Yes, we can complete a one-day installation for specific coating systems in the Canadian climate when conditions are right. For our hybrid epoxy-polyurethane formulation, the fast-curing chemistry allows us to apply multiple layers—including primer, base coat, and topcoat—within a single day.
To ensure a successful one-day turnaround in regions like Edmonton and throughout Alberta, we follow three essential requirements:
- Meticulous Surface Preparation: We utilize dust-free methods, such as diamond grinding or shot blasting, to ensure proper adhesion.
- Substrate Moisture Control: We verify low moisture levels to prevent curing delays or bond failure.
- Climate Management: We schedule installations when ambient conditions and temperature control promote rapid curing.
While this rapid process makes the floor ready for foot traffic in just 1–2 hours and full use within 24 hours, some decorative finishes, such as metallic epoxy floors, require longer cure times and are not practical for same-day service.
Our team is ready to design and install the decorative concrete surface that is right for you. [Request An Estimate](https://epo-tech.ca/polyaspartic-vs-epoxy-garage-floor-key-differences/) today to see if your project qualifies for a one-day installation.

Why is a Uv Stable Topcoat Necessary for Outdoor Epoxy Projects?
Read More »A UV-stable topcoat is essential for outdoor epoxy projects because standard epoxy coatings are inherently vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) degradation. When exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods, traditional epoxy undergoes a photochemical reaction that causes visible damage, including chalking (the development of a powdery residue on the surface) and yellowing or amber discoloration. To […]

How does Polyaspartic Compare to Epoxy for Sun Exposure?
Read More »Polyaspartic coatings are significantly more UV-stable than standard epoxy. While standard epoxy is prone to rapid UV degradation when exposed to the intense sun found in Alberta, polyaspartic formulations use aliphatic chemistry that resists yellowing and chalking at the molecular level. When comparing the two for sun exposure, we have found that polyaspartic topcoats offer […]

Why is Diamond Grinding Better than Acid Etching for Epoxy Preparation?
Read More »Diamond grinding is the preferred preparation method for epoxy projects because it creates a superior mechanical bond that acid etching simply cannot replicate. While acid etching uses chemical reactions to open pores, it often fails on dense or hard-troweled concrete and can leave behind chemical residues that actually weaken adhesion. We utilize Diamond Grinding for […]

How do You Make an Epoxy Pool Deck Slip-resistant?
Read More »To make an epoxy pool deck slip-resistant, we integrate specialized additives and application techniques that physically increase grip on the surface. Because plain concrete becomes treacherous when damp, creating a micro-rough surface is essential for safety. We achieve a high-traction finish through the following methods: Our team is ready to design and install the decorative […]
