Industrial Solutions
At Executive Surfaces, we understand the demanding nature of industrial environments in the Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Kitimat area. From warehouses and manufacturing facilities to showrooms and workshops, concrete floors endure heavy traffic, chemical exposures, thermal shock, wheeled traffic, and constant wear. When production is key, A breakdown of a surface into a safety hazard is not an option, rework and callbacks take up valuable downtime, so only the highest performing systems will do. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of industrial concrete coatings and solutions designed to enhance the durability, safety, and productivity of your workspace. Our treatments lower maintenance costs, increasing worker cleanliness culture, reduce safety hazards by crating lines delineating pathways and machine areas. Reduce tripping hazards, minimizing reportable incidents, and increase productivity.
High Performance for High demand
Needs vary greatly within the industrial sector but the core principles remain the same. We understand that Safety, production, and performance are not separate , but all function together for the well being, efficiency, and profitability of the company. We offer a long list of unique solutions to common problems with deteriorated concrete surfaces or new facilities, that are often hands down the most effective way to go. Often costly replacements of old slabs with only surface damage can be left in place in favour of a resurfacing or a coating system at a fraction of the cost or replacement. Greatly reducing, cost, downtime, using up less personnell resources, and extending lifecycle for many more years. We work closely with engineers and planning personnel to execute the right solutions on time and on budget for your space.
Urethane cement &
Urethan cements, urethene slurries, epoxy mortars, and epoxy slurries, are a family of systems that offer bet in industry protection for heavy duty use, forklift and wheeled traffic, and thermal shock areas. These high build systems are often used in specialized mechanical rooms, heavy machinery garage bays, loading docks, or production areas exposed to harsh elements or abuse. Cove base can be seamlessly integrated, and slopes can be created with these systems making them incredibly versatile. these systems are typically not considered "beautiful" but a correctly installed system will typically outlast the building its in.
Anti Slip / Safety Lines
Use this space to promote the business, its products or its services.
Repair solutions
Wheeled traffic areas, control joints, or areas exposed to exterior elements easily break down and cause cracks spalls, or "concrete cancer" as it's called. whether its a simple repair remove a safety hazard, or part of a larger system, we have the resin based repair solutions that will perform better than a full replacement
Mechanical rooms - Water proofing & Specialty resin applications
Mechanical rooms often have special requirements for draining and sloping to ensure liquids evacuate the room in the event of a tank spill-out. Not all common use coatings will stand up to the chemical exposures or thermal shock that may orrur in these spaces. We have the industry knowledge to work with your engineers to get the right products down in your special use spaces, reducing the possibility of costly rework. In fact, intended use is ALWAYS a critical factor in choosing the correct resin and system. We have a variety of resin systems available to suit your needs, whether it's a harsh specific chemical resistance required, a surface subject to thermal shock, or a surface requiring high impact resistance. we have the right system for your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete is a very strong material but it is susceptible to many common chemicals and liquids. Mild chemical contamination from manufacturing processes, forklift tire rubber worn into the concrete surface, and various dirty substances can degrade concrete floors.
Grinding the concrete surface is the only effective way to remove the surface contamination and prevent it from penetrating deep into the floor. This type of floor maintenance needs to be done in consistent intervals with the duration depending on the type of use and traffic volume. Even concrete floors coated with epoxy or other protective coatings need to be ground clean periodically.
It can leave a range of surface finishes depending on the grinding tool used. Aggressive grinding tools will leave a rough finish while fine grinding tools will leave a smooth finish. We select our grinding tools to achieve a specific objective whether that is surface preparation for a resin coating or the first grind in a polishing process. The surface finish should always be matched with the application.
Concrete floors are susceptible to a wide range of common chemicals and acids. The porous nature of concrete allows harmful chemicals and acidic liquids to be absorbed into the floor which can cause serious and even permanent damage to concrete floors.
Contact us for a recommended concrete flooring solution for your business.Grinding typically refers to the rough grits while polishing refers to the fine grits. Both grinding and polishing are processes that mechanically grind the concrete surface, only the grit size changes from large to ultra-fine diamond grit. Concrete grinding typically uses a single rough grinding step and is used in floor preparation before epoxy installation or to clean up a concrete floor. Polishing is a sequence of steps that refine the surface.
