, rebuild chipped joint edges, fill pits and patch scaled spots, and we fix failed coatings and floors worn thin as well.

A metallic floor is a decorative resin finish with swirls of shimmering colour that look like polished marble or stone. It goes over concrete in basements, home bars, offices and showrooms.
