About Cambridge Epoxy Flooring

We Start With The Concrete

A good coating depends on the slab under it. Before suggesting a system we take a moisture reading, trace the cracks, scrape at any old finish and ask what rolls or drips across the floor.

That visit tells us which system will last. A basement near the river needs a different primer than a dry garage. A plant floor with coolant needs a different topcoat than an office. We explain the reason for each choice on the quote.

Diamond Grinding On Every Job

Every floor we coat is ground with diamond tooling. That leaves a texture like a fine file, and the same pass clears away paint, curing film and tired kits.

Acid etching is faster and cheaper, but it leaves a weaker bond. We grind every time, on a one-car garage or a large warehouse. The dust is pulled into a vacuum as we go, so the rest of the house or building stays clean.

Cambridge Floors Face Salt, Hard Water And Heavy Traffic

Floors in this city deal with a few common problems. Road salt comes in on every car in winter. Hard water means most basements have a softener that can spill salt and brine. Many plants run forklifts and carts on the same slab every shift.

We plan each coating system around those problems. Garages get grip and a salt-proof seal. Basements get moisture testing and a sealed utility area. Plants get thicker builds and phased schedules.

Three Old Towns Mean Many Kinds Of Floors

Cambridge joined Galt, Preston, Hespeler and Blair into one city in 1973, and its floors still show the mix. Galt has heritage homes and an old downtown on the Grand River. Preston has older houses and plazas along King Street. Hespeler pairs a historic village around Queen Street with newer streets on its east side. Then there is the industrial land near Highway 401, where much of the city's manufacturing and warehousing sits.

Each of those areas brings different slabs, from thin century-old basements to plant floors poured last year. Our epoxy flooring process is set up to handle all of them.

We Keep The Work Area Tidy

Grinding for epoxy flooring is done with dust collection running. Doors, walls and drains are taped and covered before work starts. At the end of each day, tools are put away and the area is left safe. When the epoxy flooring is finished, we haul away our waste and leave the space ready to use.

Your Quote Lists Everything

On paper you will see the system, how many coats, the film thickness, each repair and the price. It also lists the dates and how long the floor will be out of use. There are no surprise charges after the work starts.
