Yes, our epoxy coatings are specifically engineered to withstand Alberta’s extreme climate. Our prairie winters, which routinely drop below -30°C, and summers that exceed +30°C, create relentless freeze-thaw cycles that cause standard concrete to expand and contract. This stress often leads to cracking or delamination in inferior products.
We address these challenges by using high-performance Ultra-brand 100% solid epoxy systems. These materials are designed to be flexible yet dense enough to tolerate temperature swings without failing. Additionally, our application process ensures a durable finish through:
- Non-porous Barriers: Our coatings form a true barrier that resists penetration from corrosive road salts and chemical de-icers, which are the primary causes of concrete deterioration in Edmonton and Kelowna.
- Professional Surface Preparation: We utilize dust-free surface preparation, such as diamond grinding or shot blasting, to create a seamless bond. This is essential for preventing trapped moisture, which is a leading cause of coating failure in Alberta’s variable humidity.
- UV-Stable Topcoats: To preserve the appearance of your driveway season after season, we include topcoats that protect against sun exposure.

How does 100% Solids Epoxy Differ from Water-based Coatings?
Read More »The primary difference lies in the chemical composition and resulting durability of the finish. 100% solids epoxy consists entirely of resin and hardener without water or solvents, whereas water-based coatings use water as a carrier that must evaporate to cure. Here are the specific ways these systems differ: Our team is ready to design and […]

Is Epoxy Flooring a Good Moisture Barrier for Canadian Basements?
Read More »Yes, a professionally applied epoxy system is an excellent moisture barrier for Canadian basements. Because concrete is naturally porous, water vapour can rise through the slab, leading to dampness and mold. Our high-performance, 100% solid Ultra-brand epoxy systems create a seamless, non-porous membrane that blocks moisture vapour and resists hydrostatic pressure. In the unique climate […]
