EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS EDMONTON | EXPERT INSTALLATION BY DESCO
UNDERSTANDING EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
Epoxy flooring systems in Edmonton are one of the most reliable solutions for protecting concrete floors in industrial, commercial, and institutional environments. When properly designed and installed, epoxy systems deliver seamless protection, chemical resistance, and long-term durability for facilities ranging from warehouses and mechanical rooms to parkades, laboratories, and showrooms.
However, not all epoxy systems are the same. Choosing the right system depends on several factors, including traffic levels, chemical exposure, moisture conditions, safety requirements, and aesthetic goals. Thin-film epoxies, high-build coatings, epoxy mortars, quartz systems, flake systems, and self-leveling epoxies each serve a specific purpose and perform best in certain environments.
EPOXY FLOORING APPLICATIONS WE PROVIDE
Epoxy flooring systems are available in many configurations. Each system is designed to meet specific performance needs.
Thin-film and high-build epoxy coatings work well in light to medium traffic areas. They offer chemical resistance and are easy to maintain. Epoxy slurry and broadcast systems provide greater durability and slip resistance. These systems are often used in industrial spaces and parkades.
Epoxy mortar systems offer the highest impact and abrasion resistance. They are ideal for heavy-duty warehouse and manufacturing environments. Decorative epoxy systems, such as quartz and flake floors, combine durability with visual appeal. These are commonly used in healthcare, commercial, and public spaces.
In addition to floor coatings, epoxy injection systems are used for structural crack repair, while moisture-mitigation epoxies address vapor issues in concrete slabs. Each application requires a tailored approach to ensure long-term success.
WHY INSTALLATION MATTERS AS MUCH AS THE PRODUCT
Choosing the right epoxy system is only half the battle. Expert installation is critical for maximizing performance and longevity. Improper surface preparation or incorrect application can lead to premature failure, delamination, and costly repairs.
Surface preparation is the foundation of every successful epoxy flooring system. Concrete must be properly prepared to achieve the correct surface profile, contaminants must be removed, and moisture conditions must be evaluated before installation begins. Skipping or minimizing this step significantly reduces the lifespan of the system and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in replacement over time.
At Desco we follow the Industry standards, such as those published by the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI), emphasize the importance of achieving the correct concrete surface profile to ensure proper epoxy adhesion and long-term performance.
